I don't know.

If it were that easy, there would already exist this kind of solution for enterprise products where image quality (and without compression) would benefit from the higher bandwidth that optical fibre brings.

There's something more that prevents it from happening.

No. Enterprise does not need high display bandwidth.  Graphical work is either not done in realtime or at very low framerates. Also optical fibre is of course more expensive than copper. That's the reason why it's not where it could be by now.

Gaming really is the only high end application I can think of when it comes to real time data at high pixel density and high frame rate.

Well, given that non-reference high end card like the 1080Ti still come with a DVI port, I doubt that will happen any time soon.

To present today's news I only have one word: Friday!

INTERPLAY, INXILE FOUNDER BRIAN FARGO IS GOING TO RETIRE AFTER WASTELAND 3
http://www.pcgamer.com/interplay-inxile-founder-brian-fargo-says-hes-going-to-retire-after-wasteland-3/
The past half-decade has been a very busy one for inXile boss Brian Fargo. His studio successfully crowdfunded and then launched Wasteland 2 and Torment: Tides of Numenera, it's got The Bard's Tale 4 and Wasteland 3 in the works, and he also helped set up the investor-friendly, game-exclusive crowdfunding platform Fig. But his career stretches back a whole lot farther than that—Moby cites his first credit as an Apple II adventure called The Demon's Forge, and he very famously headed up the glory days of Interplay—and now, according to Eurogamer, he's starting to feel an urge to try something else.

The team at Massive Entertainment initially said it wouldn't be fixed as part of the the maintenance patch that rolled out today, then extended that maintenance and said it would, but at the moment it's not entirely clear what's happened.

SHINESS: THE LIGHTNING KINGDOM LAUNCH DATE ANNOUNCED, SO LET'S LISTEN TO SOME MUSIC
http://www.pcgamer.com/shiness-the-lightning-kingdom-launch-date-announced-so-lets-listen-to-some-music/
Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom is a PS2-inspired JRPG that drops players in the midst of a conflict between multiple kingdoms on one of the Celestial islands created by the breakup of the planet Mahera—a conflict that might be brought to a peaceful outcome through the use of your ability to communicate with the mysterious, magical spirit known as the "Shiness." We said in mid-February that is was expected to be out "in a few weeks," which by most reasonable estimates would have put it in early to mid-March. Now, on the decidedly late end of that scale, we still don't have the game, but we do have a proper and precise launch date of April 18, and a nice new music trailer to watch, too.

http://www.pcgamer.com/outlast-2-is-coming-to-australia-after-all-following-classification-review/
The Australian Classification Board raised the ire of Australians earlier this month when it ruled that forthcoming survival horror game Outlast 2 should not be sold or distributed in the country. Implied sexual violence was cited as the reason, but the board has now revised its classification to an R18+ rating. That means the game is effectively unbanned.

WORLD OF WARCRAFT'S MASSIVE 7.2 UPDATE COMING MARCH 28, GETS A NEW TRAILER
http://www.pcgamer.com/world-of-warcrafts-massive-72-update-coming-march-28-gets-a-new-trailer/
Almost half a year after it was revealed at Blizzcon 2016, World of Warcraft's 7.2 update, The Tomb of Sargeras, will finally be arriving on Tuesday, March 28. Considering all the exciting additions coming in what Blizzard is calling their biggest update to the game ever, it's been a long wait—and there's still a few days to go.

WOW ACCOUNT SERVICES ARE ABOUT TO GET MORE EXPENSIVE IN THE UK AND EU, AND PLAYERS ARE PISSED
http://www.pcgamer.com/wow-account-services-are-about-to-get-more-expensive-in-the-uk-and-eu-and-players-are-pissed/
On the back of Hearthstone card pack prices going up, Blizzard announced today that World of Warcraft's account services will become more expensive in Europe and the UK on April 5. In what is likely a reaction to post-Brexit exchange rates that have gutted the value of the pound and with the euro still so low, both UK and EU players will see a roughly 25 percent increase in the price of server transfers, race changes, character boosts, and more. Fortunately, subscription fees will, for now, remain unchanged.

RAIN WORLD OPENING CINEMATIC FLAUNTS ADORABLE SLUGCATS
http://www.pcgamer.com/rain-world-opening-cinematic-flaunts-adorable-slugcats/

Copper does have an advantage over Fibre. Copper can act as power delivery.
For monitors that's not really an issue though... But for something like a passive splitter, cabled mice, keyboards, external drives... That can be issue.

As for ISDN... Well, ISDN can work over long distances, about 18 kilometers compared to DSL's up-to 4 kilometers.

Here in Australia we are rolling out Fibre, Hybrid Fibre Coax and re-using the copper with nodes closer to each home that employs VDSL modulation... All three are able to obtain up-to 100Mbps. With possibilities of 300-350Mbps on short loops with vectoring.

I would love to live in a fully Fibre world, but re-using copper can save money, so we should continue to do it whilst it's feasible.

Yeah decent numbers and worth a sequel.  Can't see it happening though.

Square-Enix weekend at the Humble Store, with games up to 75% off: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/square-enix-weekend/

Was looking at that last night, I don't really want to buy anymore games as I have way to many to play already but £10 for Deus Ex Mankind Divided is very tempting :D

It is indeed surprising to see it having a 70% off deal given that it's not that old. It launched only one year ago.

And the same is true for Rise of the Tomb Raider having a big 60% off sale.
