No surprise here. A incompetent developer refusing to make games on a system they just aren't good enough to make games on.

You sir are a moron.

Sorry if thats banworthy but really saying Valve is incompetent for not releasing PS3 games is like saying "wow that company that is making shitloads of money is totally doing it wrong LoL!!11!!1!"

no sir. As I recall. Someone at valve said the PS3 was too hard to program for. And that they wouldn't make any games for it. If it is too hard for them. Thats fine. Just means they aren't a great developer.

 

 

Also. Last I checked. They don't make nearly as much money as many companies that do make games for the PS3. 

WTF?

Valve has created some of the most critically praised games of all time, including Half-Life, Half-Life 2, and Portal. They are also vastly wealthy due not only to those properties(like the Source game engine), but their distribution service Steam, and partnerships with other developers and publishers.

A word on Steam from Wikipedia:

Profitability

In 2005, the first third-party games began to appear on Steam. Valve also announced that Steam was starting to be profitable, if only due to some highly successful Valve games. Although digital distribution was still no match to retail in terms of sales volume, and despite a still cautious user base, profit margins for Valve and developers were far bigger on Steam than at retail.^[45]

In 2007, big developer-publishers such as Eidos Interactive, Capcom, and id Software started to distribute their games on Steam. In May 2007, 13 million accounts had been created on Steam, and 150 games were for sale on the platform.^[46] In October 2007, with the highly successful release of The Orange Box, and the distribution of high-profile games such as BioShock, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Steam began to take the lead in digital distribution.

There are over 1,000 games available on Steam, and in January 2010 Valve announced that it had surpassed 25 million active user accounts.

Also, note that The Orange Box for Xbox 360 is the 6th highest rated game of all time on gamerankings.com
