I have to say, you article is quite illuminating, and I would have to agree, this does seem like typical right wing hooey aimed at one or a few indie developers in attempt to mask a larger issue. Standard tactic.

When one says it is the end of gamers they do not mean literaly, they mean the definition is changing, broadening, and different than what is originally meant.

Also, I respect you descision to not work on Intel products, but I fear it is a bit misguided. For instance, if you parents are complete assholes(and I mean think the worse), does that mean you should no longer function in society? So intel are thoe asshole parents but their offspring need to be operational(and removed from their parents clutches). It might be the only option some poor kid has that can't afford the latest windows. At least you were hacking their hardware and doing things they never intended.
