Thanks for that very informative post! It makes sense that they’d focus on the latest technologies.

They can work on driver compatibility.

I have a GTX 1070. I’ve been waiting for the 40 series to launch so I can get a cheap 30 series. It’d still be a huge upgrade for me.

Are Intel’s GPU’s really worth it? I haven’t been following that closely, but my understanding was that the reviews weren’t all that good..

They’re actually likely rebranding it because they launched it as a 4080 despite its weak specs compared to the more powerful 4080. They’ll probably put it out as a 4070 soon.

The obvious answer is the absolutely massive opportunity to disrupt the ground freight market. Truck drivers are becoming increasingly expensive. I believe you can make over $100K/yr driving for Wal-Mart.

UPDATE 12:50am, Monday October 10: A spokesperson for Lenovo, whose booth the incidents took place at, tells Kotaku:

Bravo on the headline!

The video game industry has a looooong history of doing exactly that.

It’s not like it’s that regular of an occurrence to open a PC and disconnect/reconnect the GPU power cable, but 30 times? WTF?

Have you guys covered Blizz backtracking the phone number requirement? I’m not sure the extent of it, but I think at least older accounts (before some date, I’m too lazy to google it) will be grandfathered in..

Take that, Peggy Hill haters!

The Horizon series must be selling really well. I just finished Zero Dawn’s main game on PC, and it was great. I’ll be going back for the Frozen Wilds expansion at some point.

I’ll add that this super sucks for third party studios that were probably pretty much being lied to up until the announcement dropped, but . . . uh, the writing was on the wall.

He’s also one of my favorite characters, and probably my favorite tank. I hope he’s worthwhile in OW2.

Next gen will be the XBox Series ONE!!!!11!!!

Is that in their defense, though? xD

That game existed well before electronic video.

My understanding is that with the shift to a one-tank team structure, they’ve also made tanks more of a ‘brawler’ type role, so damage absorption is still important, but there’s more opportunity to throw down a lot of damage.
