Plenty other developers have no problems with the PS3 so it's pretty obvious that it's just plain old bias and maybe a little backhander. Still, his company, his decision. Farming out "the box" to EA for the PS3 pretty much ensured that it'll never get any of the TF2 fixes/updates that so many people crave, leaving those of us who care to flounder around trying to decide who to blame. Repeated requests about fixes for the PS3 result in standard replies from EA blaming Valve, Valve blaming EA, Valve removing posts from their forums about it(allegedly) etc etc. There was a theory that we (PS3 TF2 players) might get some fixes, new maps etc along with Episode 3. That however, now seems to have been blown out of the water. Need less to say, regardless of actual blame, Valve certainly have a tarnished reputation (EA don't need any more tarnishing) among PS3 owners. Still, it's only a game and er, an off topic one at that :o) Whatever lame excuses Newell comes out with it’s pretty obvious where his loyalties lie.
