Warp3D software render driver : Comment 141 of 158 | ANN.lu |

I'm sure Hyperion have a good commercial reason to release this driver for free, but in doing so they damage the sales prospects of those companies who have paid their licence for Warp3D, such as Elbox, DCE and Matay. People will be inclined to use the software driver and wait for the new hardware rather than buy the existing PCI + Voodoo solutions those companies offer.
However, having already collected the licenses off those companies, I don't suppose they have any further commercial value to Hyperion. |
