Violently so, no less!
apparently you're inducing a self-fulfilling allergic reaction however, because SEVERAL gaming developers have come out as saying that coding for the PS3 is retardedly difficult. I was gonna let this drop but hey if you wanna keep calling me a bullshitter...

There.
Ooo, lemme quote it for you, too...don't want you skippin' over the good stuff...
Let's see, we even have a quote here by Gabe Newell...
In closing; several developers, Valve's co-founder, and even Sony's own Kaz Hirai have come out and said that the architecture of the PS3 makes it a programming nightmare. My case, it is rested.

Quote:In one of the most shocking and bizarre comments ever made by a company chief, Hirai, the brains behind the entire PlayStation empire, explained to the Official PlayStation Magazine in its February issue that Sony didn't want to make it easy on developers.
"We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that (developers) want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so then the question is, what do you do for the rest of the nine-and-a-half years?" explained Hirai.
Huh? But his explanation didn't end there.
"So it's a kind of--I wouldn't say a double-edged sword--but it's hard to program for," Hirai continued, "and a lot of people see the negatives of it, but if you flip that around, it means the hardware has a lot more to offer."
Let's see, we even have a quote here by Gabe Newell...
Quote:Valve's Gabe Newell said in 2007--long before Sony's decline started--that the PlayStation 3 is a "waste of everyone's time." He went on to tell Edge Magazine that "investing in the Cell...gives you no long-term benefits. There's nothing there that you're going to apply to anything else. You're not going to gain anything except a hatred of the architecture they've created. I don't think it's a good solution."But what street cred does Gabe Newell have? He's only the co-founder of the company that produced the Half-Life, Portal, Counter-Strike, and Team Fortress series of games [games that are widely considered to be among the most enjoyable and memorable, not just of their time but of ALL time], and the online distribution powerhouse that is Steam.
