Battledield now throwing an error because Valorant is already sitting in kernel memory. Time to buy your EA Battlefield PC but don’t forget your Valorant PC

    It boggles my mind so many people give a shit about these awful franchises. Surely there is something else to play

      There is an audience for such games. Mainly for them to blow off steam and try to see if they’re a better crack shot than anyone, and sometimes to acquire a degree of fame. They have spent enormous amounts of money hoping to land more shots at a higher framerate.

      I’m now more content quietly playing an offline sandbox game, no rush at all.

      I think these franchises have people hooked on a FOMO drip somehow, maybe I’m wrong. I’ve never seen the appeal myself.

        Are you guys talking about Battlefield? A AAA fps with 128 players? With absolute bangers like 1942, Vietnam, 2142, 2, 4, and 1?

        No idea why people like it. Dead franchise imo

          Bad Company 2 and BF3 were great too :(

          Haven’t played any since, and definitely won’t defile my kernel with these new rootkit requirements.
