The Inquirer yesterday quoted "well placed sources" as indicating that the search engine giant was close to purchasing Valve.
Google is thought to be particularly interested in acquiring Steam, which is the Half-Life creator's digital distribution and rights management entity.

Despite this, he recently admitted to the website that if potential suitors wish to discuss an acquisition, the firm is "happy to have that conversation".
