@sobrguy lol I believe you might have some dramatic sequences in there for better reading material. EA owns Valve and while Valve did all the work on The Orange Box for the PC and Xbox 360 the PS3 version was outsourced to a European EA team that had experience developing for the PS3.

@UltimaChocochu

that is correct. Valve started porting The Orange Box to the PS3, got confused and lazy and dropped in EA’s lap with no help from their team. EA did the best the could while their hands were full with other projects. after that Valve gave them one patch sorce code to fix the Team Fortress 2 bug that happened when the PSN friend list went to 50. when Valve developed more patches and add-on content, EA asked for the sorce code but was denied. now not only don’t we have the map packs and other goodies for Team Fortress 2, but if you have more than 50 PSN friends, you are blocked from signing into TF2. EA was never able to correct the frame rate either. that was the one and only time i felt bad for EA. so yeah. i’ve hated Valve for a long time. no one should have to go through the hassle of creating a new account to play TF2. i did TWICE! haven’t touched the game in at least 8 months now. the only reason i haven’t sold it is ’cause of Portal.

I would have bought it for PS3. Oh well, I guess they don’t want my money.

Well Valve wouldn’t be technically developing for the PS3, because EA would port it just like they ported the Orange Box(I think that was it).
So it’d be Valve DEVELOPING for 360, but EA porting to PS3.
However, I dunno if any of it is true or not because it seems quite strange BUT, EA loves money so XDDD

I’m not buying it. Valve has voiced strongly against programming for the PS3, I’m thinking this is a typo.

Didn’t valve just get done talking about how lazy they were so they weren’t going to program
for the ps3?
