This seems like a weird idea for Epic to do this. Doing something exclusive like this limits the breadth of licensing they will get. If I wanted to license their engine but they said you have to wait 6 months because Xbox360 has exclusive UE3 for the first 6 months, I would be very hesitant I think...
Why bother with that when they can spend time porting games you have to pay more $$ for, that you have already played like 10,000,000 times back in 1993...
If the UK said "We own Mars!" and had the military power to back up that claim, then the UK would own Mars. The world is basically like a schoolyard, without teachers or any higher power. If the bully says, "I own the swingset!" and nobody has the power or will to oppose him, then the bully owns the swingset...
How many times does Diebold have to prove they are incompetent BEFORE WE STOP BUYING THEIR GARBAGE VOTING MACHINES?? These clowns should have been out of business years ago.
Maybe it's because they know they are BS patents and don't want the bad PR of squashing small companies for infringement. I don't believe for one second that MS has any benevolent intentions from this.
Hell, if they had just dropped MS an e-mail three years ago, they could have been refused permission straight away, and spent the last three years developing a game using original IP.
It's always easier to apologize than to ask permission.

There goes my PS3 beowulf cluster idea!
Goodbye beowulf cluster, hello fusion reactor core!
The controller is just a single button, but you get to play a character with six arms who wields six axes.
You should sue the truck manufacturer for not putting a drunk driver detector in their 18-wheelers too. Double jackpot!
Yum Kipper would be a good name for a seafood restaurant

The solution is just to move everyone's desk into the restroom.
How do you know the cost of bandwidth will go down?
Even if it does, the resolution/content will just go up to meet it...
Would they still have said "hundreds" if the number was like 1,000,000?
I didn't even know there had been a shooting

How the fuck do I enjoy voice and video with all of my senses?
I've stopped trying to understand a lot of the things that our judicial system does.
