Fall Guys is a great casual game to play, so no judgment there. 

Although I do wonder if Epic has just given up in their attempt to compete with Steam. New features have not been introduced in seemingly a long time other than some rewards program, so the storefront is still a very barebones experience other than the occasional EGS exclusive and free games, and like you said, the Epic Launcher is dogshit

Pretty late to the party. With 4060/Ti 4070/Ti already getting discounts, by the time those arrive, it's not gonna be a happy time

Only E-core cpu is as much of a potato as one would think

The Acer GPU segment is pretty telling of why people don't like working with Nvidia. Acer has been building Intel Arc GPUs and they are also making Radeon GPUs. But when Acer approached Nvidia to make Nvidia GPUs as well, Nvidia said they can only put their GPUs in prebuilt systems and not sell them to DIY and by the sounds of it, they may need Jensens own approval to make DIY GPUs.

PC is currently more profitable to Activision Blizzard than consoles
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/pc-is-more-profitable-to-activision-blizzard-than-next-gen-consoles/
During its Second Quarter 2023 Financial Report, Activision Blizzard stated that PC is currently a more profitable platform than both Xbox Series X and PS5.
According to the publisher, for the 6 months of the year, PC made $1.25 billion. For comparison purposes, all consoles combined made $1.19 billion in that same period. However, even the PC platform was no match for mobile. Mobile is currently the golden cow of Activision Blizzard as it brought in $1.9 billion.

Mobile is just crazy. I think i've collectively spent like $30 bucks in all the years. One of my coworkers had spent $3,000 on one game alone. It's insane.

Yea the main issue is that there is a lack of competition. Nvidia can get away with their shenanigans because the market allows them to and Radeon isn't doing anything about it. Like the 4060 8GB for example. Terrible card and easy win for Radeon. What do they do? Release a 7600 with 8GB of vram for slightly cheaper. The 4060 Ti base model comes with 8GB of Vram as well and should be an easy win for Radeon. What do they do? Lets release their 7700XT in September... Which by the time that happens, the 4060 Ti 16GB will likely come down to $400 vs the rumoured price of $450 of 7700XT and 4070 will likely come down to $500. And the list goes on. What Radeon doesn't understand or has given up completely on is the fact that Nvidia is the default choice and it is up to Radeon or Intel to give people a reason to not buy Nvidia. If Radeon is basically just Nvidia + 5-10% performance at similar prices, people won't switch because Nvidia has the feature set to sway buyers like DLSS, Ray Tracing, Reflex etc.

I think Intel at least seems to know this and with some hope, Battlemage should be releasing in a much better state than Arc did. The fact that you can get an A750 for $180 is insane! So if Intel continues their trend of aggressive price and performance, then hopefully, it will force Nvidia to take the gaming market more seriously. Especially since Intel is very competitive in Ray Tracing and also has their own Ai based upscaler. But till Intel becomes competitive, I don't see Nvidia changing their ways. Because when you have 80%+ of the market share even though you are turning out shit products like the 4060 Ti, what incentive is their to give the gamers proper GPUs?

Don't ask me how much I spent on Genshin Impact

Brother

Yeah I can see doing that (minus podcast stuff lol) - same with Minecraft (which I finally got to).

When your store is worse than Ubisoft or EA's store/app, you need to reconsider what you are doing lol.

It's weird how mobile attracts mega whales who happily drop a few grand on a game and move on to the next game the following month and do it again. It basically created it's own market different to PC and console.

All my Genshin has been on PC so it's doesn't count as mobile revenue right :D Though I only get the Welkin sub so I'm low on the spend list.

It's even crazier when you consider that all mainline CoD games have still released on last-gen consoles as well. So that revenue is also taking that into account as well. PC gamers love shooters, strategy, and RPGs. ABK offers all three. 

I refuse to play on mobile though always will. 

I didn't say you did. But we were talking about playing Gears and you told me to buy a console to play it, which I won't.
