last gen were always on back order here. Prices didnt inflate, they just never dropped even when the new gen arrived. Which is somewhat weird but I do see some stores still in stock.
 
Mass Effect 4 confirmed, Keeping my expectations exceptionally low considering the subpar steaming garbage that was Andromeda.

I snoozed through most of TGA last night, only announcement that really stood out was Perfect Dark and even then my expectations are low with how Zero turned out.
 
Hardware Unboxed here in Australia are being denied Nvidia Founders edition cards for review as they focused on Rasterization instead of Ray Tracing!

Nvidia being a total pack of ratbags if you ask me, I could say worse but it deletes it :)


Yeah it's disgusting behaviour from Nvidia, this is not the way to handle the independent press/media outlets.


The rant from Linus was just so good on his Wan show.
 
They emailed hardware unboxed back earlier and said sorry for sending him that email, but tbh i think the damage is kinda done to a point in peoples eyes, but i guess they are going to send him hardware still now.

As much as I wholeheartedly believe in forgiveness and giving the benefit of the doubt, it's harder to forgive a prepared statement that is so blatantly aggressive, condescending, and destructive. Everybody is saying, the only reason it was redacted is because they got caught. I don't see how we could say that for sure, but it certainly looks that way. The same applies to the 3.5GB of VRAM. The letter read like it was penned by a functioning psychopath, kinda like a Patrick Bateman of the silicon world. It makes me more committed to never supporting their company again. These are repeated acts of anti-social, anti-competitive behaviour. I sometimes feel sorry for the engineers who do amazing things there who have to work for these people.

Yep it's pretty bad alright, idk what they expected tbh

As for the 3.5gb vram on the 970's they are out of my system now enjoying the rewards of 16gb vram on the new 6800XT, omg does cyberpunk look amazing on ultra such a sweet card it's butter smooth and is so quiet, highly recommend not had a single issue with the game :D
 
Worst possible outcome i feel, mainly for people that enjoy steering wheel and peddles cause EA have been very lackluster on that front.

It's sad to say but a lot of people in charge at these places are genuinely psycho, I remember talking to someone once that worked at Goldman Sachs as my cousin used to work for them, Briefly I might add, Was at a dinner party type thing, It was honestly like communicating with someone totally disconnected from the real world, It was a jarring experience and any position that gives power over people no matter the industry, Gaming, Finance etc... is generally occupied by the certifiably loopy as they will do anything to get the position that gives them power over others or to be able to exert power.

EA outbid Take Two to acquire Codemasters by about $400 million.

Goodbye Codemasters, Going to get made into a micro transaction game pusher.
