Valve and the Ps3

I remember Valve hating the Ps3 architecture, was it Valve right?

so, what's changed now? they're even favoring the Ps3 over the 360 now? :O

I guess money can even make zombie speak

its cause Playstation3 is better for what valve is wanting to do

Well, unlike Microsoft, Sony is a lot more flexible with how they let Valve manage multi-platform development, hence Steamworks on PS3.

Its because gabe is enjoying the PS3 Burgershack now.

Xbox Live is a very closed service, and Sony is more flexible in regards to updating and the size of updates. The plus side of this is that games on XBL normally are fairly solid since Microsoft are very forthcoming in regards to XBL standards for their games. Notice how the 360 versions of Call of Duty work just fine, where as the other versions have quirks.Stevo_the_gamer

I think because of such a "failure" PS3 was back then , with high price and "no games". I guess they thought it wouldn't be profitable. I wouldn't know though

Valve acts like a woman scorned. Im guessing one of the suits at MS rubbed them the wrong way.

Sony is letting Valve put Steamworks on their console. I'd assume that was it.

I dont care what people say that its MS fault for not letting vavle update games on the 360, its probably vavles fault lots of games get free DLC, idk how they do it, or why considering its MS, but it happens, theres more to the stor than we know

Probably why PS3 user get a free copy of the PC verison, it gets PS3 users onto Steam on the PC, ends up stop playing the PS3 verison, start buying games.

basicly free money for Valve

yeah, this. wbtw Sony already allowed Konami to have its own online MGS4 system

PS3 is still difficult to program, but it's open network allows them to use Steamworks which is not possible on Xbox Live. There is no contradiction there.Brownesque

XBL would still woudl've been harder to incorporate Steamworks in a practical way.

I think its more, MS wants full control and Valve wants Full control, I think Steam works, would be something MS couldnt fully control, because Steam updates can be often, that isnt possible on the 360...so ya it would be harder, so its kinda pointless
