Better technical support of GPU vendors for games isn't a technical reason?

It makes sense for almost every user and developer, due to better graphics support from GPU vendors and from Microsoft for Windows.

OK that's fair. Assuming the COVID disease impact does not get substantially worse than it has been, the camp 2) will be seen as the correct one. I can't imagine why it would get worse. Immunity of people gets better with time, an

I've noticed this is not U.S. specific, so it is not a political polarization in the traditional sense. The broader world-wide phenomenon, visible also here, is that most people got divided into two camps: 1) "COVID-19 is so dange

No. We don't cure viruses, we cure diseases. A disease like COVID-19 is launched by the virus and some antivirals may be found to be effective in slowing down/stopping replication. The severe cases of COVID-19 after a week have us
