I think the only thing that's worse with the new Steam system is that everyone has to be in the same country.

If we still need to buy one copy of a gamer per simultaneous player,.then the rest of the differences are just ceremony.
Like I said, to me, the differences are not as cut and dry, it depends on you situation.
As for the virtual game card, Nintendo actually uses eject, load, and borrow in their article, so it sounds to me it's basically like a physical game you have to move between consoles, not just simple check.
I think you can argue if Steam does the whole sharing thing better than Sony or Microsoft. On Playstation and Xbox you can just by one copy of a game, but play it simultaniously with someone else, but it seems like that's limited to one other console (setting the home console).
On Steam you need one copy for every accout playing the game, but you can have 6 accounts in your family, and unlimited devices. Without family share, your own account can only play on one device at a time, but then, why not just make a new Steam account and join a family.
The virtual game cards from Nintendo are also like Steam, since they need one game copy for each player, but also only on one device.
Seems to me like Nintendo is not as good as the others, when it comes to sharing digital games. Sharing physical is of course still possible and easy on console.
but it’s about as good as what Steam does.
Explain, since I don't think that's true.
The release was "narrowed down" once already, so this doesn't mean anything.
Confirmed like the announcement on that one xbox show?
As a certified Trails hater I stopped paying attention with Cold Steel, but is this still the same terrible story, all the way back from Trails in the Sky or something new?
While I do prefer turn-based, I played through Pillars 1 last year, and with the tons of options for auto-pause it wasn't really that bad. BGEE was also fine, and my problems with the game wasn't RTwP.
I think KOTOR is the only Star Wars game I have ever played. I don't really care if this remake ever comes out, but I'd probably play it.
Don't think the last point is true, since there was a report recently that said almost 50% of game time over one month was spent on live service games.
Rebates are definitely normal, but as for your first point, I honestly believe AMD were just going to give them for the launch, and thought they could get away with it. AMDs marketing is so bad, that this makes the most sense to me.
Even a Reference Model wouldn't have mattered, in this case, because to me, it looks like AMD wanted to be too much like NVIDIA and set the price for the chips too high (which they sell to the partners to make the GPUs). That's why AMD needs rebates to get the cards actually to MSRP.
As for your third point, it looks like they didn't just prioritize brick and mortar stores, but only those in the US (see all the posts about Micro Center stock). Another genius move by AMD marketing?
Yeah, it would be insane if the game's also uninstalled, but that second system still needs to be at hand or someone needs to "eject" it. It's a really dumb system.
