Did Gabe Newel just buy onlive for a $1 ? Is Steam about to hit the cloud?

I have often commented on my hopes that Steam and onlive would merge , specifically that our hero Gabe N would buy onlive. And so it has come to pass that a mystery investor has bought onlive rescuing it from Steve Pearlman..errh I mean administration.

The web and usual suspects are spreading rumour and speculation to earn their daily bread so I thought I would hop on the rumour cloud and ask did Valve and Steam head and general all round industry visionary Gabe Newel just buy onlive and if not why not ? Just imagine the power of onlive and Steam combined , knowing my luck though it was probably Julian Assange who has plenty of his own servers and not being able to get out much at this time has much need for the stress relief instant cloud gaming through onlive can provide.

More rumours when I can think of them...

Meanwhile onlive fans remember you can get two free games this weekend SpaceChem and Space Pirates and Zombies.

There is no way onlive can go down , unless Gabe or Julian now mothball it to kill the competition..


And this just in Sony HQ reports raging executives running through the building screaming why did we why did we spend 384 million on gaikai when onlive was going for a $1?Hats off to Mr Perry who's from over here but doing rather nicely over there......
