Ageia is acquired? Who is the Silly Buyer?

The Fud are reporting on it, if true interesting, where's Pottsey at?

Unknown bidder

An industry source has confirmed that Ageia has been acquired. We don’t know who got the company but we can confirm that it is not AMD.

We suspect Intel or Nvidia but we still don’t know, maybe is a third player after all.

We will try to get more details.

If it is Intel, would they have a monopoly on computer game physics SDKs?

MumboJumbo · 21 Jan 2008 at 20:59

COuld be samsung or somethign like that. Well they were rumoured to be buying amd a while ago but it appears to not be the case. But why would samsung want anythig to do with physics mmm.

Skeeter · 21 Jan 2008 at 21:06

If its Intel... PhysiX capable CPUs???

MumboJumbo · 21 Jan 2008 at 21:26

nah it will help i think. new company leaders, new marketting (hopefully). all round they should see some sort of improvement

MumboJumbo · 21 Jan 2008 at 21:54

thats what i was thinkig. Cant get anyworse. They already have a total of no worthy games worth buying a ppu for and didn;'t achive anything with UT either. They probably paid UT to add it lol.

i think the key for development is for it to be more popular, and for it to be more popular it needs to get in there with some top notch games, and not just a level here and there. i think a big problem is the cost of the ppu itself.

if it was a lot cheaper (although it cant be, loss of profit etc) people may buy more.

more people have it, developers are more keen to create new sdks for it, better support, more games with it, etc. its just getting it started is the main problem

MumboJumbo · 21 Jan 2008 at 22:00

also whos going to make a game that loses a lot of content without a ppui when the majority of gamers dont have them lol.
