Valve is smarter than us. Idea behind this is very simple. PC version is Cheaper than the PS3 version. You are unlikely to buy the same game twice. Rather than seeing PC / PS3 owner get the cheaper and probably superior PC version, they make sure to produce a deal and looks too good on paper for gamer to pass and force them to purchase the more expensive version. The end result is an increase in revenue AND additional exposure in a market they've never penetrated. They only thing I'm puzzling over is how they are going to stop PS3 owners from buying this game and then selling the PS3 copy while keeping their steam copy.
