Gaming Nobility Hierarchy

[rhu1949]

Every phone gets a new iteration each year and those are priced similarly, so I don't see an annual release as so crazy. Skip a gen or two, use lower settings, then buy again when ready or your contract is up so that you can be subsidized again.

PC gamers be like the borg they must assimilate everything

Those things look they are setting up for disaster. The last I heard about them they are non-upgradeable, which is one of the primary reasons that PC gamers choose the PC as a gaming platform, so that they can optimize their experience as they see fit.

The other problem was that they are also kicking around the idea of releasing a new one each year. There's no point in buying a Steam machine that won't be able to run new games optimally in a few years. If a person really wanted the console experience they would be better suited to pay their $400 upfront for a PS4 or Xbox One and be set for the long term.

That's the Alienware model. There are other partners out there, but I haven't heard much about them. He also basically retracted his statement about "not upgradable" because you can... it's just difficult for the Alienware model (which honestly doesn't surprise me... it's Alienware - they're all about the cash).

Except for playing Alundra and Symphony of the Night, yes. Although the Vita crossplay thing might make me reconsider.

I grabbed the sword from that statue early on and things have kind of been a joke since then. Certainly challenges my memories of extreme difficulty, although the puzzles are still a B as well as some of the platforming.

Well that's good then that at least buyers will have options. Pricing will also be key in moving units.
