This thread took an interesting turn. Someone's stating the obvious and finds himself under attack. Some people are acting way too defensive lately and can't take the slighest bit of not-favoring-their-platform-of-choice.

M.U.G.E.N., you really need to re-read the thread. You shouldn't act surprised to read an insulting line directed towards you, if you were the one to launch several personal insults first. Additionally, there was a lot of misinterpretation coming from your side coupled with ignorance to understand the justification of HappySqurriel's initial comment. IF there's a meltdown in this thread, then it's you, not him.

Why are Epic Games' comments not surprising at all? Because Epic Games wants to sell their Unreal Engine to as many developers as possible. Nintendo platforms have not much potential for profitability for them, because almost all developers can easily get by by building their own engines. Other platforms have much higher development costs, so licensing an engine becomes a common practice and since the NGP enters PS3/360 territory it's right in the ballpark where Epic Games wants it to be.

Remember that they didn't give a damn for the original PSP, that's because they couldn't sell their Unreal Engine for it.
