Hardware enthusiast site TweakTown has revealed that Nvidia threatened MSI with cutting its GPU allocation if it continued to provide samples to the publication.
TweakTown's editor, Cameron Wilmot, speaks in detail of the tumultuous relationship Nvidia made sure it had with the website. TweakTown would have to fight tooth and nail to get access to review samples - despite the company's PR working very amicably with other media - and later simply stopped inviting the staff to events.
Apparently someone at Nvidia was furiously flinging accusations of TweakTown breaking Non Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) but Wilmot denies this has ever happened, and even that, if it is made aware of an NDA through an Nvidia partner, honours them. When Nvidia blacklisted TweakTown, the website would just buy its own copies.
MSI, allegedly thanks to Nvidia's bullying, felt forced to cut off TweakTown. "It baffled us to receive the email from them," Wilmot said, although they have now come to an agreement.
"This is ultimately how Nvidia treats its partners, like s**t," Wilmot continued. "It's these strong arm tactics by Nvidia that make us incredibly mad. We understand that Nvidia needs to protect its products, but MSI didn't do anything wrong - yet this is how they and other partners are treated". Wilmot said he could reveal much, much more.
Nvidia, Wilmot said, also blocked an Nvidia GPU partner from releasing a new video card cooler because it was "much better" than the company's own reference design.

The "left" being one's emotional, it is catergorised as being inactive [which it is not because it is all activity in the spiritual/materially-infinite/hearted sense] whereas one's "right" is of physical and intellectual [the commonly accepted "mental"] activity and since most humans are of FF&I, the "right" is therefore everything there is to the Blind-Blinded of The Spiritual. The problem/joke then is that the more physical or "mental" activity we indulge in, the more byproduct of those processes are generated with this oozing mass of "yellowness" being then binned onto the top of the left brain lobe to spiritually weighed down the individual as The Ego. Regardless of what "Science", Religion & Religiosity and The Righting This & That Greeny-Loonies may think or believe in, the more physical and mental activity a human indulges in, the more egotistical he becomes. 101%, the extra 1% being for "insurance" purposes for those who'll uncover this reality when it is too late. And it is always too late when it comes to FF&I, of course.
When a human is egotisitcal leading to, for example, said headlined reportage, that is the sign that he is/had-been too "right-sided". But then, all right-handed types are too right-sided [in their established/entrenched psyche]. The [Fiery] Ego, which is coloured Red-Yellow, which happens to be the leading colours of differentiated white light, is "moderated"/"presided-upon" by The Buddha whose motto is, "Do not harm others/another", the duty of The Ego being Of Aggression/To Harm Another. As such, The Ego is the result of being too complex, oka The Abortion of Stupidity.
And that is what The Ego is/does best, to harm another. A true vexation to the spirit of others. Should The Spiritual be materially visible, most humans are actually walking with a tilt to the left or to the right with some bending as if they are about to fall over towards their bias - had it serendipitious not been corrected by the crossing-over of the brain lobes. Just like a tree on its way to becoming another prop of Nature. If true, would it a good comedy sketch then or would truly looking into the mirror be then a viable option. Makes you 'fink, ain't it. Without realising one's true infrastructure, one is merely the blind-blinded claiming hindsight, insight and foresight. And this is exactly what The Bookie wants His victims to be[come], illusion-delusioned that they are "chosen", privileged, special, talented and entitled when they are actually going deeper into their devolutionary dungeon waiting for the moment when being slaughterd is but a mere ant-bite in comparison. Funny should it not be true/sad.
