maybe valve just does not have the talent, most good developers look for the challenge, when the game is done and its a great one, as a developer you feel very good, valve just does not have the talent to develop for the ps3, instead of being real about it, they use bull shit excusses and insult a console and the people playing on it, for me valve does not make anything i have to have , lsft for dead is good but many many better shooters out there, so screw em

Who says it is a job for a developer to seek challenge, or whatever? The industry is money driven.  If a developer doesn't want to develop for a console, and they can make money doing stuff for just one console, with less headaches, why berate them over it?  It is a business, where you make decisions on who to hire and not hire, and what to take on.  In the case of Valve, they had someone port the Orange Box to the PS3, and it didn't turn out well.  I recall reading they didn't want to see it happen again, so they don't want other games on the PS3.  And then, from there, it has apparently snowballed.  The press keeps returning to Valve asking them about this and that.

Again, where does life reward one to seek out challenges for their own sake?

I have to agree with this one point,a company can make millions or billions with very little effort look at Halo3 odst, they put halo on the cover and bam the 1 month of effort they put into the game was rewarded by trillions!!!LOL j/k im sorry.
