Doesn't look like the production capacities will be needed for much longer anyway, right?

Are you serious?

Because "Modern pizza originates in the US" is a stretch, unless you consider those "deep dish" atrocities the modern standard.

I've recently upgraded to a 7900 XT graphics card and am running it at 3.0x16. A new SSD is waiting for me as well, which will actually be bottlenecked by my B450 board. It is what it is and will make no real world difference to me; the B450 will have to make do until AM6 is released.

CEO and corporate bullshit aside, it's sad what the series became before Volition was eventually shut down. The first game could probably be described as a GTA clone, without being harsh. The second game was fantastic, at least if you disregard the flawed PC port. I played it on Xbox 360 back in the day and to this day, the cut scenes are some of the best I've seen in a video game. The side activities were bonkers, overall just a great game. Saints Row: The Third was pretty ambitious and I didn't like the over-the-top scenario with aliens and whatnot. Saints Row IV was okay-ish, but lacked focus and direction. I was glad that I played it several years after its initial release for a very low price.

Saints Row as a franchise is pretty much exemplary for the game industry in this day and age. They release a good first game, which is fun despite some flaws. Then they improve on that and release a fantastic second game in the series. It sells well, so they decide to hire more people, expand the scope and make a more over-the-top third game. That still sells well, but somehow feels erratic and hollow. Then they continue the downward spiral until the suits pull the plug after five games and the studio is disbanded. Money is killing the game industry, but not the way the corpo from the article thinks.

Now I feel challenged to do the same and have my inactive account banned.
