I just bought a $329 Nvidia RTX 3060 for $329, and all I had to do was wait nine months in line

Evga queue is the saving grace of this industry as they continue to sell near 2020 MSRP

At least they're doing that right. I hope they've fixed their soldering problem.

Ubisoft lowers price of Rainbow Six Extraction, offers free co-op passes for friends

Rainbow Six Extraction isn't out yet, but Ubisoft is already issuing a major discount. Previously planned to be a $60 game, Extraction will launch on every platform at $40. Ubisoft also announced that every copy of Extraction will come with two "Buddy Pass tokens" that'll allow friends to download a trial version of the game valid for 14 days.

Watch this go free to play within a year. Ubi keeps trying to push this left field spinoff and the community keeps telling them they aren't interested. Both sides seem dug in and I wonder how well it will end up selling.

Oh! So they're lowering the price in an attempt to apease the fanbase and bring them to the game? I thought it was because they knew the game was sh!t and no one would buy it at full price.

Not that one thing excludes the other, mind you.
