Here's my personal weird gaming story of the month: I work at an eye research center. For some of our experiments, it's important they take place in as dark a setting as possible, so as not to activate photoreceptors in our eye specimens. Previously we had been using low wavelength red light, so that we could still see without disturbing the specimens too much. Then my boss had a brilliant idea. He came to me one afternoon and told me he had purchased a VR headset (Meta Quest 2), so that we would be able to see in infrared light, using it's passthrough function. So now at work, I walk around with a giant VR headset in a completely dark room so that we can do science. Ah, the world we live in.
That is amazing lol haha. Just make sure to not connect them to the internet, no way of knowing if facebook can watch theough your eyes into your research haha
On the chip shortage topic, I used to work as a sales manager for Honda for 5 years until last year. The same thing is happening at car dealerships, the manufactures have said they will no longer overstock their dealerships to keep prices and markups higher because of how profitable Covid was for all car manufactures. Mercedes was the first to announce it then everyone else followed behind.
Well, the cryptobros buying all the GPUs for their dumb crypto-scams has shown the companies what profit margins people are willing to still pay for. Once that's known, why would they lower the prices? And salty detail: If they do, a board of directors and CEO can get sued by their shareholders and even be removed from power. It's actually 'illegal' to reduce your profits in a lot of situations.
About the no lawsuits agreement: that's why in serious countries you can't put whatever on a contract. Anything on a contract that goes against laws should be invalid, always.
Exactly. Why not put on your 3000 page contract "Im allowed to murder anyone in your family" and then i guess legally you can murder any family members of who signs it?
This is why EULAs typically don't hold up in courts. I couldn't say which ones but some countries only consider a contract to be legally admissible if the parties involved negotiated the terms in the contract. Obviously no one is negotiating a EULA.
I have no knowledge on this subject but maybe it's to do with the seriousness of the law suit. I'm sure if they but that by using their console they're entitled to come murder your family, it wouldn't stand up in court as a viable excuse.
Something about the Nintendo wrestling match marketing that needs to be said is that pro-wrestling is very, very big in Japan. Culturally more bigger than in America I'd say, so I don't think it's too surprising that Nintendo used it as a marketing tool back when it was pretty much at the height of its popularity but still a remarkably cool find nonetheless.
@@girgrumpyorange1873 the video that was shown was a Smash Bros ad from the past yes but that's only because no one can find video footage of the wrestling match
@@CrolyGiart yeah, I've noticed a lot of games like this. Ubisoft for example has great environments, but the characters look awful. In general, character models aren't looking as good as I'd hoped they would.
Educational institutes too.

You are correct, keyboard and mouse are the correct way to play first person shooters but if you use keyboard and mouse on console it is just an advantage over those using controllers. This creates an uneven battlefield and divides the players and even gatekeeps some out especially when a good proportion of people on console have never used a keyboard and mouse for a game. I can see why they ban people who do this that are most likely just looking for a leg up on the competition and I support it. I primarily play on PC and can tell in cross play games and some controller supported games when someone is using a controller instantly and it never ends well for them.
A lot of people have never played Siege, so they don't understand. There is NO auto aim or aim assist in the game, so keyboard and mouse is practically cheating against controller players.
Thanks for stating this... I agree. I play both PC and console...consoles where built primarily with controller usage in mind... PC with keyboard and mouse. There is a noticeable difference when playing shooters between controller vs keyboard & mouse. I support investigating the options to "even" the field.
If you buy a console and it comes with a controller then you should automatically assume thats gonna be your primary input for the whole time on that console whether that be PS, Xbox or Nintendo, thats hows its been and should always be, the reason why so many crossplay games only allow cross play between consoles and excludes PC, so im glad ubisoft is taking some actions to create a fairer gaming space for console players so we can enjoy the multiplayer of the game without the stress of some dirty yute plugging in their keyboard to gain an advantage. Im not saying you shouldn't have the ability to plug in a key board but i do think its necessary to implement these barriers with certain competitive games, like R6.
@@tlrecords1308 thank you I actually hate cross play mainly because of that especially if you're playing any kind of multi-player shooter PC players have a huge advantage over console players I think the only exception for cross play that's fine is coop games
@@UwUOwl That's a Stupid comparison. Most PC games played with keyboard and mouse do Not have auto aim or aim assist. If you cannot naturally aim as good with controller as you can with a pc mouse shouldn't that tell you your controller is Crap? Get a clue buddy. Save yourself the headache and buy a PC for gaming.
As far as I can recall, there was something that made it difficult, if not impossible, to make using keyboard/mouse on consoles fair. Something on Sony/Microsoft's end, I think. I can't recall the whole story behind it. But if that's all true, simply making it controller vs controller only is probably for the best. Yes, keyboard and mouse is better for R6 Siege, but I guess just play on PC if that's what you want. Can't please everyone.
Or some kind of hardware detection in matchmaking lobbies. I don't think control means should be limited on any platform but an analogue stick simply can't do what a mouse can. It's always unadvisable to play controller on PC competitively but consoles are much more casual and only ship with a controller so allowing kb+m vs controller on console kinda feels like allowing doping in the olympics for those athletes who "just wanna".
Not that I care since I never understood what consoles are for and I don't play FPS games, but il I'm able to play with a controller on PC, why console gamers couldn't play with keyboard + mouse? Not fair? For who? Those who don't have keyboard + mouse? You know you can find bundle with both for 20 bucks, right?
@@LudoTechWorld First off the MnK offers a huge advantage over controller. Controller is native to the consoles so majority of people who play console use it. If you want mnk go to pc. Mnk is not native to console siege so you have to buy something that specifically allows you to use your mnk, its called xim. You can use controller on pc if you want because it supports both but mnk is default and more accurate which is why if you are mnk on console you should just do it on pc rather than spoil someone elses time.
Yeah I big disagree with the last story. Most people on console are using gamepads and M&K has a big advantage in shooters. This is coming from a person that plays most their games M&K.
If you've ever played siege with a controller against a keyboard and mouse, it's a very clear advantage. There is no aim assist, so being able to use a superior aiming device IS cheating. Console players have been wanting something done for several years now, and I'm happy that Ubisoft has finally decided to do something to bring players back.
@@TheVillainInGlasses it's not like people are choosing to use a controller over a mouse. you literally can't use a MnK on console for an FPS. It doesn't work. You have to use a controller because that's all that is recognized by the console. The issue is some people have found a way to cheat by buying devices that will trick a console into thiking a mouse is a controller (hence why is classified as spoofing) which gives them a huge advantage over people using controllers like they are supposed to. It's straight up cheating.
I absolutely love the idea that a game would shoot for a ultra realistic graphical style (but i love when a simple graphical style is used well like in Yakuza 0)
The fact that you named video sections 'Number X' is already insulting, but on top of that you dropped sources below in random order - is just a slap in our faces. "Thanks" for that.
Yes Falcon but there's people who are completely inadequate with keyboard and mouse but a person who's mildly adept at it will be a much better shooter aware of what's going on Around them and react just that little bit quicker than a person on controller even with the sensitivity turned all the way up
@@shmi1368 That's how I felt that's why I had to drop that comment cause I normally agree to disagree and most of the stuffy talks are right on point but that 1 right there is sure let's add keyboard support 2 systems but let's not make it seem like it's not a form of cheating for those who don't use keyboards
I brought up the fact that in both halo and cod there is no walk button so plenty of mouse and key cant sneak as when you slow move the Control stick you can move crouched and make very little noise compared to the normal crouch walk lol you can tell falcon is just trash af at FPS multiplayer games and only has really got his hands wet on older early 2000 pc shooters lol
I... actually use The Day Before. 😳 It isn't a calendar app, per sey, but a countdown app to whatever date you set it for, and you can make customized widgets on your home screen for them. I had one for the vacation my family took last month as well as one I still have going for Tears of the Kingdom's release day because I am indeed Zelda trash.
They're entirely different industries. The gaming company should be able to claim the name for their game since no one is going to confuse the calendar app for the video game 🤦♂️
@@NathaNeil27 well, I think in some sense, both are under "digital application" catagory, and the "The day before" app creator company is called... "The day before inc.", so I guess they affraid people will think they have anything to do with the game
@@NathaNeil27 Someone will. And i will completely blame that person, but someone will. But that's besides the point. Everything i've heard about the game makes me doubt it exists.
Great video, i wasn't a big fan of falcon stating that keyboard and mouse is the "right way" to play first-person shooters over and over like its objective though. Not everybody can get good with a mouse and keyboard so the right way is whatever works best for you. I do agree though that PlayStation and Xbox should support keyboard and mouse for first person shooter games at least.
Disappointed that the Nintendo Direct/CSUF story is not included here: Essentially, a student emailed a professor telling they better cancel class due to a "once in a lifetime" event that would happen the next day (feb. 8 2023). The vagueness of his email caused the professor to report it to campus police, which then caused the university to go on full-alert and it being patrolled by increased officers and bomb sniffing dogs. Needless to say, it was later confirmed that the student was talking about Nintendo Direct. Many students decided to skip class that day just out of precaution.
I agree about having Keyboard/Mouse support on Console. BUT then there also always has to be a Option to play in Controller-Only Lobbys. P.s.: The "right Way" to play 1st Person Shooters is the Way you want to play it. Even if you use a Racing Wheel and a Dance Mat.
Doing something like this would just lead to even more exploits, when M&K users quickly figure out how to convince the software that they're using a controller so they can play in controller-only lobbies. I game on PC and something that many controller users do is run a program that allows them to emulate other controller types or even M&K. It's best if M&K remains a PC thing. People only want it for console because they want an advantage. If they truly preferred playing with M&K all the time, then they wouldn't be on console in the first place.
Much as I enjoy Jake's videos, when Falcon narates, he just makes me laugh. When I first hear his voice at the start, I just sit back and thnk, "Yeah, this is gonna be good."
"Keyboard and mouse is the appropriate way to play FPS games" you're correct....for people who play on PC. Auto aim does not make up for the level of control you get with M&K that's just a fact. I agree with Ubisoft on this one, I hope input based matchmaking becomes more common.
It's important to keep in mind that AMD is not the only chip manufacturer to be undershipping their products. Nvidia also did this same thing to keep graphics cards prices high.
"The right way to play FPS" is a keyboard, Falcon? Heavy disagree here. With controllers, you actually have to be good, and aim. With a mouse, you just click on the person you want to shoot. So yeah, Ubisoft is right to consider the PC Easy-mode Race spoofing.
So much for AMD being the "good guys", at least with the competition Intel prices lowered a lot, my next pc will probably be Intel, currently using a R5 3600X.
It's worth the price if you have to pay it. AMD video cards are vastly superior to Nvidia. Intel is so bad at graphics they don't even deserve to be in the comparison.
Hey I have to disagree with number one a player shouldn't have to learn a new and completely different discipline like a mouse and keyboard just to gain a advantage in all fps. There's a reason most consoles don't have mouse and keyboard support for fps as they recognize this problem and they most likely will never do that as there not trying to have one side angry and another happy
Was watching on my tv and pulled up the app to say this. You have to play siege on console as a plat 2 controller player to feel the pain of going against a 5 stack mnk team, it’s not fair and it’s stupid and biased not to be able to see that point and then make it #1 of all things, calling it stupid and dumb lol
@@JustForfun-cf4ff I do play siege and I have gone against mmk teams/ players it's why I think ubi should focus on not banning the mmk devices but do what there doing to a more extreme extent.
Thank you! It's not like CoD 2019 that had multiplatform support at launch. It's already an 8 year old game that's only recently getting cross play support. Only way I could see it working is if they added aim assist which is a whole other can of worms or if they could detect your input device and set you up in mnk only lobbies but at that point why even bother still playing on console?
@@johnathanmaturino1208 about the detecting input devices thing, there are things you can buy to spoof your console into thinking it's a controller though, which is how mnk was such a big problem to begin with unfortunately. I think what ubi is doing now is the best way to combat it, especially if the input delay is permanent and applies to them when they switch back to controller too
Quantumania used this stagecraft/volume tech and I think it really suffered because of it. You can tell the actors are just in a small room even though the backgrounds look incredible.

The hammer glitch situation reminds me of RDR undead nightmare. I bought the disc back in 2011 or whenever it came out and for some reason in the beginning when you have to tie up Jack and Abigail, they spawn in as cougars, making them unable to be hogtied so all progress was halted and I cannot play past it. I’ve come back to it multiple times over the last decade and it’s the same thing. I’ve found videos with 20 or so views and a single Reddit post about this glitch, but even a decade later nobody seems to know about/have experienced this issue. I have yet to ever complete or even really play the undead nightmare story. Anybody else?
Is it crazy that we can have a game called the Day before, an app called the Day before, and a company called The Day before, and they can all just coexist without the need to fight over the name? Cause as a consumer, i'mma just look up the day before and then when different results pop up, select the one im actually looking for. It's not the first time ever that there's been two things with the same name...
About that #1 I don't think it's stupid because adding a M&K to R6 gives you a huge advantage against controller so they would have to push anyone using it over to PC servers and what the devices do is they trick the game and the system to think that the M&K inputs are controller inputs Also adding native support for it won't stop the problem it would only increase it because the things they use to trick the game can also do scripts and macros and on top of that the System & Game don't see it as a M&K they see it as controller so they would still be put in controller servers so your solution wouldn't work
Yah and the funniest thing about the whole situation of K&M over controller is that code wise there is no difference between the 2. The difference is the speed the corded M&K inputs the commands to a console. The controllers use a form of bluetooth which is still a little laggy. But corded is incredibley fast and the software has been getting increasingly better. yes you could use Bluetooth K&B but that's where this argument falls apart because regular K&M players know that Bluetooth K&M sucks and is laggy. Welcome to console player problems!
@@johncontralis4658 well the main thing is the difference in inputs like M&K have better recoil control, more precise aim, more range of motion, & the speed of the movements
10:50 I agree to a point, I personally still use keybaord and mouse but flick stick and motion controls are just as good as a mouse and we should get rid of aim assist altogether
Unreal engine is the best thing to happen to gaming, movies & advertising. The degree of creative freedom this epic Quixel unreal realism gives is going to unlock so much, especially in the future when the Metaverse is going to be ready to use photorealistic worlds instead of the current low poly limitations
Oh please most people have at least 1 or 2 keyboards and mice lying around in fact at minimum everyone should at least have a keyboard for their console it makes typing infinity faster
@@AzaiaMonota if u want to use mouse, go play on PC! we console players choose console b/c we don't like the feel of mouse and keyboard or havent been using it since childhood and therefore cannot comprehend there being so many buttons within such close proximity. Using a mouse against a controller in a game where it is 1-shot-1-kill to the head, gives a mouse user a SIGNIFIGANT advantage over a controller user. At minimum, mouse users should be in a seperate lobby. but us Siege console players r VERY serious about trying to get mouse users punished on cosole.
@@Busternutt69 having any entirely new movement option isn't cheating? mouse users can lean WITHOUT AIMING DOWN SIGHTS. controller players have to wait for the gun to be FULLY aimed down sights b4 they can lean. that feature ALONE should be enough to consider mouse in Siege cheating. add on the fact that it is 1-shot-1-kill to the head, and u can die with a simple flick? how it this not an advantage?
You very much missed the point of Number 1. I guess you've never played Siege, but this is a strategic FPS that aims to be as balanced as possible. Limiting input is a must here. Siege started out as a platform-based matchmaking game. There was no crossplay. Controllers are only allowed and anyone using a XIM was indeed spoofing their input, giving them a huge advantage. There is *NO* aim assist in this game on controllers. Only recently has crossplay been enabled, but it's only between consoles (what should be controller only). Again, the reason for this is so that players on controller don't go up against players using keyboard and mouse on PC. Choosing to render XIM players powerless with this spoof/input detection is a huge plus. Your opinion is completely stupid, not Ubi's new anti-cheat.
So the "proper way" to play a first person shooter on console is ONLY with a M/kb . "insert facepalm meme here" Even the most hardcore pc players never said anything THAT stupid.
A note on the siege mouse and keyboard issue.. Siege matchmaking is separate between PC and console unlike other multi platform shooters. This means controller only lobbies for the most part on consoles and to support this, they do not allow plug and play mouse and keyboard to make it fair to all players on console which is good because mouse and keyboard on console in this game specifically has a huge advantage. Siege is a tactical shooter unlike any other and the difference between mouse and keyboard and controller is really big. To get around this, console players are buying devices to trick and fool the game into thinking they are using controller, so spoofing is the correct definition. I like your guy's content and have agreed on your views for everything else, but this one, calling it stupid when in this case there seems to be a lack of research or information on your side is a misleading opinion to the wider community. I play on PC but I have played it on console before and Ubisoft are actually doing a really good thing here that is an innovation that other games will learn from and use in the future to maintain fair and competitive integrity.
@@Safetytrousers You should tune the draw distance of your head down a notch, that tends to help with rendering. Otherwise I'd advise to reboot and make sure you're running the latest drivers.
The ultra realistic graphics is something else, that plus a smooth VR gameplay experience and you have the next step in the videogame industry, as big as 3d was, even bigger.
Thank you for the keyboard and mouse comment! Playing CODMW2 right now on PS5 with a keyboard and mouse. Have since 2019, fully supported by Activision. Why, you might ask? Have you seen chip prices lately? Who can afford a PC? 🤣
That EULA thing is funny because iirc Microsoft/etc. started putting this in their EULAs rather recently. Also, they can file a lawsuit, but it has to be through a third-party, not directly.
Only if there’s a monopoly or collusion between companies. Many products are actually limited in distribution to avoid price collapse. If Intel just decided to follow along and limit supply, it’s still ok. If AMD and Intel got together and decided “hey let’s both limit supplies” that would probably be illegal (in the US).

if you want to use mouse and keyboard soooo bad on a CONSOLE. then go play on a PC with other m&k users. it is most definitely cheating when playing against controller users on RAINBOW SIX SIEGE. You are completely lost if you think otherwise.
This is rare but i absolutely agree with Ubisoft. Keyboard and mouse on a competitive console shooter is an insane advantage. I don't agree how they handled it, let people play the way they want and put the keyboard and mouse dudes and dudettes into their matchmaking but also I don't wanna jump into a game and lose to some asswipe sat at a desk with objectively better equipment. And no, I'm not gonna pay for a goddamn "offical" keyboard and mouse just to be at par with others playing the same game as me.
Falcon, love your videos, but you should revisit number 5. You flashed up a quarterly results that showed precisely what many companies faced. Rev may have increased but if you look at all the other numbers they went the opposite of good. Shortages drove up component prices (as supply/demand will do). Manufacturers ended up having to increase prices as a consequence. Now demand has slowed and prices are high for a different reason...
My thoughts on the whole rainbow six siege thing is about keyboard and mouse players is when a group of friends are playing against keyboard and mouse players they flick on them faster have more freedom than controll players and it makes it hard for controller players to compete against it, the number one player on Xbox is using keyboard and mouse not a controller, to controller players to them it’s cheating
The amd undershipping thing is quite a normal thing to do, it's not as nefarious as it sounds, it just means that demand was lower than expected so they had to adjust. I'm not saying they don't do that kind of thing, but it's not what they are referring to
Counterpoint: Because consoles use controllers by default, the “right” way to play a first person shooter on console would be with a controller, and not with a mouse and keyboard setup.
The wrestling match pictures were taken while Nintendo was marketing Super Smash bros new game for the Nintendo 64 in 1999. They organized an event called Slamfest '99 after the success of the Smash bros commercial for Nintendo 64. The event was sponsored by MGM and executed in the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas. It was live-streamed through a link that opened up RealPlayer but unfortunately not many people could access to it due to problems with the connection, thus explaining why there's almost no footage of it. You can find mentions of it in the book titled "The Ultimate History of Video Games" published in 2001 alongside with a picture of DK in the ring, and also in an article in the British magazine of "N64 magazine".
Nice video! I disagree with the controller thingy i think they should be banned in competitive games on console because its 100% a advantage using keyboard and mouse and that the one thing i like about consoles. Everyone has the same hardware!
I started on TI, Atari, and NES, but I've been a PC gamer since I was pretty young and first played the glory that is PC. There was nothing like Warcrft, Mechwarrior 2, Tie Fighter, flight Sims, or FPS on the consoles back then. When the consoles became powerful enough to run those games I may have switched if M&KB was a thing. But instead they just dumbed down PC games to work on consoles with controllers and we get no greats like those anymore
The first thing mentioned about WoW was already done years ago during Pandaria expansion. A players stayed in the Pandaria starting area and was able to get to max level without leaving. The excuse supposedly was the player didn't want to choose either faction. Number 7 is called Slamfest '99 it was streamed online as well. It isn't hard to find the video of it.
Manufacturers under ship products for a variety of reasons not just to keep markets high. In a lot of cases it comes back to things like manufacturing, supply chain and personal constraints. To provide one real world example I worked for an equipment manufacturer and we built about 20 machines a day. Now when covid hit and demand was high we could have upscaled to meet demand and built up to 45 a day but our supply chain wouldn't be able to support that all year. So what would end up happening is we would gear up to ship 45 machines a day only to run out of product and have a stationary line the last quarter of the year.
On the r6 MnK thing im just glad they are doing something about it, if you end up in a game with an MnK player and are using a controller you may as well set it down walk away and grab a beer and wait for the match to end
Of course! She probably sees CGI every day like the inside of the ISS or the CGI Earth they use for "outside" shots and can no longer tell the difference.
Im a Siege console player and us console players have been wanting mouse users on console to be punished since basically the release of the game. Using a mouse in a FPS against controller users is as unfair as using actual cheats since their level of control over their aim so such much greater. And to make this matter worse, in Siege, a headshot is a 1-shot-1-kill, so a simple flick can be u instantly dying when u barely even had time to register that u saw an enemy. I am playing on console b/c i am not any good at using mouse and keyboard. it is not a form of input that i can use to any decent skill level. if i could, i would be playing on PC. so the fact that Ubisoft is taking action against these mouse users on console pleases me very much. This should be standard practice for Mutiplayer Shooters. If u want to use mouse, go play on PC.
Story 5, this is why I don't upgrade except once per DDR generation. I waited until DDR5 came out to do a matured DDR4 high-end build that will last me for 5 years at minimum.
Sony and xbox don't want keyboards and mice to be a norn because if you get comfy with that then why not buy a pc where the quality and graphics are way better, and you can buy a controller if you really need to. Its all about keeping people in their ecosystems.
With CPU and GPU prices this high, alternatives become more and more enticing. And lets face it, but other than for 3D gaming, 3D rendering, high level video editing and streaming, we can do easily do with smartphone levels of performance. Which means that office PCs, media stations, vintage gaming and even optimized games easily can work with a 200€ range ARM or RISC-V based system.
I'd absolutely love to see Microsoft and Sony sell dedicated, couch-compatible mouse and keyboard sets for FPS's. Never thought of that as a first-party option before, but now that you brought it up, that'd be sweet to see become a reality
That artificial chip shortage is exactly how gasoline is going, especially in America. America is basically self sufficient with it's own oil supply and it's ridiculous that America set's their oil prices due to global oil markets.
#7 Has to be the MOST 90's thing I have ever seen. Granted Wrestling at the time in the US was ridiculously popular (We can't forget the "Monday Night Wars" that was going on between WCW and WWF at the time) so it makes sense to take advantage of said popularity, but visually this trippy imagery just screams 90s in the best way. As far as #1 is concerned, I'm just gonna say that doesn't seem necessary for the lieks of Microsoft and Sony to makign keyboars specifically for consoles. I can easily plugin both the USB keyboards I have in my PS4 and viola, I can for instance now play Warframe with Keyboard and mouse as all the OGs from the closed beta days on PC have (Its quite the adjustment I'll admit as a longtime controller player, but it can be done). Its so silly that Ubisoft is somehow offended by this yet I don't see any other company that publishes FPS games or similar style games making a big deal out of it.
5:36 Under shipping by definition is not attempting to create a shortage nor inflate pricing. There’s a good video by techtechpotato who is a tech analyst formerly journalist of anandtech on the subject. Essentially undershipping is when retailers have more than enough stock to satiate demand and so rather than creating stock that could either just not get sold or stay stuck in warehouses, they manufacture less till the demand & supply balance out again. That’s why they say they’re planning to stop undershipping because once that balance point comes they’ll just be able to maintain. What point would they have in stopping undershipping if they were just attempting to create superficial demand to increase pricing? If they could do that then surely they’d just always ship less…
5:24 they should change the name to "The Day Bee 4" implying it's about the life of a Bee that's like waking up early and going to work. That the Bee has aged a bit since this is it's 4th outing. It's Bee kids are starting to move out and it has to find new purpose for it's aging Bee life. But then when you actually play the game it has nothing to do with Bees.

Mercedes was the first to announce it then everyone else followed behind.
All the shortages where made up by the company's anyways
In second world countries like the US where markups are a problem anyway...
Well, the cryptobros buying all the GPUs for their dumb crypto-scams has shown the companies what profit margins people are willing to still pay for.
Once that's known, why would they lower the prices? And salty detail: If they do, a board of directors and CEO can get sued by their shareholders and even be removed from power. It's actually 'illegal' to reduce your profits in a lot of situations.

About the no lawsuits agreement: that's why in serious countries you can't put whatever on a contract. Anything on a contract that goes against laws should be invalid, always.
Exactly. Why not put on your 3000 page contract "Im allowed to murder anyone in your family" and then i guess legally you can murder any family members of who signs it?
This is why EULAs typically don't hold up in courts. I couldn't say which ones but some countries only consider a contract to be legally admissible if the parties involved negotiated the terms in the contract. Obviously no one is negotiating a EULA.
I have no knowledge on this subject but maybe it's to do with the seriousness of the law suit. I'm sure if they but that by using their console they're entitled to come murder your family, it wouldn't stand up in court as a viable excuse.
durrr what is arbitration lol
This crap wouldn’t get through in Germany. This is a contract that is not legal and therefore isn’t even a contract.
Something about the Nintendo wrestling match marketing that needs to be said is that pro-wrestling is very, very big in Japan. Culturally more bigger than in America I'd say, so I don't think it's too surprising that Nintendo used it as a marketing tool back when it was pretty much at the height of its popularity but still a remarkably cool find nonetheless.
It was a promotion for the original Super Smash Bros. on N64. They only ran that ad for about 2 weeks before it went away forever.

You are correct, keyboard and mouse are the correct way to play first person shooters but if you use keyboard and mouse on console it is just an advantage over those using controllers. This creates an uneven battlefield and divides the players and even gatekeeps some out especially when a good proportion of people on console have never used a keyboard and mouse for a game.
I can see why they ban people who do this that are most likely just looking for a leg up on the competition and I support it.
I primarily play on PC and can tell in cross play games and some controller supported games when someone is using a controller instantly and it never ends well for them.
A lot of people have never played Siege, so they don't understand. There is NO auto aim or aim assist in the game, so keyboard and mouse is practically cheating against controller players.
Thanks for stating this... I agree. I play both PC and console...consoles where built primarily with controller usage in mind... PC with keyboard and mouse. There is a noticeable difference when playing shooters between controller vs keyboard & mouse. I support investigating the options to "even" the field.
If you buy a console and it comes with a controller then you should automatically assume thats gonna be your primary input for the whole time on that console whether that be PS, Xbox or Nintendo, thats hows its been and should always be, the reason why so many crossplay games only allow cross play between consoles and excludes PC, so im glad ubisoft is taking some actions to create a fairer gaming space for console players so we can enjoy the multiplayer of the game without the stress of some dirty yute plugging in their keyboard to gain an advantage. Im not saying you shouldn't have the ability to plug in a key board but i do think its necessary to implement these barriers with certain competitive games, like R6.
@@tlrecords1308 thank you I actually hate cross play mainly because of that especially if you're playing any kind of multi-player shooter PC players have a huge advantage over console players I think the only exception for cross play that's fine is coop games
@@UwUOwl That's a Stupid comparison. Most PC games played with keyboard and mouse do Not have auto aim or aim assist. If you cannot naturally aim as good with controller as you can with a pc mouse shouldn't that tell you your controller is Crap? Get a clue buddy. Save yourself the headache and buy a PC for gaming.

As far as I can recall, there was something that made it difficult, if not impossible, to make using keyboard/mouse on consoles fair. Something on Sony/Microsoft's end, I think. I can't recall the whole story behind it. But if that's all true, simply making it controller vs controller only is probably for the best. Yes, keyboard and mouse is better for R6 Siege, but I guess just play on PC if that's what you want. Can't please everyone.
Or some kind of hardware detection in matchmaking lobbies. I don't think control means should be limited on any platform but an analogue stick simply can't do what a mouse can. It's always unadvisable to play controller on PC competitively but consoles are much more casual and only ship with a controller so allowing kb+m vs controller on console kinda feels like allowing doping in the olympics for those athletes who "just wanna".
Not that I care since I never understood what consoles are for and I don't play FPS games, but il I'm able to play with a controller on PC, why console gamers couldn't play with keyboard + mouse? Not fair? For who? Those who don't have keyboard + mouse? You know you can find bundle with both for 20 bucks, right?
@@LudoTechWorld First off the MnK offers a huge advantage over controller. Controller is native to the consoles so majority of people who play console use it. If you want mnk go to pc. Mnk is not native to console siege so you have to buy something that specifically allows you to use your mnk, its called xim. You can use controller on pc if you want because it supports both but mnk is default and more accurate which is why if you are mnk on console you should just do it on pc rather than spoil someone elses time.
Yeah I big disagree with the last story. Most people on console are using gamepads and M&K has a big advantage in shooters. This is coming from a person that plays most their games M&K.
@@evanshannon7182 WELL Said
This and "before you buy" are my favorite series
🤝
If you've ever played siege with a controller against a keyboard and mouse, it's a very clear advantage. There is no aim assist, so being able to use a superior aiming device IS cheating. Console players have been wanting something done for several years now, and I'm happy that Ubisoft has finally decided to do something to bring players back.
Or you could, yanno, use the appropriate input device for an FPS game.
@@TheVillainInGlasses it's not like people are choosing to use a controller over a mouse. you literally can't use a MnK on console for an FPS. It doesn't work. You have to use a controller because that's all that is recognized by the console. The issue is some people have found a way to cheat by buying devices that will trick a console into thiking a mouse is a controller (hence why is classified as spoofing) which gives them a huge advantage over people using controllers like they are supposed to. It's straight up cheating.
@@AD-df5tm I was using MKB to play FF14 all the way back on PS3. The consoles can absolutely recognize MKB lmao

bro this sounds SO weird out of context (still even with context)
You sound like a npc
Npc behavior
Yes Falcon but there's people who are completely inadequate with keyboard and mouse but a person who's mildly adept at it will be a much better shooter aware of what's going on Around them and react just that little bit quicker than a person on controller even with the sensitivity turned all the way up
first time i actually winced at a falcon opinion! usually i agree to disagree but that one is just awful
@@shmi1368 That's how I felt that's why I had to drop that comment cause I normally agree to disagree and most of the stuffy talks are right on point but that 1 right there is sure let's add keyboard support 2 systems but let's not make it seem like it's not a form of cheating for those who don't use keyboards
Falcon shouldn't even be talking about this such a bad take from him
I brought up the fact that in both halo and cod there is no walk button so plenty of mouse and key cant sneak as when you slow move the Control stick you can move crouched and make very little noise compared to the normal crouch walk lol you can tell falcon is just trash af at FPS multiplayer games and only has really got his hands wet on older early 2000 pc shooters lol
I can’t use keyboard and mouse when playing shooters. I’ve tried but my hands shake to much so it’s to hard for me.
I... actually use The Day Before. 😳 It isn't a calendar app, per sey, but a countdown app to whatever date you set it for, and you can make customized widgets on your home screen for them. I had one for the vacation my family took last month as well as one I still have going for Tears of the Kingdom's release day because I am indeed Zelda trash.

Great video, i wasn't a big fan of falcon stating that keyboard and mouse is the "right way" to play first-person shooters over and over like its objective though. Not everybody can get good with a mouse and keyboard so the right way is whatever works best for you. I do agree though that PlayStation and Xbox should support keyboard and mouse for first person shooter games at least.
Thanks for finding stories for us gameranx because they are actually weird & interesting to stay tuned in the world of gaming.
Disappointed that the Nintendo Direct/CSUF story is not included here:
Essentially, a student emailed a professor telling they better cancel class due to a "once in a lifetime" event that would happen the next day (feb. 8 2023). The vagueness of his email caused the professor to report it to campus police, which then caused the university to go on full-alert and it being patrolled by increased officers and bomb sniffing dogs. Needless to say, it was later confirmed that the student was talking about Nintendo Direct. Many students decided to skip class that day just out of precaution.
You do know that story was already covered in another video right?
@@Flashman024 Oh, was it? Shoot, I'm going to have to check it out. Thanks for bringing it up 😅
I agree about having Keyboard/Mouse support on Console. BUT then there also always has to be a Option to play in Controller-Only Lobbys.
P.s.: The "right Way" to play 1st Person Shooters is the Way you want to play it. Even if you use a Racing Wheel and a Dance Mat.
Doing something like this would just lead to even more exploits, when M&K users quickly figure out how to convince the software that they're using a controller so they can play in controller-only lobbies. I game on PC and something that many controller users do is run a program that allows them to emulate other controller types or even M&K.
It's best if M&K remains a PC thing. People only want it for console because they want an advantage. If they truly preferred playing with M&K all the time, then they wouldn't be on console in the first place.
@@ClassicalPan this, literally everything you said, spot on
Much as I enjoy Jake's videos, when Falcon narates, he just makes me laugh. When I first hear his voice at the start, I just sit back and thnk, "Yeah, this is gonna be good."
"Keyboard and mouse is the appropriate way to play FPS games" you're correct....for people who play on PC. Auto aim does not make up for the level of control you get with M&K that's just a fact. I agree with Ubisoft on this one, I hope input based matchmaking becomes more common.
Facts, another stupid Gameranx opinion to add to the list.
@@frankie5821 It's only a "fact" when someone tests it, otherwise a glorified opinion that makes one group feel better about their decisions.
It's important to keep in mind that AMD is not the only chip manufacturer to be undershipping their products. Nvidia also did this same thing to keep graphics cards prices high.
The whole market should be having a glut from all the mining cards that got dumped.
Whether strange or weird, it's just another day in the life of a gaming journalist
"The right way to play FPS" is a keyboard, Falcon? Heavy disagree here. With controllers, you actually have to be good, and aim. With a mouse, you just click on the person you want to shoot. So yeah, Ubisoft is right to consider the PC Easy-mode Race spoofing.
So much for AMD being the "good guys", at least with the competition Intel prices lowered a lot, my next pc will probably be Intel, currently using a R5 3600X.
It's worth the price if you have to pay it. AMD video cards are vastly superior to Nvidia. Intel is so bad at graphics they don't even deserve to be in the comparison.
This series is a Gameranx gem.

Hey I have to disagree with number one a player shouldn't have to learn a new and completely different discipline like a mouse and keyboard just to gain a advantage in all fps. There's a reason most consoles don't have mouse and keyboard support for fps as they recognize this problem and they most likely will never do that as there not trying to have one side angry and another happy
Fair enough
Was watching on my tv and pulled up the app to say this. You have to play siege on console as a plat 2 controller player to feel the pain of going against a 5 stack mnk team, it’s not fair and it’s stupid and biased not to be able to see that point and then make it #1 of all things, calling it stupid and dumb lol
@@JustForfun-cf4ff I do play siege and I have gone against mmk teams/ players it's why I think ubi should focus on not banning the mmk devices but do what there doing to a more extreme extent.
Thank you! It's not like CoD 2019 that had multiplatform support at launch. It's already an 8 year old game that's only recently getting cross play support. Only way I could see it working is if they added aim assist which is a whole other can of worms or if they could detect your input device and set you up in mnk only lobbies but at that point why even bother still playing on console?
@@johnathanmaturino1208 about the detecting input devices thing, there are things you can buy to spoof your console into thinking it's a controller though, which is how mnk was such a big problem to begin with unfortunately. I think what ubi is doing now is the best way to combat it, especially if the input delay is permanent and applies to them when they switch back to controller too
It’s crazy how accessible photo scanning is. May not be the best quality you can get, but I have generated quick 3D models with my phone.
Quantumania used this stagecraft/volume tech and I think it really suffered because of it. You can tell the actors are just in a small room even though the backgrounds look incredible.
It's still hard to like...feel like you're in the place with those LED screens. Sure it's way better than Sir Ian McKellan breaking down in between takes because he's in a green room trying to act against a tennis ball but you can still tell when things aren't quite right.
Yeah Quantumania was weird
Yah definitly not the future of TV/Movies. Disney has already started talking about moving on from the technology.
AMD saw a 17 year old story about Nintendo creating their own shortages and thought 'hey good idea'.
The hammer glitch situation reminds me of RDR undead nightmare. I bought the disc back in 2011 or whenever it came out and for some reason in the beginning when you have to tie up Jack and Abigail, they spawn in as cougars, making them unable to be hogtied so all progress was halted and I cannot play past it. I’ve come back to it multiple times over the last decade and it’s the same thing. I’ve found videos with 20 or so views and a single Reddit post about this glitch, but even a decade later nobody seems to know about/have experienced this issue. I have yet to ever complete or even really play the undead nightmare story. Anybody else?
Is it crazy that we can have a game called the Day before, an app called the Day before, and a company called The Day before, and they can all just coexist without the need to fight over the name? Cause as a consumer, i'mma just look up the day before and then when different results pop up, select the one im actually looking for. It's not the first time ever that there's been two things with the same name...
About that #1 I don't think it's stupid because adding a M&K to R6 gives you a huge advantage against controller so they would have to push anyone using it over to PC servers and what the devices do is they trick the game and the system to think that the M&K inputs are controller inputs
Also adding native support for it won't stop the problem it would only increase it because the things they use to trick the game can also do scripts and macros and on top of that the System & Game don't see it as a M&K they see it as controller so they would still be put in controller servers so your solution wouldn't work
It's cheating can't believe he thinks it's stupid
Indeed.. It's not stupid
Yah and the funniest thing about the whole situation of K&M over controller is that code wise there is no difference between the 2. The difference is the speed the corded M&K inputs the commands to a console. The controllers use a form of bluetooth which is still a little laggy. But corded is incredibley fast and the software has been getting increasingly better. yes you could use Bluetooth K&B but that's where this argument falls apart because regular K&M players know that Bluetooth K&M sucks and is laggy. Welcome to console player problems!
@@johncontralis4658 well the main thing is the difference in inputs like M&K have better recoil control, more precise aim, more range of motion, & the speed of the movements
10:50 I agree to a point, I personally still use keybaord and mouse but flick stick and motion controls are just as good as a mouse and we should get rid of aim assist altogether
That unreal engine stuff is actually kind of scary. That coupled with ChatGPT and recent deep fakes just scares the shit out of me.
Unreal engine is the best thing to happen to gaming, movies & advertising. The degree of creative freedom this epic Quixel unreal realism gives is going to unlock so much, especially in the future when the Metaverse is going to be ready to use photorealistic worlds instead of the current low poly limitations
It's not stupid for mouse ban. Some people can't throw away $2,000 for a decent gaming PC. It's cheaper to buy a console.
I disagree that keyboard and mouse should be supported on console. It’s a much easier way to play and gives an unfair advantage.
Oh please most people have at least 1 or 2 keyboards and mice lying around in fact at minimum everyone should at least have a keyboard for their console it makes typing infinity faster
@@AzaiaMonotaso? Most people playing a console prefer using a controller
@@AzaiaMonota if u want to use mouse, go play on PC! we console players choose console b/c we don't like the feel of mouse and keyboard or havent been using it since childhood and therefore cannot comprehend there being so many buttons within such close proximity.
Using a mouse against a controller in a game where it is 1-shot-1-kill to the head, gives a mouse user a SIGNIFIGANT advantage over a controller user.
At minimum, mouse users should be in a seperate lobby. but us Siege console players r VERY serious about trying to get mouse users punished on cosole.
lmao no, no it doesnt.
@@Busternutt69 having any entirely new movement option isn't cheating? mouse users can lean WITHOUT AIMING DOWN SIGHTS. controller players have to wait for the gun to be FULLY aimed down sights b4 they can lean. that feature ALONE should be enough to consider mouse in Siege cheating.
add on the fact that it is 1-shot-1-kill to the head, and u can die with a simple flick? how it this not an advantage?
You very much missed the point of Number 1. I guess you've never played Siege, but this is a strategic FPS that aims to be as balanced as possible. Limiting input is a must here.
Siege started out as a platform-based matchmaking game. There was no crossplay. Controllers are only allowed and anyone using a XIM was indeed spoofing their input, giving them a huge advantage. There is *NO* aim assist in this game on controllers. Only recently has crossplay been enabled, but it's only between consoles (what should be controller only). Again, the reason for this is so that players on controller don't go up against players using keyboard and mouse on PC.
Choosing to render XIM players powerless with this spoof/input detection is a huge plus. Your opinion is completely stupid, not Ubi's new anti-cheat.
So the "proper way" to play a first person shooter on console is ONLY with a M/kb .
"insert facepalm meme here"
Even the most hardcore pc players never said anything THAT stupid.
Yea I'm actually really glad Ubisoft is doing that, make it fair for everyone. M/kb is such an obvious advantage in a fps
git gud
A note on the siege mouse and keyboard issue.. Siege matchmaking is separate between PC and console unlike other multi platform shooters. This means controller only lobbies for the most part on consoles and to support this, they do not allow plug and play mouse and keyboard to make it fair to all players on console which is good because mouse and keyboard on console in this game specifically has a huge advantage. Siege is a tactical shooter unlike any other and the difference between mouse and keyboard and controller is really big. To get around this, console players are buying devices to trick and fool the game into thinking they are using controller, so spoofing is the correct definition.
I like your guy's content and have agreed on your views for everything else, but this one, calling it stupid when in this case there seems to be a lack of research or information on your side is a misleading opinion to the wider community.
I play on PC but I have played it on console before and Ubisoft are actually doing a really good thing here that is an innovation that other games will learn from and use in the future to maintain fair and competitive integrity.
If games get to the point, where we can transfer are consciousness into the game itself, then yes, things have become too real.
I dreamt playing a game that was totally within my mind. It was so good. It stopped when I tried to open the map and my brain couldn't render that.

Falcon's very last statement, "This is stupid", so very eloquent and just down right correct!
I remember watching an interview about elder scrolls 6 and some one on the team said they scanned in real life terrain into the game.
Thank you for the keyboard and mouse comment! Playing CODMW2 right now on PS5 with a keyboard and mouse. Have since 2019, fully supported by Activision. Why, you might ask? Have you seen chip prices lately? Who can afford a PC? 🤣
That EULA thing is funny because iirc Microsoft/etc. started putting this in their EULAs rather recently. Also, they can file a lawsuit, but it has to be through a third-party, not directly.
This is why you Don't agree to any Microsoft EULA.
Wait. Isn’t manipulating supplies to inflate prices illegal? Legit question.
Only if there’s a monopoly or collusion between companies. Many products are actually limited in distribution to avoid price collapse. If Intel just decided to follow along and limit supply, it’s still ok. If AMD and Intel got together and decided “hey let’s both limit supplies” that would probably be illegal (in the US).

I vaguely remember the wrestling footage. I seem to remember seeing it on TV back then.. Hard to remember but I do remember it. It wasn't for a commercial?
if you want to use mouse and keyboard soooo bad on a CONSOLE. then go play on a PC with other m&k users. it is most definitely cheating when playing against controller users on RAINBOW SIX SIEGE. You are completely lost if you think otherwise.
This is rare but i absolutely agree with Ubisoft. Keyboard and mouse on a competitive console shooter is an insane advantage. I don't agree how they handled it, let people play the way they want and put the keyboard and mouse dudes and dudettes into their matchmaking but also I don't wanna jump into a game and lose to some asswipe sat at a desk with objectively better equipment.
And no, I'm not gonna pay for a goddamn "offical" keyboard and mouse just to be at par with others playing the same game as me.
Falcon, love your videos, but you should revisit number 5. You flashed up a quarterly results that showed precisely what many companies faced. Rev may have increased but if you look at all the other numbers they went the opposite of good. Shortages drove up component prices (as supply/demand will do). Manufacturers ended up having to increase prices as a consequence. Now demand has slowed and prices are high for a different reason...
My thoughts on the whole rainbow six siege thing is about keyboard and mouse players is when a group of friends are playing against keyboard and mouse players they flick on them faster have more freedom than controll players and it makes it hard for controller players to compete against it, the number one player on Xbox is using keyboard and mouse not a controller, to controller players to them it’s cheating
The amd undershipping thing is quite a normal thing to do, it's not as nefarious as it sounds, it just means that demand was lower than expected so they had to adjust. I'm not saying they don't do that kind of thing, but it's not what they are referring to
Counterpoint: Because consoles use controllers by default, the “right” way to play a first person shooter on console would be with a controller, and not with a mouse and keyboard setup.
In my opinion controller is how FPS should be played
The wrestling match pictures were taken while Nintendo was marketing Super Smash bros new game for the Nintendo 64 in 1999. They organized an event called Slamfest '99 after the success of the Smash bros commercial for Nintendo 64. The event was sponsored by MGM and executed in the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas. It was live-streamed through a link that opened up RealPlayer but unfortunately not many people could access to it due to problems with the connection, thus explaining why there's almost no footage of it. You can find mentions of it in the book titled "The Ultimate History of Video Games" published in 2001 alongside with a picture of DK in the ring, and also in an article in the British magazine of "N64 magazine".
Nice video! I disagree with the controller thingy i think they should be banned in competitive games on console because its 100% a advantage using keyboard and mouse and that the one thing i like about consoles. Everyone has the same hardware!
I'm actually curious on how a person hacked and stole the source code to League of Legends. And why no one hasn't arrested the hacker anyway?
Great video as always, but I wish Niantic asking free Pokemon GO players to stay away from a public park made the list.

This generation of gaming it's possible to have this quality of graphics and I'm ready for it!
As a console gamer, I love what Ubisoft is doing. M&K should have to play M&K
You could almost say the level of detail is... Unreal 😏
😅
I started on TI, Atari, and NES, but I've been a PC gamer since I was pretty young and first played the glory that is PC. There was nothing like Warcrft, Mechwarrior 2, Tie Fighter, flight Sims, or FPS on the consoles back then. When the consoles became powerful enough to run those games I may have switched if M&KB was a thing. But instead they just dumbed down PC games to work on consoles with controllers and we get no greats like those anymore
The first thing mentioned about WoW was already done years ago during Pandaria expansion. A players stayed in the Pandaria starting area and was able to get to max level without leaving. The excuse supposedly was the player didn't want to choose either faction.
Number 7 is called Slamfest '99 it was streamed online as well. It isn't hard to find the video of it.

We won't see those unreal graphics until PS7 and Xbox 540 World Series X
I love my man Falcon. Very down to earth. I value his knowledge about all things video game. Keep up the great videos Falcon.
Manufacturers under ship products for a variety of reasons not just to keep markets high. In a lot of cases it comes back to things like manufacturing, supply chain and personal constraints. To provide one real world example I worked for an equipment manufacturer and we built about 20 machines a day. Now when covid hit and demand was high we could have upscaled to meet demand and built up to 45 a day but our supply chain wouldn't be able to support that all year. So what would end up happening is we would gear up to ship 45 machines a day only to run out of product and have a stationary line the last quarter of the year.
Speaking of bans, Valve permanently banned over 40,000 accounts that were using third-party software to cheat in Dota.
On the r6 MnK thing im just glad they are doing something about it, if you end up in a game with an MnK player and are using a controller you may as well set it down walk away and grab a beer and wait for the match to end
I showed my wife an Unreal 5 video set in Sequoia National Forest. She thought it was totally real. And we've BEEN there! It completely fooled her.
Of course! She probably sees CGI every day like the inside of the ISS or the CGI Earth they use for "outside" shots and can no longer tell the difference.
Im a Siege console player and us console players have been wanting mouse users on console to be punished since basically the release of the game. Using a mouse in a FPS against controller users is as unfair as using actual cheats since their level of control over their aim so such much greater. And to make this matter worse, in Siege, a headshot is a 1-shot-1-kill, so a simple flick can be u instantly dying when u barely even had time to register that u saw an enemy. I am playing on console b/c i am not any good at using mouse and keyboard. it is not a form of input that i can use to any decent skill level. if i could, i would be playing on PC. so the fact that Ubisoft is taking action against these mouse users on console pleases me very much. This should be standard practice for Mutiplayer Shooters. If u want to use mouse, go play on PC.
Story 5, this is why I don't upgrade except once per DDR generation. I waited until DDR5 came out to do a matured DDR4 high-end build that will last me for 5 years at minimum.
You left out the fact one of the main manufacturer for the chips, their facility burnt down. That made a massive impact.
3:03 the fact that the user name is 'ochinchin' is just icing to the cake lol
I don't think this was a coincidence lol
This was entertaining! Thanks for your hard work!
I'd pay to watch a bunch of Nintendo characters body slam each other for an hour
Sony and xbox don't want keyboards and mice to be a norn because if you get comfy with that then why not buy a pc where the quality and graphics are way better, and you can buy a controller if you really need to. Its all about keeping people in their ecosystems.
With CPU and GPU prices this high, alternatives become more and more enticing. And lets face it, but other than for 3D gaming, 3D rendering, high level video editing and streaming, we can do easily do with smartphone levels of performance. Which means that office PCs, media stations, vintage gaming and even optimized games easily can work with a 200€ range ARM or RISC-V based system.
I'd absolutely love to see Microsoft and Sony sell dedicated, couch-compatible mouse and keyboard sets for FPS's. Never thought of that as a first-party option before, but now that you brought it up, that'd be sweet to see become a reality
Still shouldn't be allowed in competitive games on console though, fine for single player and very casual games but absolutely nothing competitive
That artificial chip shortage is exactly how gasoline is going, especially in America. America is basically self sufficient with it's own oil supply and it's ridiculous that America set's their oil prices due to global oil markets.
#7 Has to be the MOST 90's thing I have ever seen. Granted Wrestling at the time in the US was ridiculously popular (We can't forget the "Monday Night Wars" that was going on between WCW and WWF at the time) so it makes sense to take advantage of said popularity, but visually this trippy imagery just screams 90s in the best way.
As far as #1 is concerned, I'm just gonna say that doesn't seem necessary for the lieks of Microsoft and Sony to makign keyboars specifically for consoles. I can easily plugin both the USB keyboards I have in my PS4 and viola, I can for instance now play Warframe with Keyboard and mouse as all the OGs from the closed beta days on PC have (Its quite the adjustment I'll admit as a longtime controller player, but it can be done). Its so silly that Ubisoft is somehow offended by this yet I don't see any other company that publishes FPS games or similar style games making a big deal out of it.
5:36 Under shipping by definition is not attempting to create a shortage nor inflate pricing. There’s a good video by techtechpotato who is a tech analyst formerly journalist of anandtech on the subject.
Essentially undershipping is when retailers have more than enough stock to satiate demand and so rather than creating stock that could either just not get sold or stay stuck in warehouses, they manufacture less till the demand & supply balance out again.
That’s why they say they’re planning to stop undershipping because once that balance point comes they’ll just be able to maintain.
What point would they have in stopping undershipping if they were just attempting to create superficial demand to increase pricing? If they could do that then surely they’d just always ship less…
5:24 they should change the name to "The Day Bee 4" implying it's about the life of a Bee that's like waking up early and going to work. That the Bee has aged a bit since this is it's 4th outing. It's Bee kids are starting to move out and it has to find new purpose for it's aging Bee life. But then when you actually play the game it has nothing to do with Bees.
“Why does Geralt have a hammer between his legs?” Is funny asf 🤣
