I think more games should allow players from multiple platforms to play together.  Portal 2 is a nice example of how to do it right.

Also, they're wrong, cross-platform co-op is possible with one copy if you do it a certain way.

I don't know the exact method, but you need two Steam accounts and two PSN accounts. I assume you link one pair to get the PC version, and someone else links the other pair and plays on PS3. If that would work, I don't know.

I don't understand how a company like Valve can fix everything that's ever been wrong about cross-platform play, on the first try.

I have an idea. Buy Portal 2 on PS3. Use code to get game on my Mac. Return PS3 version for close to retail value. Swim in money.

And Left4Dead 2 was fucking amazing, all things considered.  

I worried this says more of Sony's worthlessness, though.  PSN is five years old.

L4D 2 is not bad, that was just bad timing, the game is actually better than L4D1 was.

No idea if you guys will ever read this, but that "level 50 bundle" thing you guys were confused about is just a garbage, crap holdover from the tf2 backpack. Humorously, certain items are given levels and descriptors. This was first put in as a funny joke about how loot really isn't what tf2 is about, and having a "level #" hat/gun is silly.
Oh, what a pure, naive world we once lived in.

Cool, now that "Yuuuck" has been upgraded to "fucking nasty". You're really trying to incite some sort of argument that would usually blow up elsewhere; I could sit here and list what makes *ahem* consoles better than PC. I really could, but then I'd be submitting myself into the "fucking nasty" group as well. I play what I play and I don't obnoxiously declare what platform is "for the win always" or anything along those lines. This shit was most prevalent at Kotaku before I got the hell out of there; don't be a Kotaku, Giantbomb community.

Steam on PS3 is weirding me out, but I welcome our console underlings.
