Stargazer made mention of the UK being his basis, as for the games we shall have to see if Valve were to charge a fee, I doubt they would but you never know as has been stated stranger things have happened before, like Blizzard selling to Activision.
Also don't ever use wikipedia, it can be edited by anyone and is not a credible source, its a great place to get you started looking but should not be the end of it.
