The return of 3dfx was false: a troll account impersonated the mythical GPU manufacturer

In 3DJuegos we did not give the news of his supposed “return” due to the lack of veracity of the information.

If you have read these days on the networks that 3dfx Interactive was back , bad news. The return of the mythical manufacturer of graphics cards and chips was false: it was a troll account on Twitter impersonating the brand for uncertain reasons (probably for fun, but it is still not clear), which has disappeared from Twitter after confirming the pantomime.

Whoever was responsible for the joke has already deleted the 3dfx Interactive Twitter account, but not before clarifying in a final message that the account was false and all the information was fabricated, as shared on DSOGaming. In fact, before its closure, this fake 3dfx account published a press release to try to give the whole story true, but so full of errors and errors that it was impossible to take it as real.

At its birth a few days ago, this new 3dfx claimed to be born under the protection of the Jansen Products investment fund , which does not exist , and its objective was to launch new GPUs and chips for televisions, smartwatches, mobiles, etc … as soon as this winter . Something impossible given that no one – absolutely no one – had heard anything about it from the usual production hubs, such as China.

Curiously, this fake 3dfx account was born just a few days after Interplay’s return to developments was denied , news that also came as a result of a fake Twitter account that impersonated the mythical company. It seems that there is someone with a lot of free time and very few games to play in August, so we will see if he tries a third time with some other company from the past.
