If SK got screwed out of an agreement then, yeah, they are owed compensation regardless of the quality of Too Human. I can see the opportunity cost of actually keeping UE3 regularly updated and supported as being a small price to pay to get Gears of War polished and shipped. Epic likes money, they're a business.…

Microsoft and Sony do the whole server-side thing. Also, when someone sells the game they're not playing online. They just gave up a slot and basically transferred (in a sense) the license to you.

Pretty sure you're missing the jab at Brian. Giz has always been bad about just throwing their bias into a mere announcement like this.

Awesome job getting this thing together. I know of about 4-6 people I could get to tag along off the top of my head.

Theft of what? Play-money? It's valued in real dollars, but it's not a real currency. They took nothing available to anyone else and I bet if you knew, you'd be on it too. These people are going to spend MS points on crap they wouldn't have bought, anyway. It's a completely non-rival situation.

Name one game making use of this stuff on the level of these screens. Crysis 2 doesn't even come close.

C'mon, Luke. There's a whole market segment of college-age men living with their moms still. I know about four off-hand.

@James: Then just keep not buying their stuff, I don't because they're overpriced and operate a very closed system for the context of their products.

@James: Never, because they aren't.

If Sega never flirted with the 32x, made the Saturn easier to develop for (and provided an honest-to-goodness Sonic title for it), I bet they'd still be in the console biz.

@NeVeRMoRe666: Maybe all mothers sound like they felt their dead babies were little angels when their little angels end up as dead babies.

Oh my god, three "the"'s in a row.

Who had the weapon first and who stole the game boy makes a huge difference.

@MetallicaRulez0: I'm sure if he had a better lawyer, he'd be okay.

Please just have good mission/level design.

He doesn't imply or mention catering to the haters. Why is this article written in response to something not stated?

@LordThayer: I agree on all counts except for half-life.

@matthewsucks: I had a pair of AX360's and they sounded absolutely cheap compared to my Turtle Beach X4's. There's a reason that even Sennheiser does simulated surround in the headphone arena - it works better than 6-8 cheaper, smaller, lower wattage speakers.
