    The More You Buy, the More You Enjoy, as Ubisoft Claims That Microtransactions Allow Players to Have More Fun

    What Ubisoft is truly good at is failing to connect the dots. It's not that people enjoy microtransactions. They are simply willing to spend more on games they like. If a game is bad, microtransactions do not make it more fun. If anything, you will be less likely to spend anything on a game that...

    The More You Buy, the More You Enjoy, as Ubisoft Claims That Microtransactions Allow Players to Have More Fun

    It's not a surprise that a company that's literally floundering with one flop after another over the last two years thinks that.

    ASRock B850 LiveMixer WiFi Motherboard Review

    Well the point is that there are boards out there with stupid amounts of ports. But yes, that extra connectivity usually comes at higher price points.

    Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.3 Arrives, Bringing New Vehicles & Quests, AutoDrive & Taxi Services, Photo Mode Features, Support for Mac Users, and More

    I haven't had issues like that since the very early days of the game. Even then, I don't really recall that kind of thing happening a lot if ever.

    Wait until some idiot activates this by accident.

    Reusing an old AMD motherboard (X370)

    Sometimes, but this is rare. It's usually denoted on the page when this is the case.

    From Cancelled Games to Closed Studios, There’s a Trail of Carnage in the Wake of Microsoft’s Layoffs

    It's been a blood bath in the entire gaming industry over the last two years. It's not surprising Microsoft is reacting this way. The more surprising bit is that they waited so long to do so. The problem is that publishers are expecting 2020 revenue streams for games with 2016 politics shoe...

    Mouse recommendations without the bloatware

    You know you can usually set things up how you like, save to the local memory on the mouse and then uninstall the software if you like? I'm running a G502X and I don't have the software installed at all.

    Post your rig!

    The monitor has a built-in KVM functionality. Oh, and the wired network is actually 10GbE. I've got a Brocade ICX7250 switch with the required 10GbE license and 10GbE SFPs. I ran CAT6e cable throughout the house. Every room has two jacks except my office which has three.

    Single-Player Gaming Is Back as DOOM: The Dark Ages Hits a Major Milestone to Become Id Software’s Biggest Launch Ever

    I think that's fair. I think its a decent enough game but its not worth the current price.

    Antec c8 wood case

    These wood accent cases are giving me flashbacks to 1970's Atari consoles, faux wood tape holders and console TV's.

    Single-Player Gaming Is Back as DOOM: The Dark Ages Hits a Major Milestone to Become Id Software’s Biggest Launch Ever

    This is 100% PR spin. Player engagement numbers are being used to cover up poor sales and mislead people into thinking the game is a huge success. The fact is, it isn't. I know people are going to talk about Game Pass cutting into sales and I absolutely agree that it does. However, successful...

    Bungie Is Working on Removing Artwork from Marathon After a Former Employee Plagiarized Content

    Bungie has been run by clowns for years now. I could give people a run down of a lot of the shady crap they pulled with Destiny 2, but that would make for a very long post. It would be easier for them to pay the artist for their work rather than scramble to remove everything connected with them...

    Star Wars Zero Company Is a Turn-Based Tactical Game Set During the Clone Wars, Coming from EA in 2026

    I'm not a fan of turn based stuff but I'm glad to see something done with the IP other than the types of games we've been getting.

    Details Have Emerged About the Canceled Wonder Woman Game from It Starting as a “Showpiece Epic” to Becoming a God of War Clone

    I don't think it requires hindsight entirely. Even long running studios with a good track record have been absolutely screwing the pooch on releases for the last several years. The gaming industry as a whole has a problem thanks to its hiring practices and the inclusion of consultancy grifters...

    Newegg Shuffle Program Returns as NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs and Newly Launched RTX 5070 Ti Sell Out in Record Time: “Unprecedented Demand”

    It's a sad state of affairs that we have to beg for the opportunity to be customers of NVIDIA and buy their $2,000 GPUs. This is what happens when other companies fail to compete.
