not only industry and sector dependent, also dependent on the country. at least in my personal bubble (in Germany), remote work is still very common. I also heard from companies who openly advertise remote work and get much more job applications because of it.

yeah, same. from all the ones I tried, I stuck with Liftoff. seems like the most functional and simplistic one to me.

here, have my upvote. but please don’t tell anyone.

It just confuses me a little this happens to a game that is being waited for so badly. If they would be confident to successfully sell their game to end users, they wouldn’t need to force it on AMDs customers.

that’s true. i think there are two sides to it. on the one hand, there are also a lot of people upgrading their system specifically for Starfield… for those people, a Ryzen CPU/GPU gets a lot more attractive if the game they are building their new rig for comes with it and you save those 70 bucks. on the other hand, Bethesda and AMD make a big deal out of their “technological partnership” for this game, so it only seems logical to also have the game bundled with AMD hardware.

that’s a pretty weird take. just because other games that came with AMD were bad, doesn’t mean all of them are. Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Last Of Us Part 1, Uncharted, Far Cry 6, Deathloop, Borderlands 3, The Outer Worlds… none of those are bad games. i think game bundles just represent the general gaming experience. some games are good, some are bad. but just because a game comes in a bundle, doesn’t automatically mean that it will suck.

sounds like they should have asked u/spez for some advice on API pricing. /s
