Head Tracking with Cliffs of Dover

[Stipe]

Why game developers include track ir support and not others? Because of NP aggressive marketing and advertising. NP is like Justin Bieber. You can't take a piss and not hear about them. Who should do the marketing for freetrack or xxxxxtrack and approach the developer if those are free, open community projects? They are not a company nor they need to sell anything.
Developers already know about freetrack and other alternatives and it's up to their good mood to include them if you will.

and all that is supposed to mean what exactly, hmmm?

[Wolf_Rider]

I'll answer your (the question asked in plain english) after my already asked questions are answered... are you willing to answer mine?

We can speculate some more. Since they don’t respond, maybe 1C could really care less if the TrackIR interface portion of the game gets “hacked”. It’s probably no skin off their nose. They still sell the game to so called NP “hacker” and get the revenue. Maybe 1C will actually provide, surreptitiously, the “hack” to the NP code in CoD, as they would have the inside track on how it works. Maybe Freetrack was created by 1C to sell more games? Oh my. No, I don’t expect we will get an answer from 1C. But I do know we will get an answer from he who does not exist, whether we like it or not.

so you admit now that FT is a hack?

so you are asking a developer to ignore an NDA... an NDA in the same vein as the developer asks of it beta testers?

whatever it is you're on, please don't share it... it is doing some serious damage to your head

its a moot point and casuist (as soon as his point was countered, he changed it, and no reply about gameport being abandoned... so have, for the most part, floppy drives and AGP)

spec•u•late
verb \ˈspe-kyə-ˌlāt\
intransitive verb
1
a : to meditate on or ponder a subject : reflect b : to review something idly or casually and often inconclusively

Examples: I speculate that W-R has no arms and legs, and hence has develop an unnatural affinity to his TrackIR. I speculate that W-R probably works for NP. I speculate that W-R gets paid by the word for his postings.


I see I have run out of time.

[Wolf_Rider]

its obvious then, you have also "speculated" on FT being the way go

also, Blaster, when it comes to insulting people, do you really think that that approach will help your cause? Who do you think it would hurt the most, you or your target?


now, where did Stipe get to?

I'm still waiting. You have my response on the previous page.
