While I agree with you wrt consoles locking people in, my parents are hobby console collectors and that got passed down to me. I buy whatever comes out and sell as needed. But is it getting less fun to collect with the current gen, I’m not gonna lie. Games don’t even come on discs anymore, so a physical collection is starting to become useless.
For anyone curious: I don’t scalp/resell btw, MSRP + shipping as needed, this is a hobby not a side hustle for me.


I’m still running a 2080Ti so I’m doing ok, but it it definitely starting to show it’s age. I somehow ended up with an Intel low profile GPU from my local tech store (I couldn’t even tell you the model) for like $65USD and it had display port so I decided to plug my monitors into it, and it helped my primary GPU performance more than I expected. Maybe something to look into? Assuming your mobo and CPU can handle 2 GPUs ofc


I know Lara has never been flat. But I honestly wouldn’t put it past the “Feminine characters are sexist and wrong” modern gaming land scape to fuck that up
This has not been a trend in gaming for years, if ever. This was just Twitter outrage you fell for. Stellar Blade was literally topping the Steam charts a few months ago.
Yeah, this I believe. I saw the news that they sold one of their studios back to the original owners while still publishing the game they were developing. I must have missed the news about them downsizing their in-house stuff.
I looked up what studios they would be acquiring under the WB merger and uh…outside of the new Mortal Kombat, Hogwarts Legacy, and the DC games…I don’t really know if they’re going to make a big dent in the gaming sphere immediately. A lot of these already look pretty mismanaged, maybe it could get worse, but it could also get better.
But if we’re worried about moving towards even more subscription-based cloud gaming…yeah…looking at the state of gaming and hardware right now, I can’t argue with you there.
Hasn’t Netflix been “in gaming” a while? You can access a lot of games on mobile from them. I opened my Netflix Android app and just from the suggested I can play Red Dead Redemption, Story Teller, Dead Cells, Spirit Fairer, Shredder’s Revenge, Street Fighter, and bunch of Choose your own Adventure type stuff from their own IPs. They’ve been angling in to game publishing for a while.
You misunderstood: current gen isn’t getting price drops while previous gen usually did. Current gen PS5/Pro and Xbox Series S/X are all actually more expensive now factoring in inflation (excluding the impact of the tariffs) than at launch. Since the Switch 2 literally launched two months ago, we can’t really talk about price drops for it, so we compare the Switch 1. The article headline is correct, and all of this is in the body of the article.
That’s not what this article is talking about though. It’s talking about how single generation consoles don’t get any price drops anymore. The comparison isn’t Switch 1 vs Switch 2 prices, it’s launch Switch 1 vs current Switch 1 prices.
Like let’s vent about Nintendo all we want, but at least let’s read the article first.


According to their Wikipedia, Techdirt only accepted money from Charles Koch’s foundation for a lawsuit (amongst other donors), and are owned by Floor64.
Floor 64’s website only has 2 people listed in their management team, but I couldn’t dig up if either are linked to the Koch’s (I was pretty cursory about it though).
The article was worth a read for this quote alone:
VGHF library director Phil Salvador puts it even more simply: “Generative AI video is a great way to preserve video games, in the sense that mirages are a great source of water.”


You should play the original if you can, it really is the best Dragon Age game. Steam has a guide to get it up and running on modern machines.
Also, were you able to follow the story of Veilguard? I haven’t played it yet (and honestly I might never) but I got the impression that it was pretty tied to the story of Inquisition.
Ain’t this the truth. “Do I buy this thing I sort of need right now when it’s a BIT overpriced, or wait until it gets REALLY overpriced” is the modern dilemma consumers are facing across the board, it seems.
