Gabe Newell on PC piracy

Found this pretty interesting article on gamasutra via kotaku.com about creator of half life Gabe Newell, "PC gaming is not dead".

I usually go to for gaming new Kotaku for gaming news but Gamasutra is good for a more business orientated look at the video games industry, i.e check their interview with Mark Rein on the Unreal Engine.

Read that a while ago, from either RPS or Guru3D, I believe. Made me chuckle with happiness. Mind, I do like steam, there's quite a contingent of chaps who don't want anything to do with it.

My favorite piracy related quote has to be: "The narrow range of folks who can afford to do high-end, Direct X 10 PC gaming are also the guys who really understand how BitTorrent works." -Michael Capps, President of Epic Games

...on a random thing, does anyone else feel strongly about the way that UT3 was advertised as "by the guys who did Gears of War"?

Michael Capps QFT! yeah tell me about it, i think they got it the wrong way around. if not that it should be Unreal 3 from the guys that made unreal the last time or from the makers of jazz jack rabbit.

LOL jazz jack rabit is pro!
