Of course they could be doing it to follow Apple's lead in the desktop market, and creating a desktop that can now have limitless graphic capabilities, and not give 2 shits about a small and obscure group of people (mostly developers)trying to run windows on unix/linux desktops
The US already has someone similar, in the form of http://www.thecpl.com . Prizes of $100k for counter-strike tournaments, and teams like 3D, Schroet all getting sponsered by intel, ati, amd and nvidia.
More data in a single model than a whole map in Unreal Tournament, yet still the same formulaic Quake 3 style crap ala http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/05/13/screens_60 98240.html?page=10 . This is what I believe Half Life 2 has over Doom 3 and future Unreal 3 incarnations - the actual gameplay.

Cut the crap, where's a playable demo of Half Life 2?! Who cares about Halo 2 and its 3 year old graphics!
