3dfx Pulled From Shelves
Steve Gibson
130
Well this is interesting, according to a memo sent to all BestBuy stores around the nation, NVidia has requested that all current 3dfx 3D cards be pulled from the shelves and to not be sold. Due to the sale of 3dfx to NVidia. Here's a bit of it from VoodooExtreme:

... 3dfx will discontinue techincal support after Feb. 15th. Concidering the nature of this product, we feel that continuing  to provide this product to our customers will jeopardize their satisfaction with both BBY and the product long term.

We are asking that you pull all 3dfx skus listed below off of your shelves and hold in the warehouse. ...

Also, FiringSquad has an interview with 3dfx folks.

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
