The alert folks at
CS-Nation
noticed something noted in
a
recent review of the ECS AG400 SiS Xabre 400 video card (at the bottom of
the page) where it's revealed that the drivers offered with this card feature
the return of the dreaded see-through walls feature that basically offers ample
opportunity for cheating in games. You may recall that ASUS got themselves in
hot water with their own similar cheat-enabled drivers (
story)
which they subsequently retracted after gamers expressed their outrage (
story). To add a rare editorial comment: We don't see any good reason for adding such
features other than to gain market share they would not be able to earn based on
their product's more legitimate strengths, and wholeheartedly throw our support
behind this
Remove The ECS Cheating Drivers Petition
as well as any other reasonable efforts we hear of to show ECS the error in doing something based on their own perceived self interest that is
so clearly detrimental to the interests of gamers and the gaming community.
