3dfx had market dominance in 90s but then basically committed suicide.
Very true. They committed suicide when they bought STB so that they could manufacture their own video cards. They didn’t just focus on chip R&D, they needed to manufacture and market their own video cards instead of letting board partners do it.
I don’t get it. Without the fines, grocers will just continue to use misleading signage. And in this vague of boycotts, it’s important to trust where the product is coming from. They need to be hit where it hurts (money).

The Guardian is no exception when it comes to sensationalism and not presenting research findings objectively.
