Forums - Sony Discussion - PS3 Shuts Up Gabe Newell!

Wow at people in this thread talking crap on Valve because K2. Listen I've played the hell out of the K2 demo and its amazing but neither K2 or GG come anywhere close to Valve. Period. Graphically K2 is amazing and the gameplay is rock solid. However Valve INNOVATES the entire industry with the material they put out.

And let's get this straight: Valve runs gaming like a business. You know, the way it's supposed to be run. For anyone to criticize their business savvy when they are making more money than any other person developing for HD right now aside from Activision Blizzard is laughable and pathetic.

You are criticizing the only HD developer making a profit right now for how they run their business!


Well to be fair Bungie is also posting massive profits but yes Valve is in a completley different league than GG.

@ Garnett - In order to maximize profit and also let more people enjoy their product? It could have been released at a later date or something.

Yes but it would of sold like meh,i still wish this game would of came to PS3,and there wouldnt be a guaranteed profit for the PS3 version.

 


i can guarantee you ps3 version would profit.

No you cant,and if it did it would be offset by the dev cost for the PS3 version.

That needed to be red and font size 80.



Regardless of what Newell spouts in interviews; doubting Valve as a developer is beyond folly, they are, in my opinion, the best single house videogame developer in the world today.
Valve, Blizzard and Nintendo are the finest we have, in that order.

If a PS3 shuts up Gabe Newell, what will it take to shut up Hip Hop Gamer?

Gabe Newell?

 



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

well twesterm (from my understanding is a dev)says most games dont sell 300k lifetime. id assume the games would break even and make profit before that mark. now even if we assume thats the break even point and even if we increase it by 100% (which is a shitload) then break even mark would be 600k for the 360. now ports only cost 1/10 so break even mark would be 60k. i can say with confidence l4d would turn profit on ps3. even if it gets realesed a year from now



Valve make best shooters out there, Half Life 2 is one of the greatest games in history, if he does not want to develop on PS3 he has right to do so, he doesnt have to like PS3, Websites like Hiphopgamer are giving sony fans really bad name
