And I think that sentence is reason behind this whole uproar ( well it is for me ), why should we have to "turn things down"?

The epi excuse is a smoke screen ... case in point: I've just bought the entire Splinter Cell series, the series is developed in house by UBI and is one of it's main signature game titles. Splinter Cell - Conviction was released in 2010 and it obviously passed UBI's epi screening process. My 2 x 5870 Crossfire set up works just fine when playing the game, with the eye candy turn up full.

So this whole thing about having to implement an epi filter which is disabling SLI/Crossfire is beginning to look more and more like a cover-up. Also there is no legal requirement to implement such a filter. The only legal requirement is to place a warning label on the product, that's it.
