It will come back to bite him eventually. Epic's attitude towards gaming is a prime example of what is wrong with western developers today and why gaming is panned by the media. I completely disagree with him and his company's views on the industry and overall advancement as a whole. It's not just about being 'bigger and better' and being more technologically advanced. Too many companies fall for this and end up disappointing in the end. Isn't that what happened to the Halo series? It got too big (in terms of conflict scale) for its own good. Don't repeat this with Gears, please.
Epic still hasn't admitted that UT3 didn't sell as well as planned due to lack of any sort of innovation hence why it got annihilated in sales to CoD4 and TF2. It's the same as UT2004, only a stripped down and prettier version. Their answer is that PC gaming is turning into 'casual' based stuff, however they seem to forget that CoD4 and the Orange Box were one of the better selling titles last year. With their current standpoint I have doubt that Gears 2 will be disappointing.
