So, make good games for lower price, where the graphics is secondary, is the way to go? Who would've guessed! Thing is, it's easier for suits to push all the money into graphics, than attracting and keeping passioned developers and iterate on a good concept. Hire and fire is easier for them.

It's about time they fall on the nose. Give me mid sized games, for lower price and release good expansion DLC. That does reduce the risk for publisher and ultimately gives more control to players as well. But it might not hit the next sales world record and so on paper it looks worse to them.

But hey, indie devs have gladly filled that hole.

But then how could poor Nvidia ever hope to sell any more gpus waaaay above MSRP??

Hearts in the right place but nVidia are the ones who set Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price, as they are the creator of the item (I think technically they're LSRP cuz they license the tech but same idea)

They just set it stupidly fucking high for a laugh
