I do not disagree with you, I think we are talking about the same thing - but I think that statement right there is exactly what I'm trying to describe. Why upgrade unless it serves a purpose?

Demos are starting to make a comeback thankfully!

The advice "just wait for XYZ" never changes - something better is always just around the corner. Just a matter of if it ends up being worth it. For most people, the answer is yes, it's almost always better to wait unless you are several generations behind and/or are having issues with most...

I'll just say EA has been fishing for a buyer for a long time. When you can't even get Microsoft to buy your studio... this is who you get.

I can't speak for the new AT folks, who all seem decent and I'm very glad they are here. But for the older FPS guys in the crosshairs here - I can absolutely vouch they are not fanboys of anything, other than chasing performance. And they will let you know in no uncertain terms which color...

“Get hired now to start in 6 months and work brutal hours! The pay will be horrible but we have free Keurig coffee! And there’s more; get laid off in 12 months! Welcome to the Gaming Industry!”

Wonder if it tastes like silicon

Yeah, there isn't much point in the whole Mac vs Windows thing - hardware has become a lot more agnostic. And while both camps have went in different directions, neither has went in a particularly good one. But still there's an awful lot of things that are still Windows only - I get it. I use...
