>Nvidia have experience working with game developers - less so with players
True to an extent, but people with gaming as a hobby have been using Nvidia or Radeon products for a long time, and there's a certain level of trust regarding Nvidia and gaming.
GeForce as a gaming card brand has now existed for longer than a third of all gamers have been alive for now (and that's for those who don't remember Riva TNT).
Back when computers didn't come with graphics accelerators, you surely knew who made your graphics chip if you wanted to play games.
So a company like Nvidia would exist from interacting directly with the gamers (who would build their PCs and buy graphics cards).
