Comment Copy of Forum post and Letter to Nvidia (Score 1) 180
Dear Nvidia: Here is a copy of a letter I posted on the forums on www.hardocp.com. This letter is in response to several webmasters complaints of strong arm tactics being employed by your p.r. people toward the independant hardware review sites: "Wow. I read all the Nvidia hoopla as it was going on and as currently summarized. WOW. I personally buy my hardware based almost solely on reviews. I hope these reviews are unbiased but I always take them with a grain of salt and try to read as many of the reviews as I can stomach. If nvidia actually succeeds in strongarming the independent hardware reviews they will eventually become biased and completely worthless. At that point I will just have to wing it on which card to buy and I'll buy the one with the cooler packaging graphics. I think 3dfx has Nvidia beat easy with that guy on fire. Seriously though, if the next crop of boards run neck and neck (in my opinion) I will go for the 3dfx board. This whole fiasco HAS had an impact on my buying decisions if all other things are equal. Why should nvidia use my money to pay these moronic pr people ? I hope nvidia sees what their employees are doing and either changes it's practices or fires these rogue p.r. idiots. I would also hope that other readers of excellent sites like this and others would take this same stance and consider what Nvidia is doing with our hard earned money to Kyle and the rest of the hardware community. Fight the good fight Kyle. Keep it up (use viagra if you have to)." Gator aka (RantBait)
