Valve "Not PS3 Developers"

In a recent interview with CVG, Doug Lombardi, Valve's director of marketing, said "We're not PS3 developers - we're doing PC and 360 like with Orange Box. EA came to us and said 'Wow, Orange box was an incredible project, can we do a PS3 version?'"

When asked if they thought a PS3 port from EA would be possible if Left 4 Dead became a hit, Lombardi responded, "Left 4 Dead doesn't have that guaranteed appeal yet - it's a new IP,"

He also added, "If you mention a new Half-Life, people want to make as many versions of it as possible. If Left 4 Dead is big, then we may see a PS3 version later, or if and when we do a sequel, people may be more interested in that. We're only 150 people, so there's only so many things we can do. But it's one of those things with partners, wanting to take on that investment and risk. I think until L4D is proven, you'll probably just see what we make in that franchise."
