EXACTLY. I wish people would realize that more often... I love Nintendo games, so when people complain about the majority of Wii games being Nintendo games, well... There you go. Doesn't bother me.

It's also worth noting, though, that Epic's always been full of arrogant (swear word of choice here)s since the beginning. I had a bunch of reeeeeally old (like, 80s/90s old) computer platforming-style games by them, and the games made jabs at Nintendo all the time, and blatantly said in-game something to the effect of "our game's so much better than Mario". In reality, Epic's games had to be the most awful computer games I've ever played.

I realize that has nothing to do with anything, but my respect for the company is pretty much non-existant.

By the way, I wholeheartedly agree that you need to consider all of the aspects of a game... which is exactly what Epic seems to NOT be doing. You also need to figure out what part of a game means more to you, and it's obviously visual/audio for those guys.
