I honestly think there was some back-room handshaking going on. . .between certain video-card makers and certain video-game makers. . .

I mean really - blur effects - they had that crap in Raven Shield for goodness sake - and that looked good too. . .

They are indeed cutting off a revenue stream - sure there are people who NEED new cards when they drop. . .but there are folks out there who wait (my vid-cards fan hasnt been spinning for a year and a half or so. . .and I'm still using it). . .bleah - dummy's.
