No, zobaczymy, mam nadzieję że okaże się, że tym razem oferują coś więcej niż kolejny zestaw predefiniowanych efektów do podczepiania pod gry. Jeśli nie to niech się pocałują - kilka lat temu wykupili razem ze wszystkimi patentami Aureala i jak narazie, w żaden sposób nie wykorzystali technoligii z chipu Vortex... (choć "Environment Reflections" wygląda interesująco - jak działa w praktyce przkekonamy się pewnie dopiero po premierze)
Ehh, przydałaby się teraz jakaś młoda firma z nowym produktem, która wykorzystałaby nieciekawą finansową pozycję konkurenta i wykopała unCreative z rynku raz na zawsze...
Kacperczak --> wiekszość informacji podałem jakiś czas temu (2-3 miesiące) natomiast ta informacja miala na celu poinformowanie o dacie sprzedaży.
aha, jak tak to OKi :)
