The way I see it is that maybe the Valve boys should just shutup. Of course people who don't get their games on their platform are going to try and find reasons why it's not on there. Other PC/360 exclusives like Mass Effect don't gather the same animosity for the developer from the PS3 community, and why is that? Pretty simple, the developer doesn't consistently try to convey totally stupid excuses as to why ME is not on the PS3.
In the case of Valve, well everyone knows good old Gabe is an ex Microsoftie. Right away he has to tread lightly and all the more reason why he just needs to keep his mouth shut, or maybe just come out and say, "it's a business deal exclusive". Better still, just STFU and it gives less ammo to the PS3 fanbois.
Seriously, when you look at the history of comments from Valve, starting with Big Boy Gabe and his early in the piece remark about "Sony should just bypass this gen... blah blah" - I mean what's the deal with that? Valve are a games developer and to be honest, it's totally inappropriate for them sprouting trash talk of this ilk for any console or hardware platform. It's just stupid PR. In fact, it's just plain old dumb.
