Finally there's the possibility CS:GO won't have crossplatform play after all..
Is there a chance that Steamworks make it onto the Xbox?
Maybe, well see. Thats something Microsoft will has to decide. Theres some things going on with Portal 2 right now, but well see.

Will cross-platform play only be across PC, Mac and PS3? Why not the 360?
Getting Steam on the 360 is not something were able to do right now, and thats how matchmaking works. Microsoft are working with us for some other stuff youre going to see in Portal 2 thats kind of interesting originally I was supposed to come over here and talk about that, because the Portal 2 DLC was supposed to be out by now but youll see that were doing some more work with them. I think that as they get older and older, the consoles are all looking for more ways that they can let people interact, so well see. But right now, 360s not allowing us to do that kind of thing.
Are you hoping to get Steam on the 360 at some point?
I think Microsoft first thought that the PS3 was getting the Steam store, but when they realised it was just getting features that we use internally to make our games, I think they got a lot less worried. So with the second DLC, were talking to them a lot about features that we want and things we want to work with them on and theyre really open about working with us on that, so well see.

Yeah weve talked about wanting to do cross-platform play, but if we do that, it limits our ability to update on the PC because it has to be in lock-step with the PS3. Even with Steamworks on PS3, we dont have the same ability to update. Because of that, we may or may not do cross-platform play, maybe cross-platform will come later well see. But we dont want to hamstring the PC because we want the cross-platform.
