LOL! Not a chance.
Give someone a shadowing engine .. and they'll immediately
add 20 light sources to their game, move to a client/server
multiplayer model, and get their artists to render images
in 10 times more detail.
So what if the card can draw shadows in zero time?
I mean, there has to be some way to obsolete my
game box as fast as possible...
