Valve open to work with PS3 development

Just because Gabe Newell thinks that the PS3 is a waste of time, doesn’t mean that Valve Corporation is closing doors on the console altogether. In fact, Valve’s PR exec, Doug Lombardi, expressed that the company is “up on the idea” of developing for the PS3. Who cares what their managing director thinks?

I’d sure like to know what ol’ Gabe said when his staff at Valve decided to aim for PS3 development. At any rate, the problem for the developer now lies with their lack of PS3 experience. Sure, they have a strong Xbox 360 and FPS background, but they haven’t quite explored the Sony console just yet. “We have to get people under our roof who are dedicated, talented PS3 guys and then all bets are off,” Lombardi said.

So does that mean Valve is hiring? “Valve is always looking to hire people. So yeah, definitely,” he said. Left 4 Dead 3 for PS3, anyone?
