there is always Valves games to fill the gap ... Counterstrike 1.6 and/or Source, Enemy territory games, Unreal and Quake

so NO it wont affect anyone imo ... only nerds and desperate geeks will acutally die

well thanks alot for making such a list, i lost tracking of upcomming games long ago out of frustration actually but cool, i been always a pc gamer rather than a console fan.. btw i guess HL2 - episode two should come out 07
