> I have a simple suggestion. Voodoo died, get a new card. Nope - bad response. You just told 35,000 people "sorry, but we don't want to help you".
You've read Valve's hardware survey, haven't you? the one at http://valve.speakeasy.net/survey/ Read it - because it's not always what you expect. Eg, 50% of users have 128 MB of RAM or less. Only about 15% of users have a 1 gig or faster box. Most ppl (22.5%) use a Riva TNT2. 5% use Voodoo 3. Only 52% use AGP (which means 48% are PCI or what's on their mother board). It would be great to design a game aimed at 1.5 gig boxes with 512 MB and Geforce 3 on AGPx4, and T3 connections - but it aint reality. Now back to Voodoo 3/3k. You could just say "We don't support Voodoo 3/3k" with a MOD, but let's do a little math first. 639867 people answered the survey. 4.8% have Voodoo 3 cards. That's 30,700 people you just told were SOL. That's a lot of people. Ah - crap. I think I just hijacked my own thread and turned it into another slashdot worthy ramble :^/ _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
