WHAT IS HAPPENING?!

[PyroMenace]

Damn, and I was really looking forward to Halo 4, RIP 343 studios.

Interesting. Wonder who they'll bring in to replace him.

I got a few ideas...

Wow, don't think I saw that one coming - w/ Cliffy B leaving Epic.
Especially given the success of Gears.

hahahahahahahahaha

He'd be perfect to bring to Epic:

CVG -> "Video analysis and reaction: Cliffy B departs Epic."

[Pugnate]

D, come to Steam chat?

[MysterD]

Epic Games -> Mike Capps (President of Epic) retires from Epic Games; will take advisory role at Epic.
AlienLion -> RUMOR - Microsoft might be buying out Epic.

[Pugnate]

This always happens when a company is about to be bought. Major players leave.

But if MS buys Epic then you can say goodbye to their late shift back towards PC gaming.

Wonder what that would mean for Unreal Engine 4 and next gen.

[Pugnate]

Well, I think MS wants that technology. Everyone and their mothers licensed the Unreal engine this last generation. I am sure that's where the real profit is for MS in this purchase.

That's my thoughts exactly.

If M$ does buy-out Epic, I hope M$ don't get to take UE & make it exclusive to XBox. That'd not be good for a GOOD portion of the industry - since UE is used....pretty much everywhere.

[PyroMenace]

I'll let you in on a secret to relieve you of future anguish.

Stop hoping.

Bluesnews -> Mike Capps leaves advisory role at Epic; and also leaves Epic entirely.

I tried to read that but my eyes exploded after about three seconds.  What is this, 2000?
