About time someone called Valve out on their bullshit attitude. If they don't wanna make a PS3 game fine, but don't go slagging the console off calling it shit when nearly every other dev has produced quality on it, or criticising EA for a bad port when they having even tried themselves.

I don't recall them calling the PS3 shit. I remember them saying its more difficult to develop for which is common knowledge. Recall what was said about Bayonetta?

The 360 and PC is the bread and butter for Valve. Also keeping their games exclusive to one console creates hype.

I think it's just PC....

The 360 ports just get made because they're cheap.

I look at it like this.

Say your a column writer for the New York Post.

You get paid a lot of money to work for them.

Some Newspaper in england offers you a small fee to syndicate your columns because they want to show how different life is in the US then the UK, it's like... a 20th of what you make, but all you need to do is email them a copy of your column along with your editor... and maybe ad a few U's here and there.

A newspaper in France sees the column and really likes the idea, offers you a 30th of what you make... but your expected to translate the language into french.  A Language in which you speak, but it's still a lot more trouble.


Why bother for a 30th of your salary?  Sure you'd be making more money, but it's a LOT more trouble for you.  (Keep in mind Valve is a private company, so such things matter more to them then public companies who need to maxmize all profits and grow to keep multitudes of invsetors happy.)
