It's only been six months?

It’s an easy fix though; slow the process down. If you want to order the product day one, the price is 30% higher and comes with a mail-in rebate that needs to be claimed (unique address required). After the first 30 days, the price drops and all the cards ship out at the same time. Market is flooded, scalpers can’t…

If only they had some sort of tracking item, like an address or credit card that they could use to stop an individual from buying 10 at a time....

I know right, like WTF? This is my fault because I want a new graphics card? I feel like you have a bot. Let me guess, next article, you know where to get one? Eat my ass.

Easy way to stop it. One unit per account/address/credit card/. Your pending order goes into a pool at the end of the day. Randomly selected orders filled with number of units available. Sent checkout link with 24 hours to complete or cancel checkout. If unsold it goes back in the pool for next day until all units are…

in the sneaker world, antibot measures are being put in place. checkpoints, queues, captchas (MUTLTIPLE captchas), the latest thing is adding a question to the product page that you have to fill out before you can add to cart (could be a lesser known fact related the the product, could be “what colour is an orange”,…

Well, luckily it seems like bots maybe weren’t a major issue with the PS5 pre-order thing. I think the bulk of PS5 pre-orders were legit. Actually credit Sony’s disorganization for that. The fact that we had no idea when pre orders were starting and then retailers jumping the gun didn’t give scalpers enough time to…

The only real way to prevent this from continuing to happen is to have laws put in place to make this practice illegal. Because it is illegal for ticket sales but not for merchandise. 

Exactly this. Don’t get on your hypocritical high horse and preach about FOMO. That’s the not the problem. The problem is the damn bots. Customers just wanting to buy a new product shouldn’t have to be competing with bots.  

I responsibly saved up enough money over the last year to buy BOTH consoles and honestly... its nice to be worried about dumb consoles for a change instead of EVERYTHING else in 2020.

You should totally play FF7R though. It’s literally the best game Square Enix has ever made, all categories.

I would think from a studio/developer perspective this is a bad time to release games. You have tons of people who have not upgraded to the new hardware and are not going to buy your game because of it. Development of the game is stressful because if they make any changes to the specs of the consoles you might need to…

No one ever wants to talk about the PS2 launch lineup, which was straight up ABYSMAL. 

The fact that there is a huge Ryse fandom out there blows my mind every time I stumble across them.

It also means Microsoft straight up LIED when they wrote, in one of their trailers, that Xbox SEX/S had “the best lineup” ever. But that’s hardly a surprise because when it comes to Xbox, Microsoft likes to lie at every corner.

Fuuuuuuzion Freeeeeeeeenzzzzzzyyyyyyy!

Part of the reason Wii sold so well was launching with a Zelda. Compare that to Gamecube launch.

How dare you shit on the rich and vibrant Ryse: Son of Rome fandom.

Do you have a link?  Because the article states the Amazon page is a placeholder landing page and other than rolling the dice with an eBay "pre-order" (which is basically "I'll do my best to be first in line on release day") pre-orders haven't actually been opened up yet.
