Yeah for sure. Those games have absolutely amazing music and it’s apparently a big well known orchestra too. They have been in my city throughout the years but I always managed to find out too late, not this time.

End of this year there will also be one of Witcher. It’s kind of a must for me, but that one is pricey though.

Incredibly shit times ahead on the HW scene, and i’m always the one who think the people overreacts to stuff like this but oof…

Did read somewhere the big tech companies are spending over 600 billion on AI just this year, so a big part of that or most is going to GPU/RAM, crazy number, i know this example doesn’t make that much sense but just to put it in perspective, it’d be like buying over a billion Xbox/PS5 in a year.

Yeah we’re not getting shit left on the gaming scene but some of the old HW that the giants don’t want to use on their datacenters anymore.

I hope developers are focusing hard on optimizing their games for the 3000 series and so because there’s going to be very few people upgrading in the next couple years or longer

Yeah, I upgraded both of our PCs GPUs before Christmas and right now I’m upgrading my wife’s PC with an LGA 1700 CPU because they still support DDR4 which means I can use why I already have and don’t have to buy more RAM, saving me several hundreds of dollars.

I think we’re good to wait out the storm for the time being, but I don’t want to imagine someone coming in and needing to buy something from scratch. And the manufacturers of PC parts who will be selling less because demand with crater with high prices.

The whole gaming industry could potentially suffer due to those higher price if we’re honest here, with slower growth for the next 3 years until it all stabilizes.

Sumo is doing layoffs. Always sucks to hear, specially after the recent report of just how many people haven’t found work within the gaming industry.

Great, but whoops.

Agreed. Once again, the industry is really challenging.

Still hard to believe he’s gone.

Not sure if many here are the target audience (as most of us have Game Pass, and many don’t have PCs) but Doom: The Dark Ages is ridiculously cheap on Steam at the moment, less than half the price of CDKeys/Loaded even.

Guessing it’s for ID’s anniversary…

So Sony’s new updated PS5 numbers is 92.2 million, so the 90 million number from Take2 could be accurate.

I do believe they are right in numbers or at least in estimate compare to everyone here.

I wonder if Switch 2 is close to hitting “limitation.” Lucky for them, Capcom has the engine that gels well with them.

Valheim is coming to Switch 2. I haven’t played it but has it always looked like that? If not, they must have done plenty of compromise to make it playable.

I always thought that Xbox and Sony give out the accurate numbers of how many consoles are active to their partners. To reassure them that they’re user base is healthy and worth investing in.

I agree with this!! Hey Xbox ain’t stuck at less 28 million consoles sold!!

The most recent 28 million or less number was from Kleper2, and it was debunked by people who track/estimate those numbers as being closer to 30 to 33 million. But as estimates they’re likely still lower than what was sold.

As for my comment, that’s just my opinion since it sort of makes sense to me.
