Speaking at Gamescom, Valve project manager Erik Johnson said he feels that Valve has mistreated PS3 users in the past. Johnson referred to the PS3 edition of the Orange Box, which suffered from low frame rates and no DLC support.
“PS3 is incredibly important to us. We don’t feel that the PS3 users had the Valve experience that we like to deliver,” said Johnson. “We kind of fixed everything wrong in the products that we delivered before for the PS3, which we thought were good, but weren’t quite the Valve experience.”
Johnson said that delivering Steamworks to the PS3 platform will go a long way to solving the kind of problems experienced with the Orange Box.
“We’re looking forward to solving that and having Steam on [PS3] is incredibly valuable to us. In a lot of ways that is the way we define a customer having a good experience because it’s the way that we keep talking to that customer over time,” Johnson concluded.
