Media Molecule have a pretty awesome office, and really love their community. Got LittleBigPlanet 2 yesterday, very fun!

This is what Gabe Newell meant when the PS3 will be the only console with the full SteamWorks experience.

But wait… there’s more… you get the Steam version of Portal 2 as well. So that means that with the PS3 version of the game, you get the Windows and Mac OS versions along with it. You can play the PS3 version, and then pick up where you left off on the PC/Mac, and back again. Brilliant!

This is coming from a company that has publically dismissed the PS3 as a gaming platform in the past. I guess a little sweet talking and some leniency of the platform developer allowed for everyone to benefit in the end.

No word on whether the Xbox 360 version would come with a Steam version, however it certainly won’t support Steam cloud or cross-platform multiplayer due to the restrictions on that platform.

[T]here’s no way that in 20 years we’ll still be using physical media. If we are, then it’s probably because of some f**king…if we’re still throwing CDs into a machine in twenty years, something Christian–related happened.
