Unreal dev says Intel graphics harmful to game industry

"'We would all be better off,' if Intel exited the graphics market." - Mark Rein, VP Epic games.
I suspect Epic may soon get a visit from a few Intel Bunnytroopers? Maybe game devs should focus less on pushing the latest expensive graphics hardware and more on better content? Don't blame Intel's crappy graphics for crappy games IMO.


Right, and Intel is actually going to do that....It allows the price of many computers that do not need discreet graphics, to have a cheap solution, though I prefer having even a cheap agp card in a computer, so it doesnt suck into the memory in the computer, especailly with laptops.

I personally thing that the idea of episodic content is a better idea than selling complete games, it should increase the qualtity of games becuase they can work on the games in parts.
