Those companies would get in legal trouble in the US if they admitted to doing it intentionally by calling it a bait and switch. They hide behind legal shenanigans like putting ‘limited supplies’ in fine print.

Everybody hates being on the receiving end of bait and switch. Nobody thinks it is clever except the person committing fraud, and they hate it when someone does it to them.

Bait and switch is literally promosing something and fhen replacing it with something else, which is what happened here. It doesn’t imply any cleverness and has extremely negative connotations.

Bait and switch is a specific type type of fraud.

“I don’t understand that inexperienced people are inexperienced.”

Assuming they are referring to new graduates.

I just can’t upvote this trash story even though you are correct about the usual reason for upvoting posts even when the subject matter is terrible.

I have one about an hour away and no luck so far at that location.

Edit: oh damn, they are in stock today!

Edit2: it was one and now its gone :(

I would help out their GPU sales if they were ever in stock.

There is one! (not related to the article)

Eight inches ought to be enough for anyone!

Hard to recall them since I tend to drop them when I get stuck. If I look up a hint and find out it is something that never had any previous hints to figure out I also drop the game because nothing is more frustrating than guesswork.

Quality design will show you the important parts early on without needing to explicitly state them. Leaving that out in sequels is poor design.

Afger not playing the free games because I hate the launcher I stopped getting them after a couple of months.

AI returns incorrect results.

In this case semantics matter because using terms like halluilcinations, lies, honesty, and all the other anthromorphic bullshit is designed to make people think neural networks are far more advanced than they actually are.

Cool, cool. Lemme know when they are in stock

That is correct, it isn’t an exact scaling for every single texture yo the setting which is why I said I don’t need most hi res textures at a lower resolution. Many his res textures are not used at all on lower settings even if some are, and the developers would know wbich are needed and which are not.

You can usually set that in game although the settings are usually vague (low, med, high, ultra, etc.)

I must have missed them!

We did?

I look forward to the day that game companies start making hi res textures an optional part of the installation. I don’t need all of the textures used for 4k when I’m running in 1440p High. They are just wasted space on the hard drive.

For the user interface they can easily inform the user which options are restricted if they don’t install the textures.
