Quad FX Dead? Do We Care?

I have now had two emails pointing me to rumors in the industry about the cancellation of the "4X4" platform from AMD. My questions are, does anyone really care and was multi processor gaming ever alive? I think things like Skulltrail and 4X4 / Quad FX are great technology solutions when it comes to video editing and encoding, but do gamers really need to be building or buying dual processor rigs while we currently have quad core boxes that go largely underutilized. Do you guys care about multiprocessor gaming boxes? I honestly could care less because we still live in the land of largely GPU-limited gaming engines. Maybe you feel differently.
