Godt nok udgav Valve Portal 2 til både PlayStation 3 og Xbox 360 tilbage i 2011, men siden da har udvikleren fokuseret på Counter-Strike: Global Offensive og Dota 2 til PC, og det lader ikke til at firmaet er synderligt opsat på at skulle udvikle til konsollerne længere.
Valve-chefen Gabe Newell har nemlig bekræftet i et længere interview med Eurogamer, at Valve som udvikler ikke har nogen interesse i at udvikle til konsoller, fordi der lige nu er for mange begrænsninger, særligt i forhold til certificering.
"We love the PC right now. A lot.
We get really frustrated working in walled gardens. So you try to talk to someone who's doing product planning on a console about free-to-play games and they say 'Oh, we're not sure free-to-play is a good idea' and you're like 'the ship has left'.
We don't know how to do what we do. I'm sure that other people are wildly successful in those environments, but sort of our DNA tend to not work well when someone is trying to insert a lot of process between us and our customers."
Hvad synes du? Har Newell ret?
