Yeah, not surprising at all, but still good to call out shitty anti-consumer behavior when we see it.

Always nice to see a developer release content updates that’s not microtransactioned

I’m more wondering if corporations are going to corporation and just use the US tariffs as the excuse for globally up the prices.

I would be interested to see what other countries are seeing.

Yeah, pretty pathetic in my opinion.

Ah, cool. Must have been relatively recent then. Good, now if we can get a non-paper launch and at MSRP we might actually see some sanity in the GPU market.

Tesla will begin its roll out of its self-driving Robotaxi fleet in multiple US cities in the months to come, already taking appropriate regulatory steps in both California and Texas.

Anyone want to take bets on how many deaths/injuries will there be before they’re pulled?

Infinite is valid all things considered.

And also, who doesn’t want hundreds to thousand of miles put against your warranty.

To me it sounds like they are preying on the gamer who isn’t tech savvy or are desperate. Just a continuation of being anti-consumer and anti-gamer.

From another article:

Reporting from Bloomberg indicated that Nintendo had apparently anticipated an amount of tariff-related chaos. In February, Nintendo had been building “a stockpile of millions of consoles” from Vietnam, where two-thirds of assembled consoles are now being earmarked for shipments to the US. Any Nintendo consoles assembled in China, meanwhile, would face an import tariff that—at time of writing—has risen to 245%.

Seems like they’re using the tried and true method to avoid the tariffs but I do wonder how long this will actually last then.

If you watch the video, it sure does seem to be what this potential scam is banking on you noticing.

Caveat emptor.

The money from microtransactions, battlepasses, loot boxes, premium currency, and FOMO.

In this special edition, players can get access to extra items, such as horse armour and exclusive weapons.

Didn’t say it included it, that players can access it, which they could access it by buying via microtransaction.

Notwithstanding but i have no trust with Bethesda at this point.

What’s the over-under for trying to make an official modding store?

They’re so good for gamers that they’re preventing reviewers from reviewing the 5060 8 GB models.

Be disabled, be elderly, be a guy working multiple jobs and still not make enough to be above the poverty line.

I mean Republican assholes is a much better and more accurate adjective.

‘premium’ and not ‘full price’ can mean anything between .01 USD and 79.98 USD at this point when you’ve got a major console and publisher reporting bullshit 80 dollar price points.

You give these corporate jackasses a inch and they’ll bend you over and I for one don’t trust any of these AAA publishers.

My guess is they’re looking at Nintendo here and seeing if they push 50 - 55 USD a ‘premium’, executive bullshit buzzword on par work AAAA gaming, over what is considered normal, 40 USD, now for a live service game.

8 GB is a joke and a insult at this point.
