I won't comment on the usual fanboy stuff that's going on in this thread. I'll only say that if I were a shareholder of Epic, I'd have some serious discussion with the CEO.
The problem in this business is that a lot of people in the business can't seperate making money and their hobby. That's sad, but also kinda sweet.

Epic games is a privately owned company. Therefore there is no shareholders that can nag at him... |
In that case I actually have respect for him. He just does what he likes without taking the easy way. Before I get all kinds of comments: I'm serious. If he doesn't want to make Wii games, while that's where the money is, he sees making games as a passion, and I like that. |
Exactly why I thought when I read his statements... plus he has a sense of humour unlike most devs who are shamelessly promoting their games 100% of the time in interviews. I thought the virus comment is quite funny... I don't see why wii fans see his comment as an insult...some nintendo dev called xbox live full of shit few weeks back without any reason why... that was an insult. |
I remember in a place not far from here, when MS made a snarky remark on PS3 GTAIV install times and those who took offense were apparently stupid fanboys without a sense for humour, yet the situation is the exact same if someone critiques the Wii. (This has nothing to do with disolitude, just an observation!) Just goes to show that indeed none of the groups in here are better than others and everyone has a sore spot for their console of choice. OT: I could've been considered in bad taste what he said, but was anyone honestly surprised at this from a dev like Epic? I sure wasn't, knowing their track record, I expected as much from their part. |
Yeah, Epic seems like a company that gets the do what they want, when they want at this point so no I am not surprised at his comments at all.
If Miyamoto said Xbox 360 is for drunk people with ADD I'd be surprised...but I'd still be laughing my ass off if that happened. :)
