A story out there that three former top employees at Naughty Dog have joined Valve is true. It's also three years old.

The site PlayStation Lifestyle put up the item yesterday. Kotaku linked over to it earlier this morning. A quick check of their LinkedIn CVs notes these guys all joined Valve between 2006 and 2007, so it's no sign of any renewed interest by Valve in PS3 development.

The original post follows for context.

Three former top employees of the studio responsible for PlayStation3 exclusives Uncharted and Jak & Daxter have been hired away by Valve, perhaps indicating that publisher won't be developing "stepchild versions" for the PS3 anymore.

Naughty Dog has lost Vitaliy Genkin, Alex Vlachos, and Elan Ruskin to Valve. Valve's been critical of developing for the PS3 and open about their dissatisfaction with The Orange Box port, saying before they return to PS3 development, "we need to be able to support it in the right way." Three top guys from a Sony-owned studio would seem to provide that kind of support.

the source.
maybe this is why Valve is interested in Ps3 more?

Ehhh, it would probably be better to know what it is they do first.

Kart Life 2 and Portable : Cake's fortune

It better be good damn it

lmao, this made the news? Why exactly? Are people so desperate to have Valve on the ps3? Lemme rephrase that, WHY are people so desperate to have Valve on the ps3? no doubt they are good but they are not God's gift to gaming.
THis is quite sad really, clasping so desperately to straws is amazingly poor.

... Should I know these people? Seriously, if you don't give me their former positions I have no clue who they are...

I couldn't care less about Valve developing for the Ps3.

well on Kotaku someone posted this

but hey don't blame me its made by kotaku , i thought people were interested in valve on this site.

not blaming you, just wondering why something that happened years ago is making the news now and not only that but 3 people from company A changing jobs to join company B in the space of 1yr is news worthy? If it was within a couple of weeks then maybe that MIGHT have been a bit of a stretch but with a year is just mind blowing.

p.s

Awesome vid.
