Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why is Valve generating more hatred than Bliizzard?

There is NO indication I will be getting anything from Bliizard on consoles (outside of maybe Virtual Console retro stuff).  And yet, I don't see anyone writing big stink articles or getting irate, staging boycotts and so on?  Why?  Why is it that Valve gets a ton of ire instead?  What does Blizzard get off the hook and Valve is roasted over an open fire?  Is it because MAYBE being console exclusive means you won't get as many videogame fanboys signing up for your console of choice if developers don't make games for it?  Last I checked, Valve does provide more options for their games than Blizzard does.  You can play Valve stuff on the PC also, just like Blizzard.

Anyone want to explain this?  Or is it simply that fanboy religious devotion results in all logic being thrown out the window?

Primarily because Valve will only make games for one of the consoles, but that console isnt far off a PC, so its basically easily justified.

Knocking Valve as a developer because of it is completely unjustified!



I thought the protests about Valve was due to MW2 installing Steam storefront along with the game and other direct download services are not liking it. Or am I completely on the wrong topic :p




PC just turned shitty.

from starcraft to mw2.

and blizzard does get it hate fud, just they have PR talk about anything recently.
i am happy a i bought a console.

^^ Well, aside from the "fanboy" labels, you ask a legitimate question. My assessment, I think it could be that Blizzard hasn't insulted a said console. Best answer I can come up with.

^ that.They called the ps3 a failure because they were to lazy to learn a new system.I mean if you prefer to work with one console dont say its a failure because your team isn't good enough to adept.

Because Blizzard makes good games?


Oh snap.



it's because they are favoring 360 over PS3 while blizzard is just shunning all consoles. Basically many of the people care that it's coming to 360, not that it's not coming to ps3.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

I'm not entirely sure what you are getting at.  Blizzard hasn't had one of their games on consoles in nearly a decade and there is not much indication any future ones will be.  Not to mention the genres they make are much more suited to and popular on the PC.  So I don't even know why there would be someone who wants Blizzard games on consoles.

How does it not make sense that neutrality will garner less hate than picking a side in the console war like valve?  Not to mention valve has just made a lot of comments most likely meant to rile people up.



Blizzard dont insult another console.

Blizzard dont use bullshit excuses for why they wont dev on a certain console.



                            

The difference is that Valve are very openly anti one console. It's kind of like all the companys that bad mouth the wii when they are making hd games. There is no need for it. Valve just needs to make good games and learn to shut the hell up.
