    Aw :S Well something like that had to happen one day... too bad it's for Sony and not for Microsoft :p

    I like how they say "Well, all your personnal details have been stolen, buuut... about the credit cards numbers we are still... "unsure", eh ? " :roll: .

    It's a company full of thousand of people, not just one guy sitting there? That's why.

    ahhh i see

    As Valve is a company then it doesn't quite sound as bad as if you used it for a person; as valve is collectively a group of people.

    Valve are bad doesn't sound as bad as: Kilvion are bad - that just sounds horrible.

    If your being picky then yes i suppose it should be Valve is bad but either one would be acceptable to use in conversation in the UK.

    Edit: Double Ninja'd

    ^^ This.

    Yeah you'll often here chavs and them kind speak like "I is a bad man". Its bad English.

    Its interesting to see how people who dont speak English as their mother tounge pick these things up though :D

    A quick google search for "company names followed by plural or singular?" brought up a lot of opinions. ^^

    Seems the general consent is that it's actually wrong, but that depending on the context it can be used because, as others said, Valve is a company consisting of a lot of people.
