Isn't steam out on the PS3?mtb0minime wrote:
It'll probably only work on new sales, have a special code you have to put in. They've made the sale and got the money. Used copies won't make them any money, and won't cost them anything if whoever buys it can't activate it.
Hmm, that's what I actually assumed from all what I read over the last months: a Steam application for the PS3.mtb0minime wrote:
I thought the Steam aspect was just an in-game thing for Portal 2. I don't think there's a little application or anything. Or at least I haven't seen one.
I think I remember a press-conference shot from Valve/Sony where the Playstation menu had a steam Icon...globefish23 wrote:

Would be a bit awkward though, as Steam would essentially be a direct competitor to the PSN store in regards of DLC and other purchasable stuff.
Although, having Steam games parallel on the PC, Mac and PS3, but not on the Xbox, might have inspired Sony to give Valve some special treatment.
Yay she's not ugly anymore _o/

Yeah because being glad the new character doesn't look like some weird zombie alien thing, like Chell did in Portal 1, is obsession and fetishisation.Uzique wrote:
i really honestly don't understand why male gamers give a fuck about what a female character looks like
the obsession and fetishisation of female characters in games like tomb raider, half life 2 and portal is really fucking sad
it's like the worst expression of the gamer-geek stereotype. go get laid and stop caring about such silly shit.

I agree the 'alternate alyx' models (and updated models in general) ruined that mod. It could've been a must-have graphical update but instead it just felt juvenile.Uzique wrote:
