I heard a sound reading this and I think it was the crypt of Origin Systems exploding open
i also think we can definitively declare now: ea should have never bought bioware, it was always a poor match and they were never handled properly under ea's ownership

Make another PSP. No, not like that. I do not mean a Sony-branded Steam Deck. I mean make another PSP. 64 megabytes of RAM, 333 MHz CPU, 0.26 TFLOPS GPU. That is all you really need to make excellent and compelling video games, and it would be dirt fucking cheap to manufacture. Sell it for $50.
The $500 console is dead. Even after the RAM crisis ends, the era of affordable gaming hardware is gone for good. https://bit.ly/3ROAvpc
