The latest issue of Game Informer (you know, the one hitting subscribers' hands now with a massive Portal 2 blowout?) may have included a huge reason for PlayStation 3 owners to once again voice their disdain for Valve. Listed in the release platforms for Portal 2 are the Xbox 360, PC, and Mac. The obvious omission being the PlayStation 3 from the release list.
Needless to say, the fans are not pleased. PS3 owners on both the Game Informer forums and QJ.net are livid about this news. Here are a few choice comments.
And yet, for Valve being "Microsoft fanboys" they curiously seem to forget that they're now working on Mac releases, but I digress. What is your take on the fact that another Valve title isn't making its way to the PlayStation 3?

**** Valve. Valve is a video games developer - their one purpose is to develop video games and they can't be bother to figure out how to develop for one of the major consoles.
Not that I'd buy the game on a console anyway (it's more of a PC game), but still, it's laziness. How come EVERY other major third-party dev has been able to figure the PS3 out?
Even as a PS3 owner myself, I don't see the point in trying.
Valve is still full of Microsoft fanboys no matter what we think.
Even if they did make a PS3 version, they would make sure it was a piece of crap on our end. They would then wait 3 years later and then have their founder Gabe Newell come out and say, "Well I'm sorry you PS3 owners had to play this piece of crap. Does it make you want to buy an Xbox now?"
Although I like Portal, I despise Valve right now.
