its not the answers hes giving. I respect him for being as honest as he is
See you even say the answers are not exactly dicky, but apparently a developer that is finding success in developing games for PC architecture and not wanting to spend its time trying to develop for a system that is foreign to them is pretty stupid.
I have this feeling it might be easier to convince a brick wall then you.

"I don't think it's fair to pick on devs for not developing games for a particular console. You can think his excuses are lame if you want, but Valve owes nothing to PS3 owners more than the apology they've already given for the OB, which appears to be EA's fault in the first place.Of course it'd be nice to get Valve games on the PS3 as well. But what can ya do? It's their call to make. Their loss to take. I've been exclusively a Mac owner for about a decade now. That was my choice. A lot of games can but do not come out for that platform. I don't blame the devs for that. I'm sure they would if they felt it'd be worth the investment. And if I wanted to play those games, I guess I'd have to get myself a PC. "

" Here's a question Akeldama, do you consider Valve not releasing consistent updates to the 360 and releasing them for the PC "douchy"? What about it being free on the PC and it not being free on the 360? And did the Portal update come to the 360? I can't remember... The PS3 isn't the only console that gets robbed out of content from Valve. "yes but they also dont have an outspoken dev constantly bashing the console. As Bucketdeth said, new tech is only new for a certain amount of time. There is no excuse not to dev for it.
