like seriously. They couldn't do anything with PS2, it was inferior to their main stay, PC. This is kinda understandable. Yet now we have PS3, which in a manner of speaking is right on par with most PCs. Yet these guys STILL can't find the necessity to learn the console? I mean PS2's userbase was phenomenal for crying out loud and they still didn't find it important enough.

At this point I just don't see them as very good game developers. They are not in it for the money(PS2 shafting), which is good. They are not in it to see what they can do(PS3). They just seem to be forever frozen in their mindset and don't want to evolve. They rehash the same engines over and over, very little improvements. They don't attempt ANYTHING that isnt typical PC coding it seems.

Valve FTL! I support good gaming companies like Ubisoft, Naughty Dog, GGames, Namco, Media Molecule, SEGA, etc that actually have skillz.

They're making money, staying profitable, etc.  Who says they have to address the market in the way you deem appropriate to be "good game developers"?  Sounds like Blizzard is a REALLY poor developer, as that company refuses to touch any console.

Admit it... you're frustrated that Valve doesn't want to invest heavily in developing for the PS3.  It's not that you think they're not good at developing games.

 

Not really.

I could say I support gaming companies like Bioware, Blizzard, etc that make opposing exclusive games for other consoles I don't own. Its just that I dont own any of their games(cuz i dont use or have the systems). Yet the point is I can respect their work ethic. I don't hear THOSE companies complaining about consoles being too hard to develop for yatta yatta. I much rather they skip the excuses. If you dont want to make a game on a particular console, fine, just say so. Don't constantly be trying to make it seem like somethings wrong with that console tho when its really your programmers are elementary level at best for gaming.

To me it seems like they just want to do whatever uses the least amount of effort, a quality not becoming of a good game developer. They make millions of dollars every title yet they refuse to get more staff members? They just dont want to grow for some reason.

And I have never been interested in a Valve game other then Team Fortress. They just don't appeal to me as developers that way. I know plenty of other PS3 owners do/or at least did find their games interesting though.
