Valve: Buy Portal 2 on PS3, get it on Steam, linked IDs, crossplatform play

[Pyro as Bill]

I called this back at E3. Sony is signing their own death warrant.

Valve doesn't care whether you own PC/Mac/PS3 and soon Wii (2?).

It will start with Valve games and slowly other publishers will join in. Soon, if you want the best version of a 3rd party game with digital copies for each system you own, you'll have to link it to your Steam account.

Once Steam gets rolling, only one publisher will have a strong enough first party library to distinguish itself.

Nintendo Steam

v

Sony Steam 

v

MS Live

 

Valve are gonna thrash MS and Sony at the '3rd party exclusive game' that they enjoy playing so much.

Karma, I love it.
