You know, maybe I just wasn't paying attention, but I can't remember a single time when a game developer said "because NVIDIA never told us to". It must be because Derek Perez paid them off and told them to use phony excuses like "we didn't feel it was worthwhile", or "it would have raised our minimum system requirements too high".
But wait, doesn't the Radeon support compressed textures? Why isn't it ATi's fault? Maybe ATi is paying you to accuse NVIDIA so it takes the heat off of them... yeah, I think that's it. ATi is the real power in the industry, and they screwed up and forgot to tell developers to use high res compressed textures, and now they hired you to make it seem like it was all NVIDIA's fault.
Of course, you can't trust my opinion, because Raven Software is paying me to keep up the ruse that they're controlled by the hardware companies. They don't want anyone to find out that they have brains of their own.
