lol wtf dudes

Not cool guys. That article had me going for a minute there..

They should make HL3 exclusive to the Nexus 10. Would make about as much sense.

Seriously though, I don't think Valve would ever purposely make an OS exclusive game.

[Seldoon182]

Agreed. An OS exclusive game isn't that good for business imao.

Hey guys I heard that HL3 is exclusive to PS2. I just bought a PS2 just to prepare myself!!!!!!!!

Do they really need to make a lot of profit on their own games to cover their development? I mean, they have steam as their cash cow, that's all the funding they need. That's how they're able to do all the crazy stuff that they do, right? Am i mistaken somehow. It does seem like they have a good business model though, TF2 hats and all that but even without that... wouldn't steam cover pretty much everything?

I know nothing about financing, I wish there was more information out in the open but most studio's keep their mouths shut

Valve has always been profitable on their games, they'd be doing fine without Steam. Obviously Steam does help them be more comfortable about it.
