The only valve games i play are the ones i download off the internet and play on my hacked xbox. Never bought an xbox game in my life and proud of it, while iv never once played a pirated game on all 3 of my playstation consoles over the years! So that fat fuck gabe can lose fucking millions of dollars by pirates and not releasing on the only unhackable system

A massively foolish comment. Their games are “good” (understatement) and yet their development team suck? That is a contradiction in terms, even barring the lack of credit for some of the best games ever made. The entire half life series redefined story based first person adventures. The Source engine is a phenomenal piece of work. Left 4 dead is quite literally the greatest coop game ever made. To say they are “good” is just not being realistic, they are fantastic. But you think they “don't have what it takes”? Get a grip man, Valve are not the first to say Sony's architecture doesn't lend itself to making great games without difficulty. This doesn't make them poor developers, it makes them a more considered developer. The only companies to have made stand out games for the PS3, are PS3 only companies. Everyone else, particularly those making multi-plat, have made games of less impressive quality, than a console far older than it.

Valve didn't make the Orange box released on the PS3, it was ported by another company, hence the lack of quality.

I really don't care about Valve developing only on 360 & PC. I'm just pissed because Valve released an unfinished Orange Box game for the PS3, which I then had to re-buy on PC (Only TF2, though). You don't release an unfinished game, say “oh well”, then move on without losing respect. It's like buying a car without things like a radio, an AC, seatbelts, or padded seats. You can still run the car, but its still not completed. Oh well. Valve has lost my money.

I personally think valve don't have what it takes too develop on the PS3, as EA ported The Orange Box to PS3 instead of valve. Yes their games are good, but their development team suck, pitty really, I'm sure it will sting them in the ass 1 day.

Your comment only further proves my point. PS3 exclusive developers are solely focusing on the PS3 and probably receiving a whole lot more support from SONY due to the exclusive nature of the product. Valve would probably stop commenting on PS3 development if everyone would simply STOP ASKING. As the PS3's online community evolves I'm sure Valve will change its stance, but until that time if you want to play L4D, then purchase a PC or a XBOX 360.

Guys, this has gotten so out of hand. Even the Examiner have ironically flamed the piece I wrote as a "hit magnet" (ironically landing themselves on the front page of N4G in the process).

Merely, the point I was trying to make was, it's absolutely fine if Valve don't want to make PS3 games. But if they don't want to make them, they should be avoiding fanning the PS3 flames and just avoiding questions about it. Everytime they talk about the PS3 they make themselves look silly, so why not just reiterate their dedication to the PC and XBOX 360 and done with it?

That's all I was saying. Has nothing to do with "fanboy this" and "fanboy that".

Thanks! :)

But why act like an xbot and bash the consol. There are plenty of PS3 exclusives to prove Valve wrong; they should just shut up and get back to programming for xbox and pc's and not bother the world with their fanboyism
