Sry but MS aquisition is not special in my eyes. Iam a Pc and PS gamer and the 3 biggest games from Bethesda are Fallout, Skyrim and Doom.
All of these games are known games but these games arent played that much and are a niche game.
Especially Skyrim and Fallout are games which are only played by a specific played base. This player base (which is small to for example CoD player base on console) is different to the casual player base.
Doom, everyone talks and plays it the first week and then its kinda dead. Only ppl who really like it stick to it.
I checked the playtime of my friends who have Doom (the latest one) and the highest was 48mins
These 3 games are known but they are NOT !! on the level of real high quality AAA games like:
Uncharted
The Last of Us
God of War
Ghost of Tsushima
GTA
Red Dead Redemption

What I want to know is what exactly gives the US the right (or the legal ability) to tell companies that aren't US based (such as TSMC or SK Hynix or SMIC) who they can and can't do business with.
SMIC in particular is Chinese and last I checked even Donald Trump isn't powerful enough to tell a Chinese tech company that it can't sell product to another Chinese tech company.
And if SMIC is relying on US parts and supplies and things for its semiconductor fabs, they should just reverse engineer (or steal) whatever it is they need in order to not need parts form the US anymore. (being able to make highly advanced semiconductors in China without the US having any ability whatsoever over what chips get made and who they get sold to sounds like something that the Chinese government would probably find attractive)

if you didn't pay attention its your won fault. ONE x vs SERIES x big difference if you are sober and not suffering from greed rage.
I dont get all the complaining about naming that goes on these days. if pretty clear.
If people really want to complaint about naming do it with monitors where theres =things like the AOC 24G2U but then they sell them as versions like 24G2u/BK in some regions and noone knows what that means. And ld sels some as PLA and some as PLB based and again noone knows the difference and for some models there is none but for some models there is a huge difference. screens are a mess the rest is pretty clear.
Same with intel i have zero issues with their names.

I can see how a random person who doesn't follow hardware can very easily mix up One X and Series X, but I don't see how anyone who knew enough about Xbox to know the pre-orders were going up and seek it out could make that mistake. Like, aside from the name, it looks different, it's priced different, and it would ship immediately and not in November.
Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I suspect a lot of those sales were scalpers who either don't know what the thing is or just screwed up their bots. I hope that's the case and they wasted their money.

Cloud Gaming, in terms of game ownership, goes a step further because you could lose total access to games since they have to run on the server. If Steam or other stores didn't allow you to download games you've purchased that are inaccessible from the store due to licensing, they would fall through the floor. Fortunately you can still download Deadpool the game, if you purchased a license while it was available. If the Batman license were to run out on Stadia or any other cloud service, it would be gone even if you bought the license to play it.

Hey steve, I just wanted to say that the old video and article you guys did on VRMs, chokes and MOSFETs helped me immensely for both my COMPTIA studies and for my own understanding in preparation of my new build's motherboard selection. I built my current PC with everything primed for overclocking, except the motherboard, because I didn't know about or understand powerphases at the time. So now I can get an overclock of 200Mhz max before I get VRM throttling, despite being on an FX-8370... a legendary overclocking chip :'(

More and more the 3000 launch looks like it was rushed, with corners cut. I'm guessing NVIDIA was the source of this, the fallout of which affected the AIBs. Atm each issue is generally discussed in isolation, but as time passes and more issues emerge, it builds to a bigger picture of NVIDIA reacting with panic to what it believes AMD is planning. All of which is all the more reason to wait and see what AMD released before deciding what to buy.

> Amazon has a new game streaming service.
Bro why are they all making the same mistake?
Look I want to own a game I like not rent it. I want to be able to go back after a few year of not playing it and pop it in. Not screw around with some subscription. Not only that but I dont have unlimited data (yet), and theres a variety of other down sides compared to actually owning he game. I'm gonna stick with steam and owning the games.

T-shirt ordered, after all the content youve provided over the years to me especially over the last month building up to the Nvidia launch, thanks for all your hard work guys keep it up! PS personally I loved the downhill biking video, it had the right amount of context but was way more chilled to watch and listen to while working, if it means you get to enjoy yourself while doing it too, I'm into it becoming a series!

Maybe Microsoft shouldn't see it as sharing games with Sony but making money off of Sony by selling games on their platform... It is the software that makes the money, not the hardware ;-)
Other then that, then I usually don't see a benefit of megacorps buying up all the game companies. It is most often the smaller studios that make the INTERESTING games.
