In a shocking move, EVGA announced that they are quitting the GPU business with NVIDIA after 22 years & not offer any new graphics card.
Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.
They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move
Everyone's acting now that game companies care about games and Xbox is committing the Ultimate betrayal, they are all like this and you have just been quiet about it for far too long
I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.
“Your game has won some pretty significant awards and is a show piece for where we want to go in the future.”
1 hour later.
“We’re gonna have to let you go. You can’t cover our 100 billion dollar acquisition. Oh and take your awards too 👍🏾”
The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."
“Bond adds that they will start on the web”
This will go nowhere.
Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.
The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.
The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.
One modder produced an unofficial, modern-day take on the Game Gear.
Thats a big move.
Nvidia are getting quite greedy, will probably come back to bite them. It kind of has a little already in that they have such a huge amount of Ampere 3000 series to sell and not that many are buying, and now supposedly there is 4000 series already sitting in a warehouse somewhere waiting to be released. That could be true with all the leaked photos that have come out.
Nvidia sold cards directly to miners during the mining boom, and Jensen talks of wanting higher margins. They're already trying to screw over 4000 series buyers by supposedly using a lower tier chip for the 4080 this time, and no doubt the 4090 will be very expensive.
There's no issue in the 4090 being expensive if the performance uplift is justified, it was only around 10-15% for the 3080 -> 3090 because they used the same tier chip, this time supposedly not the case. Which again is fine if true, as long as the 4080 still gets a large jump in performance as well as the other cards.
I watched JayzTwoCents video on this and it's pretty damning. Nvidia are a terrible partner to work with.
It feels like AMD might soon gain on Nvidia.
I mean EVGA has been there since the start with nvidia. To break such a partnership means they are looking at it fropm a purely business standpoint. They dont care about the copnsumers at this point.
Well that’s a headline I never thought I’d read. Kinda crazy.
