I cant remember specifics, but they said the price was X but it was actually higher and then they did rebates to stores. They also have Frank Azor constantly making dumb posts online.

All they had to do was sell it as cheap as they could and shut up, but AMD are known for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

The 9070XT is a great card, AMD just fuck up every launch they do.

Microsoft should have left all their franchises behind and hired creative talent to make new IPs, instead they put any developers they could get on crunch time to spew out shitty sequels. Now that strategy has come to bite them in the ass, as they don't have appeal any more.

Good torpedo targets

Yeah, the self-hosted and FOSS side of things will forever be improving, but corporate shit just gets worse in terms of UX. I mean even FOSS projects have awful UX sometimes as they try copying corpos and their web apps.

It's small claims court, so anyone else getting fucked by this wont benefit. It's going to take a bigger case. This will be forgotton about in a coupke months and Samsung will keep doing it.

And I realize everyone probably has a “things were better back then, shakes fist” opinion

At some point, we have to start admitting that things were just better before. A lot of technology/software peaked ~15 years ago. Before it started sliding into the fucking mess we have these days.

The comments on that post are crazy delusional. How do you end up so far in a corporations pocket?

Sony are very anti-consumer, so that's never going to happen. They want to follow in Nintendo's footsteps, they just dont have the franchises to pull it off.

Exclusives make no sense in the current climate. Who is buying a console now to play 1 game? They are hoping they will sell more to brand loyal customers who feel less "betrayed" this way. I mean they will release it on PS5 eventually anyway, but dont tell the Xbox diehards that.

Keeps the diehard Xbox fans happy? It's extremely cringe worthy though.
