Oh god, again? Another whiny rant about how Valve kicked their puppy and made them cry? Get over it people, they make the games, they pick the release dates, the pick the projects.
How to feel about Valve (a love/hate rant of sorts)

You spell grammar wrong practically every time you type it. Wikipedia is capitalized. It's "didn't" not "didnt." You spelled definitely wrong. I could go on all day. I had a simple typo, you spell many things wrong and don't know basic grammatical rules. I'd say my grammar is superior to yours.wrecker77 said:
I have been with Valve for quite some time, and I have played every single game of theirs, and almost completely mastered all of them. but....
I really, deep inside my psyche, hate Valve with a passion. But my exterior loves, and defends Valve due to their incredible game line up.
They are very dishonest, they bullshit their fans, and their release time are awful. But they really make up for it in game quality. Let's face it. Every single game they have ever released (lets not think about Ricochet) is beyond superb.
Two other facts for hate would be Steam, and lack of PS3 support. Although, it's not their fault, it's M$'s fault.
So, its a love-hate relationship for me.

Personally I can't stand Valve. Half Life makes it big, and suddenly it's better than games made by the greatest men in history.
I personally love Team Fortress 2, but I feel Valve will simply forget about it once Half Life comes out. Basically, they'll whore out like everyone else.
Also, this whole "Ps3 hard to develop for" thing is getting old. I'm not saying it isn't hard to develop for. But they're not even trying. The devs said it themselves. They don't even wanna try to understand it.
That makes them lazy.

Because, y'know, they'll REALLY want to stop working on a game that they've invested so much into already.Pendragon9 said:
Not really, it allows them to make better use of their time, perfecting games on the platforms they were made for.Pendragon9 said:
They made Portal - Good
They made Half Life - Meh
They made Team Fortress 2 - Ugh
They made Left 4 Dead - Good
They released L4D2 a year later with minimal content additions - uhh Good but I'll wait for the price to go down.
All in all a decent gaming company but not as godly as everyone says.

I haven't taken ol' Gabe seriously since I noticed his e-mail adress sound like "Gay Ben" in TF2's developer commentry...
Anyway, I don't really care about what happens with Episode 3 if it doesn't come to PS3. It's not because I'm a raging fanboy or anything, it's because I can't get PC controls down.
I'll just find out what happens via a blend of YouTube and Wikipedia.
It's a shame they're probably not going to release any more games for the PS3, but I wouldn't hate them for it. I'd guess that learning how to work a whole new system would take a lot of time, so instead they just do what they can, well.
I'm debating getting a 360 just for Left 4 Dead anyway.

Valve consider themselves gods, as right they should, they are worshipped by some.
but in god games, dont you usually end up torturing the citizens? even if the city is prosperous and still growing, some people are usually in relative misery due to the god dicking around

Yeah, I guess you're right. That's why Half Life 2: Episode 3 is already out. And it's not like they're wasting time by trying to add sign language or something.Crystal Cuckoo said:
