It is worth noting that, assuming the story about moving around "real estate" to "gather funds" to buy Valve is true, they wouldn't necessarily have told Valve of their intent yet. Of course, how they'd know how much to raise in order to do so is a good question, and it's a huge risk if they aren't at least partially assured Valve might be open to it, but it is possible (albeit unlikely) that Valve would think it's all rumors and for it still to be true, if NCSoft/Nexon is going to only contact Valve about it when they think they've got the money.
