Personally, I think Valve are both increadible and lazy developers. Half-life, portal and L4D are all AMAZING games both in my opinion and the general public. But the fact that they don't want to invest the time in learning the PS3 architecture, the fact that newell in the past didn't want to work on consoles before saying they were "too hard to develope for" and that their graphics engine haven't improved since HL2 just gives me the impression that they are increadible but lazy. They make games that are fun, inventive, and atmospheric but generally lack a little something imo. L4D I also thought didn't give me nearly enough content for my buck and I was sorely disapointed in that.

 

But why must they learn the ps3's architecture? Its not like its first place or anything and a system which is easier to develop for also has higher sales than it , so whats the point? The J man isnt sayin they should abandon the ps3 but to say they are lazy because of sony's arrogance to purposefully make their system harder to develop for while at the same time not beating the competition is a big F.U to not only to valve but to every game developer.

Other game developers just bite the bullet and accepted that they needed extra profit from their ps3 sales, valve on the other hand didnt and there is nothing wrong with that.

 

 I'm not saying they are lazy because they don't take the time to develope for the ps3. But I both think Valve has shown a history of "taking the easy route" when developing their again, amazing, games. In addition to that, I don't see how anyone can see his comments as not being inapropriate. True, the ps3 has proven harder to develope for but it's sufficient enough to mention it and let it be like that. Even if he was to elaborate on it, he chose a very poor and childish manner in which to do it. A lot of time and effort went into making the ps3 and yet he suggests they trash it and start from scratch. How would he feel if I was some important name in gaming and talked down his games and said he should scrap them and start from scratch. You get the idea. The man is just inapropriate.
