So PS3 gets Steamworks? Does that mean TF2 will get all the juicy, juicy updates?
As well as the huge number of patches for Half Life 2, and the Portal Radio Update.

I'm calling bullshit on this one, Erik may be trying to come across as apologetic an considerate but the fact of the matter is that Gabe couldn't give two monkeys about the PS3. Good on him tbf, an in any case this will only sidetrack the bastards from making Episode 3!! Gaaaaaaahhh!

Very this.
Also, I hope this doesn't mean Valve won't support the 360 anymore. The 360 is going to be the only console (besides the Wii) without Steamworks soon. It's great that they're expanding from the PC, but the 360 should be included in their expansion too.

Totally agreed, I mean, I'm something of a PS3 fangirl, but 360 owners have been loyal supporters of Valve, so it'd be a real jerk move, not to mention an immensely stupid one, to make it appear that they're being kicked to the curb.
Count me in agreement as well, it would be downright mean to toss the 360 and all of the support from that aside like used rag.

The news sounded great up until that reminder about the "waste of time." Hmmm, now that the PS3 is looking sharp, maybe the money fans are worthy enough? But hey, great company sharing the wealth with everybody (hopefully), that's just happiness. :)

It's good to see them supporting all consoles. Now it's time for the Xbox 360... not that they were bad to us.

That nice, but my PS3, who is name Linda, had something else to add:



Yeah, I think Linda is not too happy about this, she was burned once by Valve, Not once, Not twice, but five times. So, when I asked her about steamworks...she pretty much held my Infamous disc for a week.

I swear, My PS3 can be such a Drama Queen. >_<

I cry foul!...........Ok, not really. :p

Actually, I don't mind at all the fact that Portal 2 is being developed for the PS3 as well. As long as the PC version doesn't suffer beacuse of it and is released in a box (which they said is the plan), I am content.

I am going to cry foul, but for a different reason. First Gabe calls PS3 "a waste of time", then suddenly his company turns around and starts apologizing. Suspicious, isn't it? I call foul! And i have at least three theories:

A) People at Valve were paid by Sony (like, a whooooole lot) to stop hating PS3 and conduct some porting to it.
2) People at Valve have realized that no matter how difficult programming on PS3 is, it's still not a good business strategy to alienate it's fans.
Three) People at Valve were visited by a disgruntled Lombax who wanted to play Portal 2 specifically on PS3, and has coerced Valve at thermonuclearwarheadpoint to create a PS3 version of it.

This ... yes. "make it up" Fuck that! Just give all of the platforms that you support the same goddamn thing and I think we'll all be happy.
