He says that PC gaming simply has no room for the FPS titles his firm has come to be known for.
As I'm utterly bored to death of FPS games this isn't really bad news to me personally. Even a brilliantly done FPS game, like Bioshock, once completed doesn't entice me back (part of the reason being they are just so heavily scripted). The PC games he says are starting to dominate the PC market, "Sims-type games and WoW", are actually just the kind of games I really enjoy now as they offer (or will offer) fresh and new gaming experiences, with truly open-gameplay.
LOTRO, I've been playing for 6 months now and I know I can find something exciting, challenging and
new to do on there even now. Be it raiding, pvp or soloing; all this coupled with a strong lore-base and great interactive community. With Spore coming out on the sims side of things I've got a lot to look forward to.
Anyhow, on-topic, they did a piss poor job of porting Gears of War anyhow. If they can't get the job done properly probably best off they concentrate on the console side of things.
