iBotModz_Bot Posted September 10, 2010 Report Posted September 10, 2010 From computerandvideogames.com:Valve boss Gabe Newell has called his company's assumptions over Xbox Live "such a train wreck". When asked if its mistake on Xbox Live was to assume Microsoft would let Valve update its games more often, Newell said:"We thought that there would be something that would emerge, because we figured it was a sort of untenable... Oh yeah, we understand that these are the rules now, but it's such a train wreck that something will have to change." Microsoft has a notoriously closed approach to its online service compared to PSN, with developers allowed as little as one free title update (though there are exceptions) and limitations on the amount of free game content they can release.

Lockon Posted September 10, 2010 Report Posted September 10, 2010 They should just have microsoft game studios publish the xbox port. That means to hand over their rights just like Bungie.
Quinn Posted September 10, 2010 Report Posted September 10, 2010 Meh. I think Valve should have stayed on the PC.
gruntmods Posted September 10, 2010 Report Posted September 10, 2010 That means to hand over their rights just like Bungie.no it doesn't, they didn't hand it over to EA for the console ports, neither did bungie with activision. It depends on the contract they agree on, bungie was purchased by Microsoft remember? When they were allowed to be independent part of the deal was Microsoft got to keep halo.
Lockon Posted September 11, 2010 Report Posted September 11, 2010 Meh. I think Valve should have stayed on the PC. Agreed, Since they have more freedom and can update as much as they see fit.
Randomrocket Posted September 11, 2010 Report Posted September 11, 2010 Agreed, Since they have more freedom and can update as much as they see fit.Microsoft really needs to allow more patches/updates for video games. Doesnt it cost a ton for a second title update?
Lockon Posted September 11, 2010 Report Posted September 11, 2010 Microsoft really needs to allow more patches/updates for video games. Doesnt it cost a ton for a second title update? yeah. Valve actually care about their customors and give free stuff all for free and they do it because we love them.
