The Last Days at 3dfx

sand writes "FiringSquad has a detailed account of what happened in the final days at 3dfx. Every 3dfx product that was released or upcoming is discussed by a former 3dfx employee with inside knowledge on what caused the product delays (including an employee who forgot to fly to Asia to pickup the first Voodoo5 chips). He also discusses money mismanagement and the STB merger. It's a very enlightening article for anyone who's interested in 3D graphics and what goes on inside these companies."

Why did they pick such a name?

They might have been great engineers at 3dfx, but I as well as many other people would not simply buy a card named after pagan worshop with some satanic elements and put it my computer in my bedroom.

As well, I would not support company, which thinks that "voodoo" is really a cool name for their product. When they became Linux supported 3dfx card, I decided to keep 2D Matrox Millenium for a looong time.
