Creative GPLs X-Fi Sound Card Driver Code 369

Posted by timothy on Thursday November 06, 2008 @05:00PM from the intelligent-move dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In a move that's a win for the free software community, Creative Labs has decided to release their binary Linux driver for the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi and X-Fi Titanium sound cards under the GPL license. This is coming after several failed attempts at delivering a working binary driver and years after these sound cards first hit the market."

I hate to break it to you, but the slashdot community is hardly Blizzard's "core audience". Blizzard is going to be just fine. The same bullshit was said about them after the bnetd thing, and Warcraft III went on to sell millions.

World of Warcraft will end up in a similar situation.. just minus you and a handful of friends who are going to be pouting in a corner.
