Forums - Gaming - Valve: "We're not PS3 developers"

"Valve's main marketer Doug Lombardi was on hand recently to show off the latest version of the awesome looking PC, 360 zombie shooter, Left 4 Dead. But PS3 is being left out of the loop.

Lombardi told us, "We're not PS3 developers"

Seriously the arrogance is laughable!!

Just because they couldn't figure out the Ps3 & Orange Box sold crap on Ps3!

He should get a diet first n then do Game Developing!

Well they are right. They aren't PS3 developpers.






Valve knows their business. Wii/PS3 aren't in that loop for them. Nothing new here.

Hey Konnichiwa, what's leo in your signature for?

For the people that want to actually read the article and not the cherry picked versio look here:

After reading the whole thing you'll see that it's a little better than we don't like the PS3 so we're just not going to develop for it

darthdevidem, there's no need for the end comment either, consider this your warning.



Don't see why they dislike the PS3, but valve games should only be played on the PC.



Around the Network

continue to have crappy EA ports of games, and PS3 owners will continue to boycott you. Valve has 2 choices... Put out Quality PS3 games or get out.

Either is really fine with me. I hope nobody really bought a PS3 for FPS games.

GoW2 ( expect 7 - 9 million entire life and over 2 mill first day), Fable 2 (expect 5-6 million entire life and 1.5 mill fist day) BK3 (expect 4 - 5 mill sales entire life and 1 mill first day)..

Well Valve used to be only PC developers only (I think, correct me if I am wrong). I assume it is pretty easy to port to 360, but requires a bit more work to port to PS3. I don't think it is because Valve has something against the PS3 or Sony.
