Speaking at a Left 4 Dead 2 press event in London, Valve marketing boss Doug Lombardi has said that Valve aren't interested in creating PS3 games because of the 'stepchild' effect.

"If we were customers of that product on PlayStation, we'd feel like we sort of got the stepchild version of the product while the guys on the PC and the 360 got the sweet version of it," Lombardi told CVG.

The exec also notes that previous PS3 releases - such as the Orange Box - haven't faired too well critically.

"Until we have the ability to get a PS3 team together, until we find the people who want to come to Valve or who are at Valve who want to work on that, I don't really see us moving to that platform," he concludes.
