Developer relations

[no2censorship]

Several questions:

1. What exactly are the benefits for devs who support nvidia's TWIMTBP?

2. Why do a few devs (not many, though) not sponsor TWIMTBP?

3. Why exactly is it so rare that devs these days talk about being unsatisfied with either nv and/or ati hardware, or even microsoft and DirectX? John Carmack is the only dev I've really ever heard voice really strong opinions against something, or at least the only one that comes to mind. I adrmire Carmack for that and his brutal honesty.

I just don't get why not even at least a few of the many, many, developers out there don't loudy criticize the people behind the hardware or api, because surely they have to be dissatisfied with something nvidia, ati, or microsoft could change. I know if I was a game dev, I'd be making criticisms of ATI, Nvidia, and microsoft all the time.

They may have their opinions but to voice them could put their jobs on the line. Justa thought.

3. Because they know that there is always someone else out there who did a better job than them so they finally realise that they don't have anyone else to blame except for themselves.
