PSU faked 'interview' with Valve? (Update)

From evilavatar.com: " If you ever come across an interview with an anonymous developer from Valve, it might be a good idea to take a closer look if he uses terms like 'complexer'. It looks like the supposed 'interview' with an unnammed Valve employee was actually cobbled together forum posts by a ps3forums poster named 'HalfLifeDev'."

Guys think twice about the source that you get your news from because you never know.

bung tickler6509d ago

i wouldn't say i knew, but i had a stinking suspicion. valve has been very vocal in the past about not enjoying the ps3... no dev was named, and the grammar was horrible.

CNIVEK6509d ago (Edited 6509d ago )

Anyone who EVER thought PSU was a credible source of ANYTHING besides FUD and unabashed fanboyism, is an idiot. They're about as legit as $599USD.com, PS3Fanboy.com, and SonyDefenceForce. :o

ShiftyLookingCow6509d ago

I don't think PS3Fanboy is anywhere near SDF. 599USD is a parody site(with a giant enemy crab).

Rooftrellen6509d ago

$599USD.com is a satire site isn't it?

I know its not 100% pro Sony, anyway, after reading an article on there about everyone joining together with the PS3 to kill casual gaming. It was pretty funny.

RadientFlux6509d ago

Wow that is bad, PSU should lose all credibility with all gamers

madness6509d ago

fo sho. they just lost me as a regular.

BIadestarX6509d ago

Actually they will lose credibility with Sony fanboys community... That's the reason why they come up with these lies. Sony fanboys are not interested in the truth but on someone like(PSU) to tell them what they want to hear. Let me give you an example. The review that PSU gave Lair (8.5/10).. compared to other more credible sites (IGN 4.9).. which one do you think Sony fanboys will take as true? Instead they just justify the bad game by saying that IGN are a bunch of xbox fanboys...
PSU will be ok... they can lie and make stuff up as much as they want... nothing will change. These fanboys sites are there to serve and protect Sony... wherever it takes... and Sony fanboys encourage that.

Lex Luthor6509d ago

Spot on Bladestar.....as always.

ThaGeNeCySt6509d ago

smh... and irrational people believed that 93-94% power garbage

Meus Renaissance6509d ago

I contacted those who know the Admin of that site to get confirmation of this.

TriggerHappy6509d ago

NoU.....

Well the link to the site have been taken down, it used to be over here : http://www.psu.com/PSU-Inte...

I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.

YourMommySpoils2d ago

Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.

Bathyj1d 18h ago (Edited 1d 18h ago )

That's not true at all the OG Xbox had drive and they had hunger and they wanted to accomplish something. It was a great console.

they didn't quite reach their goals and they gave up prematurely because they couldn't win. It was halfway through the Xbox 360 when kinect released and that was when they lost their way and we're a rudderless ship ever since

Agent751d 16h ago

In all fairness, Xbox had some great games with online play, Xbox 360 even better. Xbox consoles started to die with the Xbox One. Ditch consoles for the PC and PS.

YourMommySpoils1d 8h ago

@Bathyj hard to compute ay. Xbox was never better than a PC and that's all they ever were. A demo box. Doesn't get more true than that.

What reputation is this threatening exactly? 😂

Lightning773d ago

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.

The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.

Christopher2d ago

That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.

@christopher: “ That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest”
The key word big can be ether good or bad 🤷🏿only time can tell

DarXyde2d ago

First Forza being generated entirely via AI?

If any company would do it, it'd be them.

Nacho_Z2d ago

Isn't the point that it's irrelevant how profitable MS is, the suits have decided it's time that the Xbox division started making them money. Hence the layoffs, the pivots.

hennessey861d 19h ago

That wouldn't surprise me, as motorsport has been heading down hill since the great number 4. Where as playground have consistently put out better games. I think the two studios will be merged under playground games banner.

The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline

Ross Scott—also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube—has been fighting tooth and nail for almost a full year to help spearhead game preservation. Starting after it was announced that Ubisoft's The Crew would be shutting down, permanently ending support for the game, Scott launched the "Stop Killing Games" initiative.

That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens' Initiative, which ends July 3.

M3talDiamond6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

If you live in the EU then Please sign this or our game ownership rights and game preservation is
at stake. I know there isnt much time left but please consider signing the petition

-Foxtrot5d ago

I never knew Ross Scott was doing this

I love Freemans Mind

Inverno5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

People whine and in the end don't do a thing. Then whine more when they get screwed some more smh. If this makes it then it'll be monumental for consumers. That Pirate software guy was no help either smh.

GazCBG4d ago

The EU Date is the 31st July not the 3rd

"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."

This is welcomed, i like a less cluttered home screen.

Well anything that adds and help gamers is a good thing even if some don’t need it there’ll be more that will use it.

darthv726d ago

Well its MS news... those are usually pretty dry, unless it has something to do with another game being ported to PS. then its top of the pops.

"Well its MS news... those are usually pretty dry, unless it has something to do with another game being ported to PS. then its top of the pops."

Oh look no further than the "Upcoming layoffs at MS" topic. It will easily top the Hottest of the week.

Special guests like Mr. Dead might also show up. You just watch.
