why is this news? they stated this like a year ago...

This is the 4th time they've apologized for the Orange Box...a game they didn't even code and just outsourced to EA, and still they are getting shitted on by PS3 fanboys -_-. Orange box was 2 years ago...Valve apologized already let it go, no need to hold a grudge for 2 years you'll just develop an ulcer.

They may have apologized a bunch for the Orange Box....but they also called the PS3 pretty much worthless several more times. And I mean...something like Uncharted 2 only cost $20M so the "too many resources to develop on PS3" excuse is a farce. They have NO reason to not make a PS3 game....and they don't do it.

So what if they crapped on the PS3. Pretty much every Sony developer has talked shit about other consoles too. Do you give them crap for it?

Well...for the most part, you're wrong. Didn't one of the guys at Insomniac say they would love to make a Wii game at some time?

Valve, on the other hand? Without even developing for the PS3 "it's shit, not worth it, too hard, too many resources needed"....for THREE YEARS!

Now they want to retract their statement (still not having developed a PS3 game yet) and say it's a viable platform? Because it's selling more now? MGS4 has sold more than any of their games on the 360, and cost more than any of their games. But when it released, Konami was rolling in money afterwards. And that was in 2008 when the PS3 had a userbase of like 12M. So to say that it wasn't worth it, and that their input would eclipse their return was just ignorant. 

But I already know what's going to happen. They've done this before. The 360 is going to get another price later this year, and the US media is gonna be all like "PS3 is doomed again, because the 360 outsells it by 9k each week", and Valve will hop back on their original bandwagon and say PS3 sucks again
