AMD to Bundle Unknown9 Awakening and Warhammer: Space Marine II with Processors and Graphics Cards

[btarunr]

AMD announced the Q3-2024 edition of its "This is Why We Game" bundle. The company is bundling either "Unknown 9 Awakening," or "Warhammer 40000: Space Marine II," or both, with new purchases of select AMD Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards across its add-in board (AIB) partner ecosystem, and AMD Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors. It is also available to notebooks powered by Ryzen 7000S and 7000HS series mobile processors. The bundle is open worldwide (except China and a few other countries). The Japanese edition of this bundle only covers certain higher-end models of Ryzen processors and Radeon RX graphics cards.

Sweet Baby Inc are involved with Unknown9 so its not really the greatest selection of games.

Since SpaceMarine2 is basically $100. I will be buying whatever the cheapest card I can buy so that I can can cut some Tyranids in half.

Good on AMD and all but methinks they are trying to move product before the RyZen 9000 series release.

If that was not supposed to be a condescending question, where have you been the last 3 months or so ?

It's interesting there is no "cashback reward" for the Ryzen 7600X / 7500F / 7600 Processor. I'm kinda happy with my Ryzen 7600X.

At least AMD is now aware of to name MS Windows operating system only in the game section.

Have they ever done a 'cashback' scheme for their CPUs?? Ive never heard of them ever doing one. I know that Asus and Samsung do it with a lot of their products but Asus in particular really make you work to get what they promise you.

Not on social media, so please do enlighten us with this essential knowledge

Sadface... cant get a code anymore for my purchase of 1 week ago...
Damn it.

Is there any point mailing AMD for this?

It has mostly been GPUs, but for some reason I think there was a promotion using CPUs but can't be sure.

I thought as much. I think game bundles for CPUs is also something that doesnt happen a lot either. Maybe it has happened before, I cant recall ever seeing or hearing of one. Normally they'll bundle games with GPu purchases but that is normally down to the board partners themselves to deal with

Maybe its something retailer specific. I know newegg will regular run cashback or rebate schemes on all sorts of hardware but its their own thing not linked to the manufacturers.

JFC where have you been? Get in the stream or start looking it up for yourself. We're running the SBI train straight into the ground.
SBI and BRIDGE have been spearheading movements that inject the new world religion ideology into everything we see today from woke corpo cringe, bizarro unigender character designs in games, overstepping their roles in writing game scripts/stories to the point of drowning out most other details and just inserting themselves in all of the places that they normally wouldn't be welcome because muh [social problem here] and representation with the promise of success.

We all know that's not how it works but a lot of corpos and even new companies out there can't stop sucking down the Jonestown juice.
It's along the same vein of extreme leftist politic that has hijacked language to further whatever agenda they see fit but more of a guilt+gaslight mafia tactic.
You'll know it when you see it.

I'm staying out of AM5 a bit longer. If I need to upgrade, 5000 series is cheaper+faster, likely provides exactly what I need and I'm still graphic bound anyway. Is it time to seriously look at dealing with my RX 7000 series debacle? A good chunk of these cards seem way more fragile than others, have NO generational advantages over 6000 series for what I do and I'm on the fence about giving PowerColor a 3rd chance and just going Sapphire. It's been 8 months, the co has had my money and I still have no GPU. Wat do?

I guess you are not a fan of Woke or DEI right?

I mean, I dont even know where this is relevant from, im guessing game creation? well....im 35 years old now and gaming is not doing it for me anymore, just the same stuff (but often worse) then the stuff I already played 10 - 20 years ago, and everything that showed the slightest hint of promise turned out to be just a lie, that said I do keep up with the news kinda watching mostly Angry Joe for news updates but yeah still no clue what the problem with sweet baby inc is...

I see that you are quite emotional about this but this aggrandizing speech is not really helping me understand what on earth the problem is with sweet baby inc....
Could you be a bit more specific about the actual issues here?

I mean if you want to talk storytelling problems, man, those have sucked since the dawn of time and very few can bring something good to the table that actually ends good as well and not with a "it was all a dream" bs ending because they could not actually think up something to explain what was going on (which is what made it interesting to begin with) hell im not even a fan of lord of the rings and that is universally praised, SOMA was excellent though.

Indeed, and I can respect their hustle.

However, as I recall there were free games on offer from AMD when I bought my RyZen 9 7950X and later when I bought my RX 7800 XT.

One would think that the 9000 series will have a similar game bundle incentive if not exactly the same.

Waiting at this point just seems advantageous. Wait for 9000 series with free game or wait for 7000 series with free game and price cuts due to 9000 series release.
