So do you think it will be pc only or will consoles get a port?  Maybe it will get a year old port or an orange box part 2. 

Well, Valve has recently had pretty much history of releasing their games on consoles too, so I imagine Half-Life 3 too will get released on consoles. Of course there's games like Dota 2 that didn't get console versions but the reasons should be obvious. Half-Life 3 ought to fit on consoles very well.

Yes you make a good point.  Do you think they will push steam machines as a ps4/X1 rival or do you reckon they don't see them competing.  

 

Obviously console versions will be a big money spinner but Valve ain't exactly desperate for money!  

I haven't really thought about that too much. If I had to make a quick guess, I'd probably say Valve isn't trying to compete with consoles because it's ridiculously hard and especially with what's essentially a PC. Instead, I think Valve is trying to compete with Windows on the gaming front. They're trying to create a more stable ecosystem they can control all alone, and the direction Windows and consoles are taking must be worrying them. Being reliant on Windows is no good for Valve.


I wish them the best.  The pc market is better off without a monopoly.
