errr, i think the unreal series has already gone down the drain. 2003 was a bust, 2004 was great, but the new one? 2004 with a new coat of peeling paint.

Kinda agree but it's only going to get worse.

If it's not anti-competitive taking out a major middleware provider, I don't know what is.

Well, to be fair, Sony did much the same thing when they first got into the PS1, 12 years ago. They bought out alot of top developers (at the time) like Psygnosis and stuff. Not really any different.

There's a huge difference. Psygnosis didn't provide a game engine that countless multiplatform developers rely on. And who's Psygnosis and stuff?
