From GameWatcher: "It's no secret that Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics cards sold insanely fast as soon as they became available. Many people didn't get a chance to grab one from the initial stock, among them Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios.
The developer revealed that it still doesn't have an Nvidia RTX 3080, although that didn't stop it from fixing "graphical quirks" that people lucky enough to own a card were experiencing while playing Baldur's Gate 3."
With so many live-service games to choose from it can be incredibly overwhelming to decide what to play these days.
Gta from 2008 can at times have ten times the player count than suicide squad 2024.

There is a pool of players that want to be milked bdsm style that pool is not growing as fast as the amount of players that are needed to support so many of these live service titles. The limited time crap is also a chore for alot of users like how diablo 4 forces user's to max out a character every 3 months to get the new gear.
I think GaaS proves not every game needs to be GaaS. Sony’s finding this out the hard way.
What? Live service is there to milk money. Even if BG3 had 5 mil concurrent players it still wouldn't generate any extra money, that is the point of live service and for u to not own anything. BG3 being popular will sell more copies sure but this is not the point. And this is one of the best and biggest game in recent history of course it will have good numbers, it is relatively new too. I get what you are getting at but you are kinda brute forcing your point. Kinda of a no brainer take anyway tbh
What dumb sh!t article and thinking is this that concurrent players means a thing worth talking about? It has zero influence on how much lifetime money these companies make. Bg3 sold millions of copies at 60 dollars a pop and made bank. Having a bunch of players later on revisiting the game does little to say anything other than ppl like to play it. If the numbers go down compared to a live service game it makes no difference.
Tldr: concurrent players means nothing for single player games amd this article is a waste of time on what must have been a slow news day
Rare, the developer behind pirate adventure Sea of Thieves, has introduced a dedicated dog park to its studio grounds for employees' good boys and girls.
Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.
I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.
A new PlayStation Malaysia tour video shows what looks to be concept art for Bluepoint's next game.
Another shooter? Yawn. Thought the prevous concept looked more fantasy.
Looks like my dream of them remaking Metal Gear Solid is over, still cant wait to see what they are cooking up.
Nvidia, just get back one RTX3080 from an 'influencer' and lend it to Larian.
It was kinda a paper launch and even nowadays big retailer or webshops get them by the dozens at a time instead of 100s
Sorry but i think Larian must be trolling us. I mean their PR team could easily ask one from Nvidia. And i'm sure Nvidia must be having a healthy number of 3080s and 3090s for such occasions.
First, the card matters less than the drivers, so it makes little sense to even test with a 3000 series since the drivers are so new.
Second, "test with prior to launch," is incorrect, it hasn't launched, its still in early access and wont release this year.
Ask MSI they could get you one of their cards that they’ve been scalping and are now selling for double the price.
Caught red handed, absolutely no doubt they’re not the only ones in the business doing it.
