I just don't get whey they're so desperate to cripple the low end cards.

Like I'm sure the low RAM and speed is fine at 1080p, but my brother in Christ it is 2024. 4K displays have been standard for a decade. I'm not sure when PC gamers went from "behold thine might from thou potato boxes" to "I guess I'll play at 1080p with upscaling if I can have a nice reflection".

Watch out be like everything else in wow and be used for one expansion and then forgotten about.

Thank fuck. Can we have cheaper graphics cards again please?

I'm sure a RTX 4090 is very impressive, but it's not £1800 impressive.

Well they only need to do the first part of that.

So will pretty much anything except JS.

It's slightly less impressive when you realise they could have built a massive slide instead and got mostly the same result.

Guess it's better than a massive diesel truck though.

This is what game launchers looked like in my day.

If I wanted a different game I'd put in a different tape!

It's probably the inbuilt browser component that seems to be in everything these days.

Chrome pulled support for Win 7 and 8 ages ago, so anything that relies on an up to date browser is sure to follow.

Gee, I wonder why it's all AI generated horseshit from press releases these days.

The writing was on the wall when Jeff Gerstmann was fired over a bad review back in 2007. The whole game journalism industry has been on life support since then, and realistically been shafted ever since we went from purchased magazines to online.

Even then magazines would find themselves without timely review copies if they were not sympathetic to the need for good reviews.

What kinda space mutant hands do you have where the 3DS of all things was comfortable?

I even played Zelda with the stylus, such was the shape of Nintendo's handhelds.

Can't be nagged about Windows 11 if you never switched to SecureBoot.
