Bem, acho que terei que sobreviver no lado retrô da força.

Já estou sentindo que vai uma fortuna no Brasil nem eu vou ter que entrar no lado do retro da força

Looks like an opportunity for AMD and Intel to step their game up.

There are thousands of games to play from the last 40 years on various platforms, I think most people will be good if gaming in general randomly killed itself one day and stopped producing new games or consoles. Unless they're multiplayer addicts who refuse to play anything single-player, which I don't understand

Existem milhares de jogos dos últimos 40 anos para jogar em diversas plataformas. Acho que a maioria das pessoas ficaria bem se os jogos em geral simplesmente desaparecessem do nada e parassem de produzir novos jogos ou consoles. A menos que sejam viciados em jogos multiplayer que se recusam a jogar qualquer coisa single-player, o que eu não entendo.

Welcome to the retro side of the force.

I think the real concern here isn't that we'll be running out of games to play anytime soon but the fact that hardware will break at one point or another and it will be difficult to replace if it isn't manufactured anymore.

It'd require such a massive boycott to counter this...

Physical copies of games would be also effected, with something such as gamecube disc rot or even when 3ds games dies because the flash memory in it died out.

more of a reason to hate how my gaming laptop has a NVIDIA driver lmaoooooo

at this point, my life is cooked. seeing 1 TB NVME SSDs go for 120$+ is just abysmal to me and I can't even think about RAM sticks due to Crucial being one of the most crucial brands for RAM is using our resources to enhance AI capabilities. makes me vex.

Well, more business for others

My five year old gaming laptop that's way past warranty with an already switched out fan and another one that's starting to sound tired ain't gonna like these news...

Hey, if they are cool with leaving money on the table like that...

It just feels weird, since I distinctly remember my friend getting a fucking part-time job as a teenager just to get an NVIDIA card because those were universally understood to be "the way to go" as far as gaming goes (and he actually had to settle for a Radeon one because his desired model was all sold out).

But that company seems to have been under shaky management for years at this point, aggressively boarding then dropping projects at the drop of a hat for seemingly no reason (integrated VR support, anyone? That was a headliner for them, then it got erases out of existence because they didn't want to do it after making it the SELLING POINT of their then next gen cards).
