        @basisspace person who you are quoting from was just completely full of unsubstantiated bullshit. Thanks, Forbes. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2014/05/26/why-watch-dogs-is-bad-news-for-amd-users-and-potentially-the-entire-pc-gaming-ecosystem/ … 2/2

        @basisspace These articles come from the same people who get mad when you suggest that they get paid for reviews. I wouldn’t think about it.

        @flibitijibibo the problem I have is that it's on forbes, and it already has 85K hits. And people believe them. :(

        @basisspace @flibitijibibo To be fair, it’s a “Forbes contributor” and not a staffed Forbes writer, so there’s AFAIK no Forbes moderation.

        @killyourfm Not more than I already have, but you should consider getting an official comment from @nvidia.

        @basisspace My last few attempts to get an official comment on smaller issues have been ignored or condescending, but I'll try.

        @killyourfm @ExtremeTech @Raton_Laveur the fact that AMD doesn't get source code doesn't preclude the ability to analyze and optimize. 1/

        @basisspace So you admit nVidia gets source but AMD can't? Rather disingenuous to downplay the massive advantage of having access to source.

        @sexconker GPUs are not CPUs, and seeing someone's source code does not really help for optimizing GPU workloads.

        @basisspace So they should just give away the hours of work and money they spent developing tech? This isn't an open standard like MIDI
