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. 

No Nintendo developer said that. An anonymous wiiware developer did.

And Mark Rein has said these words about the Wii before. No one should be surprised, and we certainly don't need a thread about it every month he decides it's time to attack the Wii. Saying there's no money to be made for Epic on the Wii is one thing, but Mark Pain-in-the-Ass attacks the Wii every chance he gets. It's pretty obvious by what he said. I haven't heard that fanboy damage control since mid 2007, when people were still angry about the Wii selling like hotcakes and felt they had to do something by basically saying "Yeah, the Wii maybe selling millions...but nobody's playing it!! lololol!111"
