Jay is wrong, and he’s been wrong since this issue was first exposed as an EVGA problem. He’s a self-confessed EVGA fanboy who went out of his way to look for anecdotal claims that any other card was involved, and used those claims without scrutiny to try to take heat off his favourite brand.

A game can’t force your system to ignore power draw limits. This is absolutely a hardware issue. New World has been played by over a million people. Given that the peak CCU thus far has been over 800k, the game has likely been played by over 2 million people. If the game was in fact responsible for hardware failures,…

Should it? The article states that New World isn’t the cause of these hardware failures but the headline suggests that it is. That’s inconsistent and misleading, likely in order to get more clicks. “New World still bricking expensive graphics cards” is way more sensational than “New World exposes existing hardware…

I’ve been hanging on to my 1070 for ages, the last two generations of nvidia cards have been pocked with bad news, including my neighbor having a 2080 shoot a few flames after a week of use (when the 2080 was new).
Definitely feels misleading just to dump it on New World, and while this issue does pop up on this game…

Title should be “More EVGA 3090 are bricking when playing New World”. It’s a hardware defect that the game happens to unluckily trigger by the way it works. This would certainly be extremely difficult to reproduce/fix, so it’s not really surprising that New World can not fix something that is not their fault in the…

That’s every mode if you stop and think about it.

Does it have a sexual assault mode?

they’re doing exactly what any other company would do in their situation.

Who cares what’s technically illegal? Are you some kind of white knight lawyer watching out for the unjustly maligned multi-billion$ corporation?

Incorrect. Copyright does not disappear if not “defended.” Copyright is automatic. You’re thinking of a trademark.

That would make sense, except the world is filled counter examples to your claim. Can I enter a race with an “unofficial” modification of a car? Yep, sure can! How about enter a golf tournament with an unofficial set of modified Nike clubs? Have at it! Create an event exclusively featuring custom Rock ’Em Sock ’Em…

In case you didn’t need anymore proof that software copyright is completely busted!

Project+ is not an official Nintendo made product and promoting it to the public, such as in a tournament, falsely makes it seem like a Nintendo product.

I think the act of implicitly sanctioning the use of a modded game for some organization-backed event is sticking in their craw. Big software corps tend to treat mods as “IP theft” because they involve tampering with the protected code and then leveraging the old version as part of the separate product of the new…

Oh shit, modding a game is illegal now?! Like, against THE LAW? The creators of Team Fortress and DOTA and many others are in some serious trouble then, I guess?

Hello, welcome to the comment section, my name is PixelAviStupidName, and I love the taste of corporate boot leather. Saved you the time, you can stop scrolling now.

That’s...not exactly how that works though. Does the community need to fix itself yes? But they can’t just not run the tournaments. Those things aren’t cheap and even losing 1 year is enough to force these kinds of things stop permanently.

So unless these tournaments are actually run by the people who should be on a…

It’s just Nintendo’s legal team acting like they literally always have. Applesque levels of locked ecosystem and software control. Creepy shit. 

Nah, pretty much everyone took the “we’ll wait, deliver it when it’s finished” perspective.  Those champing at the bit were few and far between.  

Cyberpunk 2077 for PC is and was one of the best GTA-likes ever made.
