Please take into consideration that this will be the same naive, impressionable "market segment" that repeatedly pre-orders new games, even though there is no real reason to do so, as the games are digital copies, so there is no scarcity. The same market segment also rewards shitty game companies, producing half-finished, barely working product, with their money again and again. All because of a combination of deviously good marketing and FOMO.
So yes, I fully expect those soon-to-break GPUs to sell like hotcakes, and a lot of crying soon thereafter.
- johnnyanmac 5y agoPC's have limited/collector's editions too, despite the actual game ultimately being a digital code. https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/pc-gaming/games/products/cyberpunk-2077-collectors-edition/11094745.html https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/pc-gaming/games/product... It's not like pre-orders are objectively useless like some people may paint it. > The same market segment also rewards shitty game companies, producing half-finished, barely working product, with their money again and again Most people buying PC games aren't the ones buying top of the line dedicated GPU's for their gaming rigs. They also aren't ones who will scrutinize super technical details (nor even gameplay elements) as if they are Digital Foundry. Lotta weird generalizations here.
