BFG Exiting Graphics Card Market

Posted by Soulskill on from the so-long-and-thanks-for-all-the-pixels dept.

thsoundman writes news that BFG appears to be giving up on the graphics card side of its business. The company's chairman said in a statement: "After eight years of providing innovative, high-quality graphics cards to the market, we regret to say that this category is no longer profitable for us, although we will continue to evaluate it going forward. We will continue to provide our award-winning power supplies and gaming systems, and are working on a few new products as well. I'd like to stress that we will continue to provide RMA support for our current graphics card warranty holders, as well as for all of our other products such as power supplies, PCs, and notebooks."

    I never knew them, but this Slashdot article is great advertising.
    Maybe they should re-think leaving the market now that we all know who they are.

    We should start a new Slashdot and return control to the geeks. It actually wouldn't be that hard to get some users to

    It's not in quake 1 at all.
    Power stops at the rocket launcher there.

    The thunderbolt might count since it runs on energy cells but yeah, Q1's weapon selection was pretty weak.

    The BFG 9000 is from Doom, the BFG 10K is from Quake 2 & 3
