    NVIDIA GeForce No Longer Company's Largest Revenue Source

    What do you mean by this? Did you check the source? Gaming revenue is up by 26% YoY. It's by the books a financial success. It might not be as good as they hoped, but it's still a success. https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-announces-financial-results-for-second-quarter-fiscal-2021

    So... advertising CD Key sites

    That guarantee does not mean anything if it's not a verified reseller. But hey, atleast they will give you another potentially stolen key. That's absolutely not anything conclusive since you don't know the type of key. It's just baseless personal anecdotal evidence. MAK-keys as well as MDSN-keys...

    So... advertising CD Key sites

    Because there is no guarantee provided by the seller that the keys are unique? You could have gotten, say 5 different MAK-keys sent to you and 5 other people got them and you have no way of knowing. When you actually do buy from a validated legitimate source and a Microsoft dealer then you are...

    You can't possibly know that they are unique. If they are sending out MAK/Volume-license or whatever they are not dumb. They won't send you the same key twice, that would expose it so fast. It's simple distribution. Again, the only way of knowing what kind of key it is and the likeliness of it...

    Just that there exists a risk of funding potential criminal activity/credit-card theft means that handing money to these sites doesn't sit right with me.

    How do you know that they are unique? You can only check that they truly are a unique retail/OEM key yourself via the command above. If it is indeed a MAK key or any type of volume-license key then what they are doing is breaking the Microsoft ToS.

    There is quite a big chance that they are selling MAK-keys, where this is a problem. This also happens if they happen to sell normal Retail/OEM-keys to multiple people. You can verify what kind of key you get from them by running slmgr /dlv in a command-prompt.

    NVIDIA Revises Financial Outlook for 2019 by $500 million, Immediately Hit Back by the Stock Market

    it has been unrealistic for quite a while, they were valued higher than IBM which makes no sense. So it's a big part market correction.

    So why allow comments in the first place? I mean it's obvious that these kinds of posts will cause very divisive opinions. Edit: Oh hey, you can't comment on them anymore. Genius.

    So? I still want to voice my opinion, if you don't want to read it you can just skip it. I still find it very strange for them to censor the critique instead of responding to it.

    Yeah, it's really disappointing. And you aren't even allowed to comment that you are disappointed about it in the threads about the "article" without it being removed...twice. I do not like it in the slightest and it comes of as incredibly unprofessional. It makes me second guess my visit every...

    Square Enix Cancels Future Final Fantasy XV Development, At Least We Have The Benchmark With DLSS Support

    Yeah, but this is very incorrect: "The departure of Hajime Tabata, director of development, has made Square Enix decide to cancel the PC version that many expected" https://store.steampowered.com/app/637650/FINAL_FANTASY_XV_WINDOWS_EDITION/ And it's not just affecting PC, but the console as...
