So, unless Valve is interested in a one time payment from SOE for Valve to use steam and its bandwidth to distribute PS2 it is not happening. At this point I do not think SOE needs steam. On the other hand more players in game potentially visiting the cash shop is advantageous to SOE.
I think I just had an anurism. =/
Would the money SOE pays Valve for PS2 to be on steam be less than or equal to the revenue generated from steam players buying station cash?
