I'm surprised you react like that, though, because it's like you assume we should just always trust everything people involved are saying during interviews...
I've been passionate about gaming since I was 6 years old - and I've been following development of games for… hmm… 28 years now. Don't you think that entitles me to an informed opinion about whether or not being sceptical is a good position?
But, thank you for offering this information.
You're welcome
Well, I actually don't think I reacted in any particular strong way. It was not meant in that way in any case. I started my original post with a "guys, chill out" followed by a smiley. What I meant to express with this was simply that I thought the news bit was quickly being blown completely out of proportions.
As for the rest of my postings, I simply try to explain to people that there is generally a huge misunderstanding going on, among non developers, about how a game is constructed from a technical point of view. This misunderstanding makes them sometimes draw the wrong conclusions when they then hear the word "port". Especially in this case.
I guess I tend to react when people go ape-shit over news like this one - simply because quite frankly those people *over react*, without having anything to base their reaction on.
Everyone likes to have opinions on how games are made (or should be made) and this is sometimes a bit wierd, when making games is what you do for a living. I could never dream of going up to a doctor, and cry out in outrage over the way he says he's going to treat a brain tumor (unless he say he's simply going to cut of the patients head). I know nothing about brain tumors, and I understand and respect that it is a science that he is an expert in.
This also ties in with your other comment. Of course you are entitled to have an opinion and are free to believe what you will. But even 28 years of gaming doesn't mean that you know a damn thing about the process in which they are best being made
