Creative Labs legt sich mit Doom 3 Fans an

Die Lage um den, von Creative patentierten Carmack's Reverse, eine berühmte Schattentechnik, und die darauffolgende "Erpressung", die EAX ADVANCED HD Technologie in die Doom 3 Engine zu drängen, spitzt sich zu.

John Carmack dazu:
Zitat
The patent situation well and truly sucks.

We were prepared to use a two-pass algorithm that gave equivalent results at a speed hit, but we negotiated the deal with Creative so that we were able to use the zfail method without having to actually pay any cash. It was tempting to take a stand and say that our products were never going to use any advanced Creative/3dlabs products because of their position on patenting gaming software algorithms, but that would only have hurt the users.

John Carmack

..und wahrlich lässt sich jetzt schon eine Abneigung zu Creative Labs Produkten in bekannten Gaming-Foren vermerken.
