I agree with all of this. I have always championed the subscription +expansion model for mmos and pure expansion model for games like Battlefield. One of the things newer generations don't know is that back before the microtransaction craze when it was just buy the game and buy the expansions...
I settled on a 5700xt :(
I hate settling, was ready to drop on a 3070/3080 but nope couldn't land one. So then I tried for a 6800/6800xt and nothing. So I kept looking just hoping for anything, even last gen, and noticed what the OP noticed. Even 1000 series cards were being marked way up. WTH...
The real issue here is catering to an audience that will never buy the product but bitches and moans for you to make changes to it. FYI if they weren't buying it before they won't buy it after.I quit buying EA games years ago. When they decide to bring back dedicated servers, mod support, and...
Dude you need to look at what has already happened around the world in places like Portugal. NN has been holding back a wave. We got lucky last time that Wheeler listened to reason. Yes dems and repubs are both beholden to their corporate sponsors. So it is naïve to think one will come in and...
Trump has done nothing that the establishment doesn't want. It is the political face they are putting on when they are attacking him because the polls tell them it looks good when you attack him. The Dems and the republicans are ecstatic at how he is pushing the corporate agenda. Plus his...
Cable wasn't that bad at first either and then they figured out how to sell it ala carte and the cost went up tremendously with out giving more content. With Internet the ISPs didn't know how to quite do it because it was so new but now they have the tech and understanding to totally rip it a...
I'd say The Sixth Sense was his best but I liked both of those also.
Neill Blompkamp hasn't done enough to be known for anything else yet. I did like District 9 and Elysium, I never got around to watching Chappie though.
I am digging all the Oats Studios shorts so far. I hope they keep it up.
You are full of crap. If anyone was going to exploit it then they would already start doing it. NN has put a stop to it so that we aren't like Portugal and other countries that are proving what our ISPs will do with out. You are spouting a bunch of FUD with out substance. Tell us what is this...
The guy only jumped on the flat earther bandwagon because he saw them as an easy way to raise the money needed. His goal was just to launch himself into the upper atmosphere. And only became a flat earther when looking into ways to raise money. But I guess if there goals align that doesn't...
The market will not fix itself. I vote with my wallet and so do tons of others but the children are who EA and others are banking on. Kids will not vote with their wallet. Kids do not want to be the last one to have a game even if that game is filled with bugs and pay walls and micro...
The monopolies are mostly maintained by collusion. The big ISPs create borders and they do not cross them. There are streets in the same town/city where one side has one ISP and across the street is another and they use the same poles and trenches for both sides. There is a few cities that were...
