And yet still the third most popular card according to the Steam hardware survey.

Only the 1650 (similar spec to 1060) and 3060 above it.

I was hoping the 4060 would be the new mid tier go to card, giving good results at a good price, but Nvidia want the new normal to be a 4070 or higher.

By this point 4K screens are not some extravagance. They're standard. You can't even buy a modern TV less than that. PC gamers should not be accepting the price they have to pay to get what "lol potato console hurdur" gamers get out of the box.

There's definitely games where my 1060 really struggles even at minimal graphics. I even had to play Talos Principle 2 on PS5.

It's rather telling that the most prominent PC exclusives (MMOs, etc) can run on a potato.

The Intel Arc GPUs looked interesting, but the lack of compatibility on older titles is off-putting. AMD lack the raytracing oomph and support isn't as good as it is for DLSS. PC gaming has thrown all it's chips in with Nvidia, and now it's at the mercy of their pricing.

I'm sure the last few Ubisoft games I got from Steam all installed UPlay before letting me run them anyway...

I'm not buying it because £45 is not a budget price for what feels like an indie game experience. I can wait for a sale on that, or more likely for it to go to PSN Extra. Still got plenty on my backlog.

PS2 achieved a level of dominance we're unlikely to see again. An enormous leap over the previous generation, and had practically no competition for years. Seeing something like GTA3 for the first time was mind-blowing.

Well thanks PC Gamer, for that unbiased news.

Until GPUs get a sane price again, I'll stick to my PS5 for anything that I want to look good.

The only one I can think of was the Spyro trilogy remaster, which had games 2 and 3 as downloads.

In any case I think there's more chance of Valve going bust than Sony or Microsoft...

You are gonna be disappointed. I stole it and still wanted a refund.

I'm not out of space yet, but I still deleted it from my Jellyfin server out of principle.

I think it's the writing above all else that's a complete embarrassment.

Your own opinion is the only one that matters.

Unless you like Expendables 4. If you liked that you deserve prison.

It's that necessarily a good thing?

I remember suddenly needing a firewall on my PC back in the days of the Blaster worm.

Do we really want all those crappy IoT devices open on all ports to the general internet?

They've captured his weird lumpy face beautifully.

If only they'd carried on with that idea.

I had that with "I don't care about cookies" add-on.

I disabled it and then it blocked me for being from Europe. 🤷‍♂️
