The article literally says they’re doing FSD and cheap, together.

What they aren’t doing is Cheap and Human operated.

It’s a choice of Cheap+FSD or Expensive+Human Controlled or FSD. There won’t be a cheap human operated model.

It probably won’t, but the article doesn’t say they’ve dropped FSD like the parent poster implied.

Remember when EA did a whole gaywashing thing after being voted worst company in America, two times running.

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

‘They are’

It’s usually measured as the performance doing a floating point fused multiply-add (fma) - that’s it.

But also, multiply then add is the cornerstone of 3D graphics…

Actually read the article: It’s the exact opposite, they’re still making the FSD version.

They’re not making the version that people can drive.

They needed the IP.

You can’t just build a 3D accelerator. It’s billions of dollars in licensing basic building blocks.

Easiest way to get in is to buy your way in.

Year of the ReactOS Desktop!

We did it!

Not possible for every device, plenty of TP-Link xDSL modem/routers out there.

Intel realized it back then too, but things didn’t pan out the way they wanted.

nVidia and AMD were going to merge while ATi was circling the drain. Then Jensen and Hector Ruiz got into their shitfight about who was going to be CEO of the marged AMD/nVidia (it should have been Jensen, Hector Ruiz is an idiot) which eventually terminated the merger.

AMD, desperately needing a GPU side for their ‘future is fusion’ plans, bought the ailing ATi at a massive premium.

Intel was waiting for ATi to circle the drain a little more before swooping in and buying them cheap, AMD beat them to it.

You think Intel is going to have 500-850mm^2 dies?

That’s what they need to compete in the GPU space.

For being employees of sanctioned companies…

Year 👏 of 👏 the 👏 Linux 👏 Desktop!

If the store only exists to make iPhones worse, then yes, that’s the point.

EGS will be full of Chinese Malware in seconds, Epic is owned by TenCent and China is in a war with the west.

Yeah I feel that, I didn’t like Horizon 5 due to that, I don’t want to be a superstar out of the gate, let me buy a clapped out mazda demio first.

Do you want themed racing games in different time periods?

If you’re using realworld(or alikes) cars, there isn’t really much more to go for, you’ve got circuit, street, rally, drift and touring cars - which really the only thing you can start to really differ is locale or time period.

F1 is F1 and F1 fans will slaughter anyone who tries to mess with F1. But also there are yearly games, since the rules change every year and the new game is the new rules.

Do you want more arcade style?

What are the indie games that have piqued your interest?

Nothing to say they won’t - it’s actually pretty uncommon for the studio developing a live service to be the one supporting/maintaining it long term.

No, I don’t think I will.

It must be nice to be so rich you can afford so many 8 hour games though.

That’s what the publishers keep saying, because it distracts from the real issue. (also- 3D artists, 2D artists and graphics programmers aren’t doing gameplay systems…)

The real reason is the monetization of play, if they make things too fun, you’ll keep playing some osingle player game instead of their expensive live service titles.

They make everything bad to try and prop up those live services.
