And we have been paying for it ever since. They will never make that mistake again lol.

nice, I'm waiting a bit to see if there's a steady stream of ongoing support before buying, but it's looking good so far
and he's doing a damn good job at it
I wonder how many times I will have to see a publisher significantly harm their reputation in the PC market in a yolo bet to set up their own ecosystem and store.
I thought Sony had been conservative and decided against it when their first steam releases hit but with this move it seems possible that a Sony PC ecosystem was always in the works and it just wasn't ready for those original releases. Oh well.
The idea of Valve ever becoming a public corp ranks higher in my lists of fears than being eaten alive by zombies
He's so handsome :D
Because you have wasted like 5 opportunities that NVIDIA has given you to penetrate the market on a silver platter
The 7000 series could have been so successful if they would have been willing to undercut NVIDIA significantly, it was the perfect time to strike at a time when there was a lot of discontent with NVIDIAS ridiculous pricing and VRAM offerings. But AMD would rather sell two cards at 1000 each than take the bet of trying to sell four at 750.
At least in the past you could argue that they were not in a position to take huge bets in the graphics market but they've been doing too well as a company for that excuse to hold any value anymore. The last two generations can only be explained with complacency and lack of ambition.
At this point AMD kinda deserves to give up their position to Intel in the graphics market, let's see if the new player is willing to penetrate aggressively because the old player two is clearly ok with where they are at.
Easy Red 2 is SO slept on right now relative to its quality, the work the team is putting in it, and its future potential
Always nice to see anothe ER2 enjoyer
Yet again, proof of what's always been true: eventually, there's always demand
I wonder if I'll be even worse in this one
orb dude doesn't seem to be in it so that's already a huge problem for me
I mean most probably yeah, but they have also been progressively locking more and more functionalities behind paid tiers.
Now that they have fully penetrated and locked the market, killed any potential competitors, and become the default, I assume their "product" will be to make the free tier become less and less functional while also getting monetized in more annoying ways. If people don't like it maybe they should have known better than to make it the default.
Unfortunate.
Wonder if they regret having used that development time on Starfield instead of a new Fallout, because with this renewed interest due to the show a Fallout 5 would have done ridiculously well
