"Just buy it" was an opinion column with a prominent counter opinion column that seems to have been quite effective as revenue clickbait.
- graedus 8y agoI saw this in context, but in the end it doesn't make the piece defensible. The "counter opinion" was that you shouldn't buy (pre-order) the card yet. It's not like it was an NVIDIA hit-piece, just entirely reasonable advice about cards that aren't released yet. "Just pre-order it and don't wait for reviews and benchmarks, by the way here are NVIDIA's claimed performance figures aren't they great" is pretty suspect coming from the editor-in-chief a reviews and benchmarks site. Edit: also just some really insane lines in there: "When you die and your whole life flashes before your eyes, how much of it do you want to not have ray tracing?" ???
- tracker1 8y agoDear editor in chief for $MAGAZINE would you write an encouraging opinion piece for $BAG_OF_CASH? I'm not saying this is the case, but it really felt that way seeing the article.
