No, LoBiSoMeM,

what you don't seem to understand is that especially the BIS situation speaks in favor of my point of view!
BIS proves is that game-devs can use the freetrack.dll, and as BIS is really not the biggest company with the the best selling games, the bigger and even more successful companies should have even less restrictions to use this dll!
Yet, they don't!
You might speculate as much as you want about the influences from NP, as long as you can't prove it, thats just opinions. Nothing more and nothing less.
When you see the poll i mentioned, that means they offend less than 10% of their possible customers.

Craps. The “infringement” argument is pure fallacy. There is no copyright infringement. Freetrack can use the TrackIR interface because it falls under the “Fair Use” clause of the Copyright Act. The usage is "non-commercial". It is that simple.

P.S. I wasn’t here.

I suppose you support the new world order as well. Really, what a stretch. LOL.

@ Blaster...

The New Secular Order? get your little dictionary out and look up the test, perhaps?

@ Lobi...

You've been shown many times reasons for why not, and you've also never explained "the what".
Have you made a presentation to any developers yet?

Per the little book, the “3-point test” you mention is not a part of the U.S. Copyright Act. You are welcome to point to an instance where the WTO ruled that section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act was deemed invalid by this WTO “3-point test” and the U.S. government, ignoring its own laws on the books, actually enforced such a decision by the WTO within U.S. borders. I think you will be googling a very long time. By the time you find it, we will all be a part of the New World Order and Natural Point corporate headquarters will be re-located to the North Pole with Santa Claus and his Elves.

I suppose it would have to be the north pole, considering you've taken all the space at the bottom of the garden.

At least you stop taking this crap about "hack".

If any game-dev can use Freetrack Interface, what's about this?

You write this:

"Yet, they don't!"

Why? You can't "speculate" a thing? I go further: they don't and they can't do a lot of things...

And if you think that 10% is little... Well, maybe some companies like to keep all customers they can, and "please" Freetrack users is really an easy task!

Of course, if a game company don't receive some cash from NP.

By the way, maybe you don't think that BIS is a big software company and don't sell a lot, but in HT marketing I can assure that ArmAII and O:A creates a new market to this kind of thing, and Freetrack suport by BIS is really a landmark.

If BIS can, all that don't have ant contract of exclusivity with NP can. And give Freetrack suport in IL-2:CoD is easy, as for a lot of HT solutions. This is the point: why don't suport these multiple solutions and TALK about the subject?

This "you can't prove" is poor... I'm trying to understand WHY game-devs do what they do, and can't find a logical reason besides NP influence. If anybody from 1C can speak...

But they can't... Why? Strange, isn't?
