The 1.7% of people who have a machine powerful to run it smoothly are dancing in the streets. The rest of us who have the brains to refuse to upgrade just to be able to boot a game that could turn out to be the next Daikatana shrug our shoulders in apathy. I'll pick it up a year from now for $1.99 when this machine gets upgraded.
While people piss and moan about upgrading to play one game, I'll be busy playing Doom3, Far Cry, HL2 (eventually), and any other game that requires a decent system. I didn't build a new machine for Doom3. I built a new machine to play latest generation games, and I rather doubt I will have to upgrade again until Christmas 2005 at the earliest.
I'm quite sure ID will move at least a million units for the PC alone, despite the high system requirements. Feel free to cross your arms and pout to your heart's content. This game will be a money maker.
