Jim Merrick Calls Out Mark Rein
Wednesday, November 9th, 2005 at 7:58pm by StaffI’m certain everyone here knows what Epic VP Mark Rein had to say at the IGN Live event from a while back. Now, the Nintendo hype man himself, Jim Merrick of NoE responded to Mr Rein’s harsh comments. Here’s what the man had to say:
“Mark has a very narrow section of the business. Epic builds middleware, they’re very technically savvy guys, but he doesn’t have a Revolution controller, he doesn’t have a dev kit, he’s talking about something he knows nothing about…So if he’d like to get a dev kit and really dig into it, then I’d be interested to hear what he has to say.“
This is a very smart way to retort by Nintendo. By saying this, Merrick both hits back and challenges him to back his up remark by developing for the system.

..which essentially translates to, “f- off and come back when you know something. noob.”
Seriously though, classy, strong response from Mark Rein.
