Kyle lays it on the line

Kyle again manages to dodge giving any answer to the question that was actually asked - other than "because I say so".

I tell you, it's like listening to a politician dodge questions... lots of words, but no real meaning... It's pretty ironic Kyle talks about growth and maturity, as nothing has changed at [H]. The mindset is still the same.

 

Eloquently said and I agree 100%. Kyle is only fooling himself if he thinks NVIDIA cares about his opinion in ANY technical context. He is being used by them for PR purposes only.

The facts of th matter are that he has done exactly that. Express his opinion and critisim, one shared by many to include those here, in an attempt to make Nvidia aware. While it may "appear" to be very little, it appears more then enough to others.

 

No what he has done is help Nvidia commit consumer fraud. Plain and simple, he can dodge all the questions possible and give lawyer like non descript answers but the plain truth is he has helped Nvidia get away with cheating their customers and oem's out of money that would have spent elsewhere had Nvidia not artifically pumped up there numbers in every benhcmark known to man.

 

But not publicly to the readership of his site for the last year, all the while telling us how Nvidia's cards are as good as ATI cards, when they are nothing of the sort.

In my opinion, Kyle and his staff misled those readers who took him at his word of being an impartial and objective journalist who could be trusted. Kyle kept quiet about serious issues in order to promote his "special friendship" with Nvidia, all to the detriment of his reponsibility and trust to his readership.

This is also a criticism shared by many, including those here.

If you hate these threads as much as you say you do, then why are you still responding to them? Do you have some kind of compulsion to defend Kyle... :?

 

Blackwind has 70 posts here. 99% of them are related to discussing Kyle.
I made a comment to Blackwind on the [H] forums that was a little snyde....Kyle edited it immediately.
Can you say 'pet'?

 

Yes, but I'd probably get me wrists slapped if I did...

 

Yes!

Clearly Kyle will not jeopardize his "special friendship" with nVidia under any circumstance. His unwillingness to publically criticize nVidia when he discovers unethical practices only hurts his credibility.

It’s funny to see an nV news moderator question Kyle’s ethics on [H] forums. It just illustrates how black and white this situation is. If nVidia want to gain back some of their credibility, they need to openly and frankly discuss these issues with their biggest critics.

 

I try to be Dave's pet. Unfortunately he isn't online much.

 

Now, now.

However, it did seem as though, from some of his UT2003 comments on the relationship between NVIDIA and Epic, that Kyle had been talking to him. Of course neither he nor Kyle knew that we solicited the responce from Epic after NVIDIA had told them that they had sought approaval for the UT2003 'optimisations'.

 

Whoops... are you supposed to say/reveal this, Dave? Or is this already public knowledge (i.e. maybe I missed this?) ?

 

And more importantly, what is Epic response?

 

What response from Epic, I'm getting all confused again.

BTW-Kyle closed the thread again since it had "gotten all redundant". It's weird how that happens whenever people start to actualy corner him on issues and things...

EDITED BITS: I keep getting more confused reading your post Dave, who did nVidia seek approval of the UT2k3 'optimizations' from?

 

He so reminds of of Leslie Neilson, move along people nothing to see here, nothing to see here. The only satisfactiobn is he cannot be so completely oblivious to not know how stupid he sounds avoiding every question are telling people to read his post again or instead of answering anything providing a link to an old post. He knows how he looks but seems to think if he acts this way all the time people will buy it.

 

I believe he is referring to the last cryptic message he gave.
