3 is the trick, I have no idea who still owns it. I'd need to talk to a lawyer to find out, and that would increase my game's budget by approximately infinity percent

You could always do “legally distinct 3DFX inspired” animation I guess. But that’s not as fun.

you can sort of do it if you go for the first gen wham bubble and have something spinning in it. it'll evoke something without needing to namedrop

Okay I dug into this more for fun. There were a lot of lawsuits (the last of which got resolved in 2014!!), but it sounds like Nvidia does own it. They acquired "substantially all" of 3dfx's assets, and the 3dfx company only stuck around to fulfill financial/contractual obligations

thanks. I'll have to drop by and ask them if I can use it

Did you know the old 3dfx headquarters is a church now

I was actually just talking to my roommate about that! we think it's suspicious, since the CHM is also rented out as a church. maybe there's a connection

I'm also disappointed that the 3dfx hq turned into a regular-ass church, and not Our Lady of the Rasterized Polygon
