Haha yeah for the pc. They don't give a :idea: about the console. They just :trollin: us forever until they finally release a small content update every 5 years that doesn't do :idea: for bug fixes or mod patches and just adds another flawed map with more glitches and bugs.

I'm pretty sure they care dude. This a 3 year old game that's still getting patches and DLC on both PC and Xbox. It's harder for them to release something on Xbox because they have to go through Microsoft where as with PC they own the platform that is used to distribute the content. The game that they really don't care about is The Orange Box on both xbox and PS3, that game I can almost say for certain is dead in their eyes. Aside from that though l4d, l4d2, portal2 have all gotten support on their console versions and I'm sure it will be the same for CS:GO when that comes around. Valve is notorious for having bugs and lazy work in all of their games even TF2 on pc like 300 patches after release is filled with glitches and bugs but it doesn't mean they don't try or don't care.

They care less then.

They care less then, come on now it doesn't take a year and a half to test one map. It doesn't take that long to test for bugs in a few maps. Valve cares slightly, cause they did launch a few dlcs. But valve is more for pc then xbox so they care less about the console cause it's really just a waste of time and money.

Making money that you wouldn't make otherwise is not a waste of money.

On May 10, 2011, Doug Lombardi mentioned that each of the Left 4 Dead games has sold 3 million copies on the Xbox 360 while Forbes wrote that more than 4 million copies were sold at stores in 2009

Yeah dude, what company would want to make somewhere between 30 and 100 million dollars that they would not have made before and that's not even counting any dlc sales and assuming they only get about 10-25 bucks or so per sale.

Plus the reason the dlc was out already for PC is exactly what I mentioned before. It's because they released a beta on PC. You can't do things like that on the XBOX, there is no such thing as a beta release of DLC.

On top of all that Valve is a small company they work on things that there employees are interested in. Currently they have two huge titles they are working on putting out that both have betas going as well as doing a huge amount of content releases over the past few months for TF2. Plus there are no doubt many other things they are working on like improving the steam client and steam trading and the constant improvement of the source engine.

To say they don't care about their games on the xbox is just ignorant. They are a busy company that has to juggle a multitude of projects at the same time. They cant do everything at once. Plus isn't that fact that CS:GO will be on Xbox, PS3, Win and Mac enough evidence to show that they care about their products being available and up to date on all platforms.

Unless there are actual hardware problems that valve run into I believe they will continue to update all their popular titles on all platforms.

I know all that, I was just saying the xbox has less support than the pc. Thats all.

A major patch is coming to L4D2? Damn... No more modding. But new maps!

awwwwwww too bad. haha
