Pretty sure my friend got one of those second hand for lan parties he hosted in highschool. That was was more than 20 years ago.

They aren’t a hero. They are a company attempting to generate a profit by selling a product. This is likely to be helpful to the consumers, but they aren’t making a sacrifice for our benefit.

True. This may actually be a boon to smaller devoplers who can sell games for less money because there development costs are less ambitious.

Yeah, prices will only go down if sales go down massively. And since video games are likely being used as an emotional coping mechanism, that seems unlikely.

This is a still running test simulations of the design. Once that is done they will hand it to the Fab which has its own work to do beyond “just make it”. After they do have actual hardware, there will probably be a lot more testing and driver refinement.

Sounds better than repeatedly swinging for the moon and missing.
