Gearbox calls Valve's refusal to work with PS3 "foolish"

Gearbox president Randy Pitchford has called out Valve, in a sense, for ignoring PS3 as a development platform.

It's not very pretty, but here it is anyway.

"I noticed something on the net not too long ago. Doug Lombardi had to take a swipe at the PS3 again, and I thought it was foolish," Pitchford told OPM. "I read it the same way I read fanboys. Like there's a guy who bought the Sony platform and he's a Sony guy, so he decides he's going to spend a certain percentage of his time bashing Microsoft. And there's a guy on Microsoft doing the same thing.

"Those guys are childish and narrow minded, it's the same kind of thing.

"Valve think their own stuff is the only stuff that matters, to the point where they have their own distribution platform. It's like, I don't care about retail, about Marketplace, or PSN, I'm going to have Steam.

"It's cool, it's good, and they're doing a good job but at the same time they're reliant on the rest of the world. They had to do that [Left 4 Dead] deal with EA. When I see the L4D ad on the television I don't see a Valve logo, I see an EA logo, and when I bought it, I bought it at a store".
