Good, it's about time these companies stopped putting all their eggs in one basket.

this will save a bit on import fees. :rolleyes:

I hope they enjoy their rent prices, which are skyrocketing in Austin, TX.

They don't need to worry, you will, the customer. :nutkick:

possibly, but to be completely honest, the older I am getting the less gaming I do... and the less demanding games really amuse me more than the newer ones. I could foresee my 5600x and 6800 PC lasting me 10+ years honestly. so I simply may not be a customer anymore /shrug

also my backlog is so vast, a 6800 maxes out all of those games, and that backlog could easily last me 20 years.

so yeah I'm good to go. the only thing I really want now is a 4k monitor for games like FFX that are capped at 30 fps.

Yes, I agree, this will probably be my last upgrade too for about 10 years, I have a major backlog to get to and I personally am happy with where graphics are at their current state. Not to mention, these markets and the prices they are these days, have severely put me off that I don't have hope for the future products or that their prices will come at a fair price. There is always some other reason why the next generation is up 50%-100%, well, screw that, sick of it.

There are still indie games from like ten years ago I want to play, that I am genuinely excited to play still, but a book, or another game, or a tv series ends up distracting me, but it doesn't change the fact I still have a passion for these older games and I do intend to get to them someday. I actually have been doing an excellent job at not buying new games. I only bought 1 game this year and that was Pillars of Eternity II Obsidian Edition for $14, the entire collection for 14 was a solid deal imo. The idea of being on a wooden naval ship for a game like this really sounds fascinating, I might start that one up soon.

All my time right now is actually spent on the booktuber universe, I watch a few famous booktubers, and read books, and enjoying discussing those books with other people, etc. Someday when I need a break from that I will load up a game, and back and forth, etc. I never get burned out this way.

On-topic: it is nice to still see progress occurring though, even if I don't plan to participate. better than stagnation for the day I do upgrade in several years :)

Well if there is a power outage, it will probably be legit, and then they can hike prices................

Is this gonna be something like the FoxCON factory?
