The 9060XT 8GB should be rebadged as the 9050XT and just lower the clocks, would make a good budget eSports card.

If AMD wants to beat nVidia and obtain some mindshare with gamers, the 9060XT needs to be 16GB only, needs to match the 5060Ti 8GB in price, it would be impossible to recommend nVidia then,.. And then AMD achieves their objective of volume sales as they aren't chasing the high-end anymore.

I wish it were so easy, but a 9060 has been mostly confirmed, blocking the change you propose. So, unless we can convince AMD to rename the 9060XT 8GB as 9060, and turn the 9060 into a 9050XT, it won't happen.

Well, that's dumb. EA isn't going to do anything with those games, but instead of allowing others to take care, and profit, from them, they're just "nah", and now the games will be lost from Steam for the foreseeable future.

At least there's GOG.

Oh, and I don't know how to embed Bluesky posts.

You click the three dots below the post choose embed post from that menu then you just copy & pasted it.

We figured it out! The Steam version of LSL is licensed from Codemasters, which was recently purchased by EA, who maybe chose not to renew the license

The GOG versions are staying up, at least! But as with so many of these cases, it boils down to "rights nightmare"
