If I was NVIDIA I would pay gaming companies to implement NVIDIA 3D Vision.
Take a look at World of Warcraft. When they implemented stereoscopic 3D support the sales for NVIDIA 3D Vision skyrocketed.
How many hours would it take to optimize a games code for NVIDIA 3D Vision compatibility? A week? Two weeks? You may want to offer companies a $5,000.00 or $15,000.00 bonus incentive for making their games stereoscopic 3D compatible. Someone would have to look at the numbers and see what bonus incentive figure would be appropriate. A small investment could yield a large return.
If you could get Bioware's Old Republic to be stereoscopic 3D ready with an NVIDIA 3D Vision sticker on the box your sales would skyrocket. It may be worth bribing Bioware to do so by offering them incentive bonus for going 3D. Like I said someone would have to crunch the numbers.
(Who knows maybe NVIDIA is already paying these companies to do so)

$3-$15k is nothing compared to a big budget game that costs millions.
Try something like paying 10% of the budget for producing a game. In any case, the chances that stereo would just work without being 3D Ready is much better and therefore they reap even more money (Nvidia) is a much better alternative.
The other thing you are not looking at is that Nvidia's 3D Vision is just a small piece of the pie. The gamer would still have to invest in a 120Hz monitor and compatible video card - both of which costs more than 3D Vision's kit.

Hi
For the record, we do not pay gaming companies to implement features since its not a good policy for many reasons.

Hmm, yall are right. I was just thinking out loud hehe.
What about flying out NVIDIA reps to each of the gaming companies office and demoing the 3D? If the devs like seeing their game in 3D maybe they would change their mind?
Allow me to support this idea.
I spoke with the Dragon Age Origins developer for one brief message on the social.bioware.com forum. I think it was mike laidlaw or the other lead dev. He said he never got a chance to experience Dragon Age Origins in 3D but will look into it. Of course I never heard from him again but think about it. He never experienced his own game that he made in 3D. I bet you anything if he just saw it he may of changed his mind. I'm sure NVIDIA has enough swing to secure one hour with tehse lead devs during lunch just to give them a small demo, if they seem interested just give them the glasses and emitter for free with the SDK kit all printed out or something.

This developer you spoke too at Bioware must be a noob. The Lead dev on DA2 is Andreas Papathanasis. I'm sure they get free SDKs and such for 3D. It's such a big craze today that all developers should at least see what all the madness over 3D is about.

We work with many developers around the world. The fact that on dev hasnt tried 3D I cant explain since we demonstrate at many developers.
