Chet Faliszek of Valve has said that the company is "about people sitting on their couches or at their desks", going on to say "it’s just not a space our engine has been looked at or optimized for."

This means we can't be expecting games such as Portal or Half Life on the 3DS (or even on the Vita) any time soon, or at all if Valve really are that disinteresed in handheld gaming.

When asked if gaming on the small screen tickles the Portal-maker's fancy, write Chet Faliszek told Kotaku: "We're about people sitting on their couches or at their desks."

The message is clear - Valve does PC and console games. That's it. But Faliszek went on to clarify anyway: "We haven't forayed into that space," he said of handheld gaming.
