Futuremark Withdraws
Tero Sarkkinen, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Futuremark, has posted an apology and withdrawal of his statements in our forums, after yesterday threatening legal action against HardOCP for posting our opinions about Futuremark's 3DMark benchmarks. You can find the full post here.
Please accept my sincererest[sic] apologies for myself reacting the way I did yesterday morning and for sending those emails to Kyle that he posted on the news page. I would like to hereby let everyone know that I am withdrawing all of that. Also, I feel that I owe everyone an explanation of why it happened.

Kind of shitty to make them public really and i can perfectly understand his reaction , if you spent a lot of time programming something and someone then just posted on a popular web site your product is shit , and offered little and no reasons behidn thier argument it woudl cause annoyance.

It's kind of funny - I saw the posts of the apology, the posts with the emails, but I did not see the post of the comments that spurred the emails.. Hmmm... Doesn't [H] have a news archive?

Ouch, it's gotta hurt when the legal team says you haven't got a leg to stand on which probably happened. [H] likes to stirr, that's upto them, but sites that popular should also have some respect for the community they serve, bad mouthing Futuremark does nothing to contribute to the community. Futuremark has brought a lot to benchmarking and 3D developments. I'm not a great fan of benchmarking, it doesn't float my boat. But I still know that FM is a leader in it's technology and deserves respect.
