EA Will Reach 1 Million Reddit Downvotes for Defending Microtransactions
I present, the most downvoted comment in Reddit history: This was posted in response to outrage regarding how much unlocking new characters would cost (It’s about twice what you’d expect to pay for a very polished, new indie game). To be fair, you can earn enough points to unlock new characters… after about 40+ hours of gameplay.

The gaming industry is larger than the film industry now.…

MSI GTX 1070 Ti Benchmarks VS GTX 1080 & GTX 1070
The Nvidia GTX 1070 ti is here. The card fits into an interesting place, between the GTX 1070 and the GTX 1080. You will see several different versions of this card, but notice that they are all at or around the stock speed. The reason for this is likely due to the fact that overclocked or extreme-edition cards would probably be about as fast as a stock GTX 1080, thus cannibalizing on that market some. So, you are paying extra for the fancier PCB, heatsink, VRM, etc. so you can better overclock the card yourself. Check prices: MSI GTX 1070…
