  • I wish your comment wasn’t downvoted as it is fair.

    While this community is hosted on our Canadian instance, I believe that it’s still fair to post here as we (for better or for worse, currently worse) share close borders with the US and in the PC parts marketspace; generally whatever happens in the US tends to have effects up here as well.


    Extras:

    Funnily enough in this case however; Trump’s decision will likely make markets outside the US better, Why?: well American companies themselves will likely redirect incoming parts to other nations as the tarrif cost will be difficult to bear in such short notice.

    • we saw this happen during Trump’s initial tarrif snafu and we’re probably gonna see this happen…again. What a fucking moron.

    For my American friends, this really blows and I’m sorry :/

    For those who I know, when I’ve got time I’ll try to calculate if it’s worth shipping parts into the US from Canada. It’s so stupid that THIS is the timeline we’re living in.












  • It’s an interesting scenario.

    I’d posit that the possibility mostly depends on the aquisition of RAM by Valve before the memory market implosion.

    If Valve is able to successfully sell Steam Machines then other SIs and manufacturers might revisit the gaming market.


    Based on Micron’s action of exiting the consumer market (by killing off their Crucial division) I’d imagine that most manufaturers are considering doing the same as the demand from AI hyperscalers has become obnoxiously enticing for most corporate entities.



















  • I’m still going through the vid while doing stuff in the background but essentially:

    • Moonie is pointing out that SKG and the way that they worded/phrased the initiative might seem sematicy to the layman but is highly strategic as is required in order for the best potential outcomes.

    There’s a ton I’m leaving out but someone can probably explain better than I currently can.

    Sorry it wasn’t really a TLDW, currently I’m busy but I didn’t want to leave anyone hanging as this is also important to me🫡



  • Persoanlly it feels like Riaz/Longdue Games was trying to unreasonably coerce and then pressure Argo into signing away all IP and rights related to announcing a new game studio for the sake of trying to poach Disco Elysium’s prior fans.


    I’ll have to see if this feeling holds up after I review the back and forth a couple of times but so far to me Riaz is pulling some shady toxic moves. I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable being in the same country as that guy.
