Ironic that PCGA would pick someone from Intel, whose lackluster integrated graphics have been demolishing the PC game industry for the past few years. What a joke...
Tim Sweeney was correct when he said that Intel was ruining PC gaming (in 2008). The biggest reason why PC games currently aren't mopping their console counterparts (w/ 5+ year-old GPUs) is because most PC users don't have the GPU muscle to play anything. This leads to hardly any resources given to PC ports and PC-exclusives as the majority of the target market simply cannot run the game.Posted at 6:05PM on Dec 14th 2010 by Cornelius
