Definitely not like OUR (in the sense of owning from community perspective). No seriously, I pronounce it like most do and say each letter on their own like a pirate.

lol I just found my 7 year old post on Reddit (when Reddit was cool) of a Epig Games logo creation: https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/comments/bvw5ru/epig_games/

I'm glad that Tim Sweeny and its Epig Games Store is not the market leader.

It was inevitable.

Ah crap. Since months I was thinking of adding more RAM. My current 32gb is sufficient and not low at all. But those stuck with 16gb need to wait longer now. The prices will come down, right? Right?

I saw a video where Call of Duty players fight a giant. I mean I personally like fantasy games like Guardians of the Galaxy, but I can understand if CoD fans want to have a CoD game and not GotG.

Money is money. Especially if its only porting over an existing game, that does not require too much money for, as it is in an engine made for this anyway. And it shows there is potential for grows. I don't know about the numbers you just throw in, and how it compares in reality. So not commenting on that. Also the GAmes and Network Services, are these only Sony releases or are there third party games included?

But what we do know is, that some games like Helldivers 2 are far more successful than some other games they have. If the games were put day one on Steam besides the Playstation release, and without requiring Playstation account on first day, it would probably have made more money.

I wouldn't dismiss this as just "nice extra market". Otherwise why would Sony give up the exclusivity of their first party titles? Steam grows rapidly and is already bigger than the Playstation 5 user base will ever be.

Wait what? I thought Sony games on ~~Playstation~~ (Edit: Steam) all require a Playstation account. So this is no longer the case? How long has it been and did I sleep under a rock?

Can't wait for the Playstation store and then Sony comparing how much money they make there. I would be fine with timed exclusivity to their store, but all their games should come to Steam. Without an account requirement or store front on top of it. Then Sony would get my money too.

It depends on the games you want to play. Maybe the Intel Arc B570 with 10gb VRAM is a good place to start: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/Yvbypg/acer-nitro-oc-arc-b570-10-gb-video-card-dpz4cwwp01 Although it seems only one shop has it for under 200 right now. Other shops have it slightly above, at 230 or so. At that price range, you could get a pretty good AMD RX 6600: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/NdvdnQ/asus-radeon-rx-6600-8-gb-dual-video-card-dual-rx6600-8g If you must stay below 200, maybe the Nvidia RTX 3050 with 8gb VRAM is an option: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/ZPP8TW/asus-dual-oc-v2-geforce-rtx-3050-8gb-8-gb-video-card-dual-rtx3050-o8g-v2 (note that there are 6gb variants of this card too, which are a bit cheaper).

Otherwise there is not much you can do. Maybe look at used cards instead.
