A shame, but I guess you're not losing anything then.

Well, I'll be losing 3€ for A Game About Digging A Hole, as Luna got me intrigued about the game, but wouldn't start it...

Well, that's a bummer .

Some good news. A bunch of Warhammer titles have returned to Steam, along with some older games that are new to Steam as part of Warhammer Classics label.

And now bad news. A lot Disney games were removed, again.

*snip*

Disney's Treasure Planet: Battle of Procyon is a good game from what I hear. Good thing for me I already owned most of these since the last removal spree.

Thanks, Rhonin.

The delistings are a shame, but I don't think all those games will be missed.

NVIDIA Preps GeForce RTX 5060 Ti & RTX 5060 With 9 GB GDDR7 Memory, 1 GB Extra Memory, Launch In May-June

https://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-rtx-5060-9-gb-gddr7-memory-launch-in-may-june/

So now the 5060Ti is also involved? I hope it only replaces the 8GB variant, not both.

We'll see how they perform, as the lower bandwidth could be a big problem in some games.

Alienware AW2726DM launches at $350 with 1440p 240Hz QD-OLED panel, but only 200 nits

https://videocardz.com/newz/alienware-aw2726dm-launches-at-350-with-1440p-240hz-qd-oled-panel-but-only-200-nits

That is a surprisingly cheap QD-OLED monitor, more so from Alienware. That 200 nits peak brightness is low, but it's in SDR mode and, to be honest, very few people have their monitors set to run at 100% brightness. I don't think it will be a problem.

Intel removes older Arc and 7th-10th Gen graphics drivers from Download Center

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-removes-older-arc-and-7th-10th-gen-graphics-drivers-from-download-center

This will bring less clutter and confusion. Not a bad move and it will affect virtually no one.

Valve customs record suggest first large shipment of 2026 Steam Controller

https://videocardz.com/newz/valve-customs-record-suggest-first-large-shipment-of-2026-steam-controller

Not a lot of controllers, but it's just the first shipment.

I guess Valve decided to not keep waiting for memory prices to stabilize to launch all their new hardware and has decided to move forward with their controllers.

Chinese SSD Maker, PetaIO, Unveils PCIe Gen6 SSD With CXL 3.0: Over 28 GB/s & 50M IOPS

https://wccftech.com/chinese-ssd-maker-petaio-unveils-pcie-gen6-ssd-cxl-3-0-28-gbps-50m-iops/

Another chinese memory company is working on building more fabs to more than double its capacity.

It will still take time, but feels like this whole memory crysis is giving Chinese makers a push, and that could become a problem for the future of Samsung, Micron and SK Hynix

First he did the small one, also pictured, and then build his bigger brother. Nice.

Also, kudos to Noctua for helping with the project.
