Re: Eyefinity and Surround Vision Support?


Whatever. Like I said, by the time the game comes out, I'll have the option of running Surround. And if the game supports wide FOVs, I'll do so.

But I'm more interested in the overall health and success of the game -- and the primary metric for both of those is playerbase. More players means full servers with a lot of action instead of ghost towns that aren't fun to play. More players means more microtransactions for SOE, which gives us more content updates, more often because the game will support a larger development team. More players is better.

So if limiting the FOV to 90 degrees means the game gains and keeps more players because the impression is that it's seeking a competitive, but fair playing field? I'm behind that 100%, even though I'm one of the people who could be "hurt" by it. Remember, whether it's an advantage or not isn't the issue -- the issue is ALWAYS whether the gaming population *perceives* it as an advantage.
