  1. Digital Illusions by Trracer · · Score: 1 · on Dice Buys Geeknet's Media Business, Including Slashdot, In $20M Deal

    My first thought was "What does Digital Illusions CE ( http://www.dice.se/ of Battlefield 3 fame) want with slashdot?".

  2. Re:those are console engines by dstyle5 · · Score: 1 · on How the PC Is Making Consoles Look Out of Date

    According to DICE the PC is the lead platform for Battlefield 3, the first game to utilize Frostbite 2.0. Frostbite 2 was rewritten from the ground up for PC/PS3/360 so I can't see how it could considered a console engine, especially since it supports only DX10/11 and both 32/64 bit processors.

    Check out "DirectX 11 Rendering in Battlefield 3" on DICE's publication page for some interesting info about their use of DX11 in FB2.0. http://publications.dice.se/

    And in these days of ever increasing surveillance, a desire for freedom of privacy (the main focus of Piratpartiet) is 6-year old reasoning of course...
    Maybe I should add a 'lol' or something to lend credence to my post...

    Digital Illusions, as in the creators of the Battlefield series? They're Swedish.

  6. What are the benefits? by LordZardoz · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Bioware/Pandemic To Go Public

    As near as I know, the only reason to take a company public is for the owners of that company to make money by selling part or all of their stake in that company.

    I can see plenty of downsides. It opens them up to potential takeover by a publisher if they fail to hold onto more then 50% of their shares. It makes them answerable to shareholders, which may curtail creativity in favor of cutting a profit. But how does Bioware / Pandemic benefit as a company from this move?

    As a side note, Bioware / Pandemic are not the first pure developer to become publicly traded. Digital Illusions is also a publicly traded company, and have been for some time.

    Exactly, the Digital Illusions (site down?) pinball games (Dreams, Illusions, Fantasies...) simply rocked (for being computerized pinball games that is)!
