69% of Gen Z are nice to ChatGPT because AI could soon decide who gets fired

Yana 21. May 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Generation Z not only uses ChatGPT as a practical tool, but surprisingly treats the AI politely. A study shows that many young people fear that ChatGPT or similar AI systems could become their bosses in the future.

Which study is being referenced? In spring 2025, a study (via EduBirdie) was published, surveying 2,000 Generation Z individuals from the USA. The study aimed to understand better how Gen Z uses artificial intelligence in their daily lives. It found that 69% of them consciously say “please” and “thank you” to ChatGPT. Many of them fear that artificial intelligence could replace their bosses in the future and want to get on its good side now.

This attitude gains even more significance when considering the recent statement by Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. At the end of April, he stated that the constant politeness phrases with ChatGPT incur significant costs for the company.

AI can now achieve a lot and even earn money. Watch this video of a model who earns around 10,000 euros a month, even though she is not real.

Start video

“We have created a monster” – A Spanish model earns up to 10,000 euros a month, yet she is not real

Fear of the Future Drives Kindness

What leads to this politeness? The politeness primarily stems from the fear of job loss. 55% of respondents believe that AI will take over their jobs within the next ten years. Therefore, 10% of Gen Z wish for their boss to eventually be a virtual agent. In this sense, politeness is a form of future-proofing; they don’t want to anger AI in case it takes over power in the workplace.

As various cases show, Gen Z’s fear of AI in the workplace is not unfounded. More and more companies are relying on AI and thus cutting jobs. According to a statistic (via AIRPM), 37% of companies have already replaced tasks with artificial intelligence. An example is the tech giant IBM, which has already replaced about 200 positions in human resources with AI. According to reports (via Cio), the role of “HR Business Partner” has been almost completely eliminated.

How is AI used in daily work life? But AI is mainly a practical helper in the daily work life for the younger generation. 62% regularly use AI tools like ChatGPT to carry out tasks such as writing emails or responding to messages. At the same time, 40% of Gen Z worry and consider changing their profession to avoid being displaced by automation.

The Humanity Behind Artificial Intelligence

Why is ChatGPT seen as a “better” boss? According to the study, many young people even see AI as “more human” than many human bosses. They often perceive traditional leaders as stressed, toxic, or unfair, while AI is seen as a neutral, respectful, and potentially fairer boss. Of course, AI currently lacks empathy, ethics, and creative thinking that characterize human leadership, but the hope for a more objective leadership relationship is palpable.

This role AI plays in private life: Beyond work, ChatGPT also plays an emotional role for people. The study shows that 26% consider AI a friend, 16% see it as a kind of therapist, and 12% even as a fitness coach. ChatGPT is also used for personal matters, such as formulating apologies or breakup letters.

What risks does the use of AI entail? Despite the advantages, there are also risks associated with heavy AI usage. 21% of respondents reported having shared sensitive company data with AI tools, often without being aware of security aspects. Furthermore, only 31% of users always check the AI’s answers for accuracy, which can lead to misinformation.

A growing trend in the tech industry clearly shows the direction things are heading: companies like Microsoft and Meta are actively working to integrate AI into software development. This not only optimizes processes but also increasingly replaces human developers. Kevin Scott predicts that by 2030, about 95% of the code will be written by AI, Zuckerberg sees it similarly.

In a new action RPG on Steam, you defend ancient India against a demon invasion – alone or in co-op

Ody 21. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A new action RPG on Steam and Epic Games takes you to ancient India, where you fight against an invasion of powerful demons – with reinforcements if you wish.

What game is it about? It is about The Age of Bhaarat, the first game from the Indian developer studio Tara Gaming. The developers aim to pack characters and monsters from Indian epics into a AAA game.

You can watch the first trailer for the game here:

“Black Myth: Wukong” in ancient India

What kind of game is it? The Age of Bhaarat is an action RPG set in a dark fantasy version of ancient India.

You play as a powerful “Forest Warden,” who has access to mystical weapons and arcane powers.
As such, it is your duty to defend your homeland from an invasion of demons – the so-called Rakshasas.

The story of the game comes according to Steam from Amish Tripathi, a bestselling author from India, who is primarily known for his Shiva trilogy and the Ram-Chandra series. The developers promise an “epic story of duty, betrayal, and ancient power” that you can change with your choices.

In terms of gameplay, The Age of Bhaarat is reminiscent of Black Myth: Wukong. The action RPG from China was released in 2024 and made a splash on Steam. Wukong was even in the running for Game of the Year, where it lost to the disappointment of many.

Your Warden fights with a polearm (here it is a spear) against vile monsters and demons.
The graphic style is very realistic, and the atmosphere is rather gloomy, although the world appears a bit more colorful than in Black Myth: Wukong.

Additionally, you have a grappling hook at your disposal. This is meant to help you not only cross chasms but also be useful in combat.

The ’18+’ game Stellar Blade was so successful on PS5 that a sequel is coming – Such an early release is ‘crazy’

Jasmin Beverungen 21. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Stellar Blade fascinated many fans on PS5 and Steam, which is due to several factors. The success is so great that the developers are now planning a successor.

What about the success of Stellar Blade? The huge success of Stellar Blade came about due to several factors:

The PS5 version has been technically sound from the beginning, which is no longer a given for some video games nowadays
The release on Steam also contributed, from which the developers expected quite a bit
The developers treated it like a live service game, even though it isn’t one
The revealing outfits and curves of protagonist Eve are a nice bonus, which in combination with drastic representations of violence led to an age rating of “18+”

This allowed the development team from Shift Up to increase its revenue by 30% compared to the previous year, thanks mainly to Stellar Blade. It’s no wonder the team is already working on a sequel. And it seems that the release is just around the corner.

Sequel to Stellar Blade is coming sooner than expected

When is the sequel supposed to be released? As IGN reports, the sequel is already visible in the developer’s release plan. A slide shows the expansions of IPs like Nikke, Project Witches, and also Stellar Blade.

After the introduction in 2024, Stellar Blade has the platform extension and also the sequel. Both blocks are scheduled for before 2027. This means that the successor will probably be released next year, thus in 2026.

How is this received by fans? In the Reddit forum, many players are discussing the upcoming release. User HydraTower puts it aptly, stating that “before 2027” is crazy. Additionally, there are many commenters who are looking forward to the imminent release.

However, there are also critical voices: User AgitatedFly1182 thinks it could lead to a situation similar to that of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask. In that case, the sequel took many assets from the original and “only” changed the gameplay, lore, and story.

User Gornub believes that there could be enough material for a sequel. However, he hopes that the developers would put as much effort into the story, characters, writing, and voice acting as they did with the outfits.

Fan completes all achievements in Diablo 4, but there is no reward

Nicole Wakulczyk 21. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Diablo 4 there are numerous tasks to complete. A player has achieved 100% of the challenges in the ARPG – including the expansion “Vessel of Hatred.” As a reward, there was… absolutely nothing.

What are these achievements? To unlock all achievements in Diablo 4, one must fight through a variety of tasks. Among these are:

defeating a number of specific enemy types,
collecting legendary aspects in the regions of Sanctuary,
leveling up all classes and mastering various challenges with them,
farming special materials,
completing PvP fights against other players,
and playing in hardcore mode.

A player has taken on this colossal task, first completing the main game and then also finishing all challenges of the “Vessel of Hatred” expansion. On Reddit, he shares what he received as a reward for this – or rather, what he did not receive.

“Achievements that take ridiculous amounts of time are the worst”

What does the player say about the reward? In his post on Reddit, VeryGooDiS reports that he has achieved 100% of the achievements in Diablo 4 and the DLC. There was no reward for this. This is unpleasant, as even for Paragon level 300 or top 100 in solo and group leaderboards, there were at least cosmetics for the mount, he explains. However, there is nothing here.

The community congratulates him on this achievement. Some ask which tasks drove him the most crazy. His answer:

Hardcore achievements, as he absolutely dislikes hardcore. Especially completing 300 Paragon levels in hardcore and 50 legion events in Nahantu were hard and extremely annoying. Both require an insane amount of time.
Collecting 100,000 coins in the citadel, as this is a task that demands an extremely high time investment and requires at least one other person who ideally knows what to do and has the right gear.
Killing 666 blood maidens in the hell flood in Nahantu, as you need materials to summon them. Moreover, the hell flood does not spawn every hour in Nahantu. According to VeryGooDiS, it happens every 4-6 hours.

His conclusion: The worst achievements are those that simply “consume ridiculous amounts of time.” Even if you try to combine everything, it takes forever, he writes in the comment.

In the comments, others ask if the achievement of defeating 6,666,666,666 treasure goblins was included. However, he notes that this is a heroic deed – and the heroic deed tasks do not count towards the 100 percent rating, VeryGooDiS mentions.

He is indeed not the only one who has played Diablo 4 to 100%. Another player has also completed all challenges. And even now, having achieved this, he does not stop – because for him, the grind is not over. Even after over 4,000 hours, he still enjoys Diablo 4 and says: It’s not as bad as everyone says.

A character in Warhammer 40,000 is so well written that fans hate him as passionately as Joffrey from Game of Thrones

Benedict Grothaus 21. May 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Over the decades that the world of Warhammer 40,000 has existed, hundreds of notable characters have stood out. Thanks to the immense audience, every facet of the world has at least a small following. However, one man stands out: Erebus, whom most deeply hate.

In the world of Warhammer 40,000, there isn’t really “good” and “evil”; everyone is at least a little brutal or fanatical. It always depends on one’s own perspective and which views one can best identify with.

Except for Erebus. Erebus is the man through whom the Horus Heresy came to be, the war that nearly destroyed the entire Empire. He is the person who converted Lorgar and Horus to Chaos.

The character is so profoundly evil that even the best devil’s advocates find it hard to highlight anything positive about his behavior. And that’s what makes him such a fascinating figure for the community.

On Reddit, a fan asks whether Erebus and the Word Bearers are really that hated, or if it’s just a big meme. The most frequently given response: “Fuck Erebus.”

Start video

Autoplay

“A poorly written character wouldn’t receive so much hate”

To give you a little background on why people hate Erebus: He is not only responsible for Lorgar and Horus falling to Chaos, he was already an exceptionally conspicuous character as a child. In his life, he has committed numerous offenses, such as:

strangling a child named Erebus to assume his identity (no one remembers his real name)
killing Erda, a woman of the same species as the Emperor, which required him to summon four Greater Daemons
planning the treachery of Isstvan III, in which tens of thousands of Space Marines and several billion people died – after the use of an exterminatus in the form of a virus bomb, which even the Empire usually hesitates to deploy
reportedly resurrecting the daemon Samus, who haunted the Empire for years afterwards

When Erebus first saw the Emperor of Mankind, he immediately realized that he wanted to overthrow this person. For this reason, he gradually led Horus and Lorgar along with the entire Word Bearers and the Luna Wolves to Chaos with a nefarious plan. He is the cornerstone of the Great Brother War.

Additionally, he is in many ways quite a wimp. He is not a daredevil and not an especially good fighter (compared to other heroes and villains), but simply an intriguer – similar to Gríma Wormtongue from The Lord of the Rings. Erebus rarely fights himself; he lets others do the dirty work.

The Joffrey Baratheon of the 41st Millennium

Virtually no one can condone what Erebus has done. Nevertheless, some users on Reddit explain that you have to love Erebus for what he is: the means to convey all that is evil in Warhammer 40,000.

If his story and he himself weren’t so well written, you couldn’t hate him that much: “As a character, he is great, but as a person, he is absolutely despicable.” (via Reddit)

Some users even compare Erebus to Joffrey Baratheon from Game of Thrones. Joffrey is widely regarded as the most hated character in Game of Thrones because he is simply a sadistic narcissist with no morals or scruples.

As viewers, we intuitively hate everything about him – and that’s exactly what good writing shows; otherwise, a character couldn’t evoke such strong emotions. Nevertheless, there are at least some people with Erebus who admire him for his determination (via Reddit). You have to know…

“Erebus is something like the original heretic”

Warhammer thrives on conflicts; the entire lore would not yield anywhere near as much if there weren’t constant wars and strife. One user even goes so far as to explain: “Warhammer 40k only exists because of Erebus.”

In fact, he deserves to be celebrated for it, but he is simply so incredibly unsympathetic, treacherous, and cowardly that he becomes one of the “most despicable figures” in the universe.

Many characters in Warhammer divide the community, being hated by some and loved by others. Erebus is one of the few exceptions, as he virtually has no supporters, save for a few misguided souls.

However, it is exactly such characters that allow stories to continue and engage fans in discussions about the world, sometimes intensely. Some of the key figures in the world are controversially discussed due to the many ways to view the Warhammer universe: Is the Emperor in Warhammer 40,000 actually “good”? Fans discuss and come to dramatic conclusions

A feature that every game has, you can miss in Pokémon Sword & Shield if you ignore a type

Jasmin Beverungen 21. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Pokémon Sword & Shield is the first generation that has made the leap into a 3D world. However, even though the title was released just 6 years ago, it lacked an important option by default.

Which setting is it about? Most games have the option in their settings to individually adjust the volume. In Pokémon, for example, these are the background music, sound effects, and the cries of the pocket monsters.

With this option, you can increase the dialogue volume if the background music is too loud. When you are in a chat with friends, some sounds in online games are also more important than others. After all, you need to know when you encounter an enemy or when the boss enemy uses a certain attack.

However, this option is so hidden in Pokémon Sword and Shield that many players probably haven’t even unlocked it.

Pokémon hides an important function behind NPC

How do you get it? To unlock the settings, you need the item Top Earplugs. However, you can only get it by speaking to a specific NPC in Engine City. This NPC is located about in the middle level of the city, at the northern end to the right of the main path.

If you don’t talk to the NPC, you miss the option to customize the soundscape. The game doesn’t notify you in any way that the setting is hidden behind an item.

What do fans say about this? On TikTok, user oslith notes in shock that he is already on his second run but just now became aware of it. In his first playthrough, he spoke to every NPC and obtained the item, but didn’t actively realize that this unlocked the option.

In his new playthrough, he has already spent over 32 hours, but still never noticed that the function was missing from the options. He played “as if on autopilot” and apparently ran through all the cities without talking to every NPC.

He finds it crazy that such fundamental settings are hidden in such a strange way in the game. Many users in the comments also note that this is a function for more accessibility. Such an option should not be hidden so awkwardly.

Players find out after hundreds of hours that a seemingly useless spell can make many fights easier in Baldur’s Gate 3

Caroline Fuller 21. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

You never stop learning – not even in Baldur’s Gate 3. Therefore, it can also happen that one can change their opinion about inconspicuous cantrips even after several runs. One of these cantrips initially seems useless, but can be very effective, especially for tacticians.

Which cantrip is being referred to? It is the cantrip “Minor Illusion,” which can be learned by bards, sorcerers, wizards, or warlocks starting at level 1. The cantrip conjures a simple illusion that prompts nearby creatures to investigate. In Baldur’s Gate 3, this illusion is a cat, making it a very convincing bait.

On Reddit, a player shares in a post that they have never used Minor Illusion so far, but other users report in the comments how valuable this inconspicuous cantrip can actually be and in which situations the illusion seems particularly effective.

Here you can see the animated short film for Patch 8 of Baldur’s Gate 3:

An inconspicuous distraction with high potential

How effective can Minor Illusion be in battles? Minor Illusion appears rather unremarkable when compared to other more effective options like Thunderous Blade or Dreadful Ray.

The top comment by Cyb3rM1nd under the Reddit post describes how useful Minor Illusion can be in battles: “It’s a really good cantrip. Setting traps, attracting enemies, triggering traps.” They add that the cantrip can make challenging battles, like against the formidable Grym in the Adamantine Forge, significantly easier:

“With this cantrip, you can win the battle against the Grym without risk – your only threat is the Mephits, which pose no challenge. […] You can lower the platform normally and then use Misty Step or travel quickly back to the stairs. Then you can make any ranged attack on the valve and the lever and lure the Grym with a Minor Illusion into the center, trigger the hammer lever with a ranged attack, and crush the Grym.”

What else can the cantrip be used for? A distraction method in battles can also be used outside of combat.

“The cantrip is also great for stealth,” adds Cyb3rM1nd via Reddit, “Lure enemies away so you can sneak past more easily. Or make them look away so you can steal things.”

Author’s note: I also never considered Minor Illusion until I missed it in my runs in Honor Mode to clear enemy camps. I have always found the risk of triggering an alarm and resulting (possibly fatal) battle too great. But Minor Illusion works wonders, especially when you don’t have a bard in the team who could lure NPCs away with their music. Happy looting!

A Jedi is responsible for the greatest threat in Star Wars and regretted it many years later

Christoph Waldboth 21. May 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The Sith are known as the villains from the movies of Star Wars. But who was actually the first of them? As is often the case, the traces lead back to the Jedi and the light side of the Force.

Who was the first Sith Lord? The first person who can be referred to as a Sith Lord and at the same time as the founder of the first Sith Empire was named Ajunta Pall.

He was, much like later Sith, initially a Jedi – just think of Anakin, who followed a similar path. They are also united by the fact that they committed terrible deeds, but regretted them many years later and once again found access to the light side of the Force.

Start video

The Banishment from the Jedi Order

What happened to Ajunta Pall? He was a human who lived about 6,900 years before the Battle of Yavin from Episode 4 and was very Force-sensitive. Pall was part of the Jedi Order and rose to the rank of Master. Together with a few confidants, he dealt with unusual abilities. He used the Force to create or preserve life.

These experiments met with harsh criticism from the Order, as they were considered forbidden. Ajunta Pall and his like-minded individuals were banished from the Order. Thus, they became Dark Jedi, who in the following years acted against the Jedi and the light side of the Force.

Then there was a decisive battle that took place on the planet Corbos. At first, it seemed that the Dark Jedi would win, partly because Ajunta Pall alone killed twelve Jedi.

However, smaller conflicts within the Dark Jedi caused them to lose the battle in the end. Although Pall and the other survivors were not killed, they were sent to the Outer Rim, where they were to live in exile.

However, that never happened.

The Sith on the Planet Korriban

Where did Ajunta Pall go? The Dark Jedi had learned about the planet Korriban, where the Sith lived. This was an ancient people that was very powerful and had nothing to do with the later Lords of the Empire.

The original Sith were also aligned with the dark side and welcomed the newcomers warmly. The Dark Jedi got to know the people and their customs. However, this was not enough for them.

In a conspiracy, a confidant of the Sith King Hakagram Graush betrayed his lord. Ajunta Pall managed to defeat him in a duel. He promptly claimed the title of ruler for himself. The Sith agreed.

Thus, Ajunta Pall became not only their lord but also founded the corresponding Sith Empire. He established outposts and continued to wage war against the Jedi, whom he was convinced were blind to the power of the dark side. The potential there was, after all, immense. Another Sith Lord even took it so far as to drain entire planets of their life force.

Many years later, Ajunta Pall died and was buried on Korriban. However, his story was not yet over.

Late Regret as a Force Spirit

What happened after his death? Thanks to the learned Sith alchemy, Pall could continue to live as a Force spirit. He remained in his grave and sank into solitude. Over time, he began to question his actions as a Sith Lord and regretted parts of them.

Subsequently, the Jedi and later Sith Revan entered the tomb as he infiltrated the Sith Academy. Revan encountered Pall’s spirit and listened to what the former Sith had to say. Pall believed that frequent conflict had diminished the power of the Sith.

In the tomb, there were also three blades. Pall urged Revan to place the correct one in the hand of his own statue. When the Jedi did so, the Force spirit could be redeemed and, according to legend, even returned to the light side.

Overall, Ajunta Pall’s story is tragic. Although he was redeemed, his negative influence on the entire galaxy was enormous. After all, he founded the Sith Empire, which caused much suffering and oppression and threatened the freedom of all. Many more Lords followed Ajunta Pall, including some extremely powerful ones: 10 powerful Sith Lords from Star Wars, before whom even Yoda would be afraid

WoW Mount Guide: Death Wheel of the Demon Hunter – How to Get this Mount

Cortyn 21. May 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

You can earn a new, stylish mount in World of Warcraft. We will reveal how you can get the stylish Death Wheel.

Since May 21, 2025, the Disturbing Visions have returned to World of Warcraft – in a new guise, offering cool rewards for the current endgame of The War Within. However, mounts are significantly more timeless than head enchants, as they last forever.

One new mount, the Death Wheel of the Demon Hunter, can be earned in the Disturbing Visions. Our guide reveals how you need to proceed.

[toc]

Death Wheel of the Demon Hunter – Step by Step to the New Motorcycle

You should complete the individual steps in the listed order. Later steps can only be completed if the previous steps are finished (except for Step 1).

Step 1: The Shopping List

Before you start actually playing to earn it, you first need to buy a few materials. You can either get the materials from the auction house or ask friendly craftsmen if they can work on commissions for you. Note that you need the following items at quality level 3. Only the maximum quality works:

12x Entropy Amplifiers (Engineering)
1x Convincingly Real Overbridge Cable (Engineering)
3x Whimsical Wiring (Engineering)
1x Recalibrated Safety Switch
1x Irresistible Red Button (Engineering, commission required!)
5x Weavercloth Enchantment Thread (Tailoring)

Step 2: Find the Wheel

To find the Death Wheel of the Demon Hunter, you need to enter the Disturbing Vision of Stormwind. Here, you also need to activate at least one mask to increase the difficulty level.

Go to the Dwarven District and head to the auction house. There you will find the Death Wheel. Attack and “defeat” it so that its owner, Haymar, appears. Also defeat Haymar to make him drop the Death Wheel as an object.

Interact with the Death Wheel. This will send the Wheel to Dornogal and wait for you to repair it.

Go to Dornogal and interact with the Wheel there to read all 6 hints.

Step 3: Collect the Parts

Now, you need to go into the various Disturbing Visions and collect the necessary parts. For all parts, you must have increased the difficulty of the Vision by at least one mask.

Components in Orgrimmar

Voidforged Engine Block: In the Engineering building in Orgrimmar in the “The Alley” area on the left side.
Voidscarred Boar Hide: Drops in the completion chest after defeating Rexxar in Orgrimmar.
Voidflame Resistant Hide (1 of 2): Drops in the completion chest after defeating Zekhan in Orgrimmar.
Tentacle Spokes (1 of 2): Drops from the completion chest after defeating Garona in Orgrimmar.

Components in Stormwind

Magic-Fed Distributor: Located in the entrance area of the auction house in the Trade District of Stormwind.
Twisted Skull Scythe Handle: Drops in the completion chest after defeating Valeera in Stormwind.
Exhausted Void Crystal: Drops from the completion chest after defeating Umbric in Stormwind.
Voidflame Resistant Hide (2 of 2): Drops in the completion chest after defeating Kelsey in Stormwind.
Tentacle Spokes (2 of 2): Drops in the completion chest after defeating Wyrmbann in Stormwind.

Step 4: Assemble the Parts

Next, you just need to use the various components to assemble them into the components. If you have all the items from Step 1, this should work without any issues. You should end up having the following items in your inventory:

Voidforged Inline Four Cylinder Engine
Death Wheel Exhaust System
Skull Scythe Handle
Pulsating Void Crystal
Death Wheel Seat made from Boar Hide
2x Voidflame Wheel

Now return to Dornogal with all 7 completed parts and interact again with the Death Wheel. Done! You will receive the Death Wheel of the Demon Hunter and can show off this cool motorcycle to everyone from now on. At least until everyone else is riding it too.

The soccer expert of the German Twitch completely messes up and loses 2,000 euros, but fans celebrate the bad tips

Thomas Dummer 21. May 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

On Twitch, streamer and football content creator Simon “GamerBrother” Schildgen reacted to his prediction for the 2nd Bundesliga of the 2024/25 season. As it turned out, he was way off with his assessment. As compensation, he paid his community around 2000 euros, who also had a lot of fun with the expert’s poor tips.

How did the football expert misjudge? Of the 18 placements of all teams at the end of the season, he only predicted 2 teams in the correct position:

Fortuna Düsseldorf in 6th place
FC Köln in 1st place

He at least placed other clubs near their actual final standings. However, he grossly misjudged some clubs, including his favorite club FC Schalke 04. GamerBrother’s most drastic misjudgments were as follows:

SC Paderborn he predicted in 10th place, finished the season in 4th place
FC Magdeburg he predicted in 13th place, finished the season in 5th place
Hertha BSC he predicted in 2nd place, finished the season in 11th place
FC Schalke 04 he predicted in 5th place, finished the season in 14th place
SV Elversberg he predicted in 17th place, finished the season in 3rd place

Additionally, he was also way off with predictions for individual players. Top scorer Davie Selke from Hamburger SV he labeled in his prediction as the flop transfer. Diego Demme from Hertha BSC, who played an average season with the Berliners, he made in his forecast the star transfer.

His prediction should cost him, like his prediction for the past 2023/24 season, dearly.

Streamer gives away subscriptions for wrong predictions

Why does GamerBrother lose 2000 euros with his prediction? The streamer linked the evaluation of his prediction with a game between him and his viewers. For each messed up tip, he donated up to 25 giveaway Twitch Prime subscriptions to his community. A regular Twitch Prime subscription costs 4.99 euros.

For each correct tip, the streamer reclaimed up to 25 giveaway subscriptions. However, this could hardly save him, as he was correct far too rarely.

At the end of his prediction, there were 400 giveaway Prime subscriptions for his community, worth around 2000 euros. The amount was that high also because he donated over 100 subscriptions at once for his tips on FC Schalke 04 due to personal involvement.

How the fans reacted to the disgrace of the football expert, you can see after the video. Here you can watch how you can really get started in the actual specialty of GamerBrother, namely in Ultimate Team for EA FC 25.

Fans celebrate “the best video of the year” and mock

How are the fans reacting to the poor tips? The fans take the football expert’s missteps with humor. For them, the credibility of the tips seems secondary. Rather, they are happy to experience the streamer’s reaction to his bad tips.

This is especially evident in the comments under the reaction to his prediction, which he uploaded separately on YouTube:

User BJK64TR writes in the top comment: “One of the best videos of the year. You literally wait a year for this reaction.” (via YouTube)
- Over 3,000 viewers have liked this comment.

The streamer, who also hosts his own football talk show, does not escape ridicule:

User 2000er comments: “The prediction for Schalke was really a juicy 0/10.” (via YouTube)
User sebastianschulze6211 compares: “Broski basically sped through a one-way street at 200 km/h with this video and got flashed.” (via YouTube)
User sciencer9830 finally assesses GamerBrother’s predictions as follows: “With predictions it goes: Broski behind the wheel, that’s going to be expensive.” (via YouTube)

GamerBrother himself assessed his prediction very realistically and self-critically. It was the worst prediction he had ever made.

As long as the fans benefit from the streamer’s bad tips, they will surely look forward to his prediction for the new season with great joy. Again, there will likely be a few false assessments. A bet even temporarily cost GamerBrother his credibility as a Schalke supporter for Team of the Year in FC 25: Streamer in EA FC 25 makes a bet with a pro, risking the worst penalty for a football fan

The man who created the world of Cyberpunk 2077 speaks about the successor, inadvertently revealing a detail

Benedict Grothaus 20. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

For 3 years, we have known that Cyberpunk 2077 will receive a sequel. However, there isn’t a lot of information available about it. Now, the creator of the world of Cyberpunk has revealed some details.

Who is the man?

Mike Pondsmith created Cyberpunk, the pen and paper game on which Cyberpunk 2077 is based, and its first edition was released in 1988.
The “Digital Dragons” event took place in Krakow from May 19-21, 2025, one of the largest conferences for game developers in Europe.
There, Pondsmith spoke with our Polish colleague Michał Mańka about Orion, the upcoming successor to Cyberpunk 2077.

This is what Pondsmith says about Orion: In a nearly 45-minute conversation, they generally discussed Pondsmith’s relationship with Cyberpunk, Cyberpunk 2077, and the developers at CD Projekt Red. The author explains that he was much more deeply involved in the development than many assume.

In the last question, Mańka wants to know whether Pondsmith is as involved with Orion as he was with the first part of Cyberpunk 2077 (via YouTube). The author says that he is not as strongly involved anymore, but still hears about some things from the development. In doing so, he accidentally reveals something about the setting:

I spent a lot of time talking to one of the environment types. He explained what the new place in Orion looks like. There’s another place we will visit. A- I won’t say more than that. Night City is still there.
Mike Pondsmith

Still, Pondsmith shares a bit more about the new city and expresses his thoughts on it. He says: The city feels less like Blade Runner, which is one of his big inspirations, but more like “Chicago, where something went wrong.” For him, that works.

Creator accidentally confirms a fan theory

A few months ago, fans speculated that Orion would be set in Chicago (via Reddit). The reason for this is an advertisement that can be found in the city: “Travel from Chicago to Night City in under 3 hours. Worry-free. Starting 2080”

According to CD Projekt Red, the sign itself is not a hint at the sequel (via GameStar). However, the theory seems to be true nonetheless.

Whether Orion will fully take place in “Chicago,” or whether you can travel between the cities, we cannot say yet. From Pondsmith, we only know that Night City and the new city apparently differ significantly from each other.

Currently, there are no more new details about the successor to Cyberpunk 2077. In any case, the information is quite sparse, also regarding the release, which still needs to be announced. However, from what Pondsmith suggests, it seems that a lot is already on a good path. If you want to keep yourself busy in the meantime, you can find the best RPGs on Steam here.

Leaks show gameplay of Battlefield 6, ex-developer says: Reminds of one of the best games in the series

Cedric Holmeier 20. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

New leaks about Battlefield 6 keep surfacing. This time, they have also reached a former developer of the series, who assesses what he sees.

What kind of leaks are these? Videos of Battlefield 6 keep popping up, where players showcase gameplay from the tests. Although this is prohibited, it doesn’t stop players from showing how the next Battlefield is supposed to look.

A new leak has made the rounds on X.com and also reached former developer David Goldfarb. He was employed at DICE until 2012 and worked on Mirror’s Edge, Battlefield: Bad Company 1 and 2, and Battlefield 3.

After his time at DICE, he moved to Overkill, the studio behind Payday 2, where he became the Game Director for the heist shooter. Goldfarb is now the Studio Creative Director and CCO of developer studio The Outsiders, which belongs to Funcom.

Here you can see the new test program for Battlefield 6, with which you can try out the shooter:

Autoplay

The leaks evoke good memories

What does the former developer have to say about the leaks? David Goldfarb reposted one of the leaks on X.com and commented: “Oh, the Bad Company 2 vibes I’m experiencing here remind me of the first time we tested Arica Harbor.” Arica Harbor was a popular map from Battlefield: Bad Company 2, which was released in 2010.

Goldfarb himself worked on the successful title, which is among the installments of the series with the best user ratings according to Metacritic. Arica Harbor features a desert with a highway and border checkpoints as well as a city with houses and construction sites, before leading to the namesake industrial harbor.

The former developer was likely reminded of these houses and construction sites by the leaks. They show a firefight on the street between houses and soldiers involved in a conflict with a tank from inside a house.

How does the developer assess the gameplay? Goldfarb provided two points of criticism regarding the gameplay on X.com and told fans what he doesn’t like:

“The movements look a bit strange to me”
“I can’t say that I like the character design, as it seems very generic.”

However, the leaks stem from a test version of the shooter, and it’s uncertain whether these represent final or still early versions of the respective systems and designs.

Fans are currently tearing apart the head of Borderlands 4: „You didn’t just say that“

Cedric Holmeier 20. May 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The head of Borderlands 4 has become unpopular with his fans with a single post. Instead of support for the expensive pricing of Borderlands 4, the CEO is now facing a backlash.

What did the CEO say? The CEO of Gearbox, Randy Pitchford, reacted on X.com to a promotional video between Gearbox, the developers of Borderlands 4, and Nintendo. There, he expressed his excitement for the shooter as the head of the development studio.

A fan asked the CEO in response to his post that the developers should not release Borderlands 4 for $80, as that would be too expensive and fans wouldn’t pay for it. However, instead of support, the fan received a condescending reply from the CEO:

A) Not my decision. B) If you are a real fan, you will find a way to make it happen. My local game store had Starflight for Sega Genesis for $80 in 1991 when I had just graduated high school and was working minimum wage at an ice cream shop in Pismo Beach, and I found a way to get it.
Randy Pitchford via X.com

However, instead of the hoped-for support for his studio’s pricing policy, the CEO faced a backlash that still provokes new responses over a week later.

Borderlands 4 is set to be released on September 12, 2025, and here you can watch the trailer:

Big Price for Big Controversy

How are fans reacting to the tweet? Fans of the Borderlands series are furious. In over 250 replies, they throw insults and criticism at the CEO of Gearbox for his statement. As X user @young_dontai writes: “You didn’t just say that in 2025.”

He continues in a second post on X.com: “I’m not too young to understand that the economy is literally at its worst since the 1930s-1940s, which makes it incredibly dumb to compare the price of a console in 1991 with that of a game in 2025, when the overall economy was much better back then.”

In the USA, inflation and therefore the cost of living continue to rise since the Corona pandemic (via Tagesschau.de). The rising prices for video games, as we now also know from CoD, are caught up in the conflict over price increases in general.

User @SynthPotato explains on X.com why the price will not stay at $80 anyway: “We are NOT paying $80 for a Borderlands game, knowing that you will make several season passes that will cost an additional $100, and that you will probably also sell weapon skins.”

Borderlands 3 from 2020 offers not only the base game for €59.99 on Steam but also a Super Deluxe Edition for €79.99. There is also a collection with all titles, DLCs, and expansions for €146.74 instead of €637.54, which you would have to pay for all DLCs, expansions, boosters, and other game content individually.

This includes Season Pass 1, which normally costs €49.99, as well as Season Pass 2, which normally costs €29.99. Randy Pitchford published his post on May 14 and has not commented further on the price of the new Borderlands since.

Whether Borderlands 4 will actually cost $80 at release or the same price in euros as usual in Germany is still unclear. The developers at Gearbox still have the opportunity to set the price. However, prices in dollars and euros usually align. The backlash against the CEO, however, is not only about the price but also about the way the answer was formulated.

Expert explains in 1,600 words why Bungie’s new game has no chance even before release

Dariusz Müller 20. May 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

An expert is sure that the new game from the Destiny developers will fail, and the latest allegations play only a small role in that.

Who is the expert?

Paul Tassi is a U.S. journalist and author who writes for the English-language magazine “Forbes”.
He is very familiar with Destiny and regularly writes about the loot shooter. It’s also natural that he covers the studio’s new game, Marathon.
Furthermore, Tassi is closely connected with individual employees at Bungie and claims to have some friends at the studio.

Now Tassi has written a 1,600-word article on Forbes and published a related video on YouTube, in which he explains why, in his opinion, it is already over for Marathon – even though the game won’t be released until September 2025.

Start video

Bungie shows first gameplay of Marathon in trailer

Autoplay

Expert judges that the game concept makes no sense

What does the expert say about Marathon? Paul Tassi is convinced that it is already too late for Marathon to become a successful game. He splits his reasoning into 5 sections:

The game concept
The gameplay
Price and content
Plagiarism incident
A possible postponement

First, he criticizes the general idea underlying the game: a casual extraction shooter. Tassi believes that an extraction shooter is not interesting for most casual players. The idea of losing all your gear and loot upon death is simply not a casual-friendly game principle. And gamers who enjoy games like Escape from Tarkov prefer the hardcore experience of the shooter. Everything about Marathon seems too casual to them, including aspects like time-to-kill or reviving teammates.

What is a casual? Casuals or casual players are often referred to as gamers who play rather “casually” and relaxed. They are characterized by wanting to play just for fun after work without a strong focus on competitive gameplay, the necessary victory in PvP, or a hardcore gaming experience with a high difficulty level.

The gameplay itself is also a problem, especially the idea of integrating heroes into an extraction shooter. It strikes him as an experiment to make the own game something special, but it has made the game worse. The abilities of the runners, such as wallhacks and complete invisibility, would simply be far too strong in an extraction shooter.

Moreover, the game is not fun for Tassi when playing solo. Therefore, you have to successfully convince 2 friends to buy the game, as playing with random teammates is a coin toss whether it will be fun or not. However, the game launches with too little content for the price, which rumors suggest could be around 40 euros, to successfully convince friends.

Plagiarism incident is the final nail and a postponement is no salvation

What does he say about the plagiarism incident? Last week, it was revealed that the Marathon alpha contained designs that came from an independent artist. Bungie admitted to stealing the artist’s work but claimed that a former employee was to blame.

Tassi is convinced that this is the final nail for Marathon. The “unique art style” was the one thing Marathon received praise for. Now it is impossible to talk about the style without mentioning the plagiarism incident.

For the expert, it is now certain that a postponement cannot save the game anymore. There wouldn’t be enough changes to the gameplay to make it more attractive to more players and change the fate of the shooter. Nevertheless, he is convinced that a postponement is currently the only option. Cancelling the game after over 5 years of work is simply out of the question.

MMO expert is known for sharp criticism, explains why ARC: Raiders achieves what Marathon does not

von Christos Tsogos

How should Tassi’s statements be classified? Like Paul Tassi, we at MeinMMO are also extensively engaged with the current situation of Bungie and Marathon and will also work through our assessment in detail – after all, Destiny has been an important part of our reporting for years. Here, however, we share an initial assessment from our shooter editor Dariusz.

This is what Dariusz says: I can agree with Paul Tassi on many points. I particularly share the assessment of the game concept. Extraction shooters simply have very punishing gameplay. You have to be prepared to die repeatedly, and each death means losing gear. Therefore, players must be attentive while playing to avoid losing their progress due to negligence. Players who want to game for half an hour in a sleepy state after work do not want to lose their hard-earned loadout because of a careless mistake.

For some players, this also leads to the so-called “gear fear”, meaning the fear of losing good gear. Instead, players only take relatively “useless” gear and thus never play the game as intended. In some cases, a game is even not continued because of the fear of not being “fit enough” to start another run. I know this from a roguelite with extraction mechanics: In a game on Steam, I only have 4 attempts to save the world – and now I’m afraid to play it

Player defeats over 500 bosses in Diablo 4, lists what loot he receives

Nicole Wakulczyk 20. May 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The hideout bosses in Diablo 4 have a chance to drop the rarest items in the game. One player has defeated over 500 bosses and shares his summary of the loot drops.

These are the hideout bosses: In Diablo 4, there are various hideout bosses at the torment levels. Since Season 8, they are divided into three categories – and not all are accessible to everyone. For Urivar and the Herald of Hatred, you need an edition of “Vessel of Hatred”.

The classification is as follows:

Aspirant Hideout Bosses: Beast in the Ice, Grigoire, Lord Zir, Varshan, and Urivar
Great Hideout Bosses: Andariel, Duriel, and the Herald of Hatred
Exalted Hideout Boss: Belial, the Lord of Lies.

All these bosses have their own specific loot – but they also drop items from the general loot pool. You can see what loot each boss drops in our overview.

One player has tackled the hideout bosses. First, he defeated Belial – the new “exalted hideout boss” from Season 8 – multiple times, then focused on the aspirant bosses. He shares the results of the loot drops with the community on Reddit.

Over 700 GA Items and 9 Mythics in 547 Boss Runs

Here are his loot drops: In 250 runs against Belial, he received a total of 618 GA-Uniques (GA = greater affixes) and 4 Mythics each with one GA. He received three of the Mythics in the last 50 runs – so the drop chance for them was lower before.

Specifically, the distribution of the drops was as follows (via Reddit):

1GA-Mythic – 4 pieces – 1.600 %
3GA-Unique – 2 pieces – 0.800 %
2GA-Unique – 43 pieces – 17.200 %
1GA-Unique – 573 pieces – 229.200 %

For Varshan, Grigoire, Lord Zir, the Beast in the Ice, and Urivar, gasparmilazzo completed 297 runs. The result is according to Reddit 164 GA-Uniques and 5 Mythics each with one GA:

1GA-Mythic – 5 pieces – 1.684 %
2GA-Unique – 10 pieces – 3.367 %
1GA-Unique – 154 pieces – 51.852 %

Additionally, he received 15 legendary runes and 82 Stygian stones – which you can exchange for boss materials to open the hideout chests after the boss fight. He met the “small” Belial in 39 fights – he can appear randomly when you defeat a boss. According to him, this happened most often with Urivar. All runs were completed solo and on torment 4 by gasparmilazzo.

A character in The Big Bang Theory was so unpopular that they were written out of the series

Every Boss is Worth It – Targeted Crafting of Mythics Not Recommended

What is his conclusion? In the comments, the community discusses the results. gasparmilazzo himself finds: For items with 2-3 GA, Belial is worth it. However, if you want to farm Mythics specifically, every hideout boss is a good choice. To open Belial’s loot chest, you also need special materials that you get from the “smaller” Belial.

When asked if targeted crafting of Mythics is worth it, the player says that it’s not a good path for a solo player without trading. Although he has received some runes, they are not the ones he needs.

However, through many boss runs, he was able to gather a considerable amount of “Spectral Ash.” You can exchange them for Oath Scrolls at Sayeena since Patch 2.2.1 to increase your recognition at the Oath of the Revealer. And at the final level, you can get a “Magnificent Spark” for crafting Mythics.

What about the other bosses? In a comment, the user explains that he will skip the great hideout bosses, namely Duriel, Andariel, and the Herald of Hatred. Especially Andariel is “constantly annoying” – being able to one-shot a boss but then being slowed down by three immunity phases is simply frustrating. And he is not alone in this opinion: Players argue whether the “new” bosses in Diablo 4 are good or bad – there is really only one that no one likes

German construction expert used every reason to be able to play the new Anno, resulting in more hours than anyone else

Johanna 20. May 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The Twitch streamer Maurice Weber was able to play the highly anticipated Anno 117: Pax Romana. Initially, about 3.5 hours were planned, but due to a broken recording, he was able to extract a total of 10 hours. In a YouTube video, he shares his impressions, and on his second channel, he even shows the first hour of gameplay.

Disclaimer: Maurice Weber is an integral brand and OOC of Webedia Gaming.
GameStar, GamePro and MeinMMO are part of Webedia.

Who is it about? Maurice Weber has been streaming regularly on Twitch since mid-2022. Here he was the most watched “Manor Lords” streamer in 2024, even ahead of Gronkh. In 2024, he was awarded Player of the Year by the German Computer Game Award.

In advance, Maurice Weber was allowed to play 10 hours of the new Anno 117: Pax Romana. In a YouTube video, he reports on his impressions and can’t stop raving about it.

You can watch his impressions of Anno 117: Pax Romana in this YouTube video:

Broken recording leads to more hours of gameplay

What reason did Maurice Weber use? While most others were allowed to test the game for 3 to 4 hours, such as GamePro, Maurice Weber managed to extend his playtime to a total of 10 hours.

He was able to do the first run at an event in Rome, and he started the second at home. For his new Uncut YouTube channel, Maurice needed gameplay, which he recorded from the demo. However, the recording was broken and according to Maurice, it was “a complete disaster from a professional standpoint” (via YouTube).

On the other hand, he was excited at the same time, because this allowed him to ask Ubisoft if they could give him the opportunity to play the demo again. And behold: Ubisoft agreed to the whole thing, and the Twitch streamer dived back into the construction of Rome.

What are Maurice’s impressions? Overall, the Twitch streamer seems to be thrilled with Anno 117: Pax Romana. He describes the game, as well as the others in the series, as a “feel-good construction sandbox in a historical scenario” (via YouTube).

The Twitch streamer reports on some things that he found positive, including the following:

With the buildings, it is now possible to align them diagonally, making the entire city seem much more organic.
There are more buildings with radius effects, both positive and negative. Production buildings would generate more money when they are close to other buildings, as residents buy directly there. Therefore, it’s worth building them in the city. However, farms would have a negative effect if they are too close to other buildings. Thus, some buildings must be built in isolation to avoid negative effects.
There are island attributes such as happiness, income, population, fire safety, health, prestige, faith, and knowledge. These would have new mechanics and thus unlock new building possibilities.

Rather negatively, Maurice noticed the banality of the quests. They do not offer much challenge as they are kept simple.

Those who want to watch the first hour of uncut gameplay from Anno 117 will find it on Maurice’s second channel. Here he uploaded his recordings and provides a comprehensive insight into the game with his first YouTube video on the channel.

It went unnoticed, but an actor from The Big Bang Theory appeared earlier in the Friends universe and played almost the same role

Niko Hernes 20. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The Big Bang Theory is one of the most popular comedy series of all time. This is mainly due to the endearing nerds who have chatted their way into the hearts of fans over 12 seasons. Among them is Howard Wolowitz, played by Simon Helberg. However, even before the series, he was able to try out almost the same role in another sitcom.

Which series is it? Not only The Big Bang Theory was a popular sitcom that was further developed with spin-offs. Friends is, although the series ended in May 2004, one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time. But fans didn’t have to say goodbye to one character for long.

In September 2004, Joey premiered. The spin-off focused on the character Joey Tribbiani, played by Matt LeBlanc. In the series, Joey travels to Hollywood to pursue his acting career.

Nowadays, the series is hardly known. It was canceled after the second season due to poor viewership numbers. However, an interesting supporting character in the series is Seth Tobin, played by Simon Helberg. And this character has quite a few parallels with another character of Helberg: Howard Wolowitz.

Different name, almost the same character

Who is Seth Tobin? Seth Tobin is just a minor character in the Joey series. He appears in only 4 out of 46 episodes and seems like a prototype of Howard Wolowitz in The Big Bang Theory. Seth is the colleague and rival of Michael, Joey’s nephew. Seth works at Caltech and is a space engineer. He always comes across as quite self-assured, and in his first appearance, he wears a Space Invaders shirt.

However, the parallels with Wolowitz do not end there. He lives with his grandmother and has trouble with women, although this is not as overbearing as Wolowitz in The Big Bang Theory. In the first episode, he also talks about a robot woman, and he is a big Star Trek fan (via YouTube). His arrogant acting can also be recognized in The Big Bang Theory, especially in the first seasons.

Where are the differences? The Big Bang Theory ran for 12 seasons and Howard is a main character in the series, allowing for significant development. Especially his relationships with women have changed. Seth also comes across as significantly more arrogant than Howard and has traits that one would more likely attribute to Sheldon.

Also, Howard’s quirky outfits cannot be recognized in Seth. Without character development, Seth is a clichéd image of a tech nerd. He lacks the substance that a main character has.

The discussions about robot women are not as far-fetched as one might think. Once, The Big Bang Theory was also supposed to look different, and an important character was originally supposed to be a robot, but it was decided against it: The Big Bang Theory: Before the series started, an important character was supposed to be a robot

Gamers are finally seeing full shelves of graphics cards again – but hardly anyone wants to buy them anyway

Claudio Niggenkemper 20. May 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Despite better availability, the prices for current graphics cards remain high. Frustration is spreading on Reddit and worldwide: Users do not want to pay more than for a used car.

What do gamers say about the current situation? In a Reddit thread, users express their frustration with current GPU prices. The trigger for the Reddit discussion about graphics card prices was a post that addressed the unexpectedly good availability and fair prices at a Japanese tech store.

Subsequently, it was discussed why prices vary greatly globally and what strategies the respective users have to deal with the pricing situation.

Especially one comment summarizes the mood well:

In many places around the world, there is no shortage of graphics processors, it’s just that we are not collectively crazy enough to buy a graphics processor that costs as much as a small used car […]– Takeasmok (via Reddit)

Another Reddit user explains that he only opted for an RTX 5070 Ti thanks to a discount program – even slightly below MSRP, the price is hardly justifiable. Many compare today’s GPU costs with the price of a whole PC or even a month’s salary.

Still high prices

Why do prices remain so high despite shelves being full? An article from IGN Brazil describes that in Japan there is no longer a shortage – GPUs are therefore on the shelves, and yet not everyone is purchasing them directly – the respective hardware parts are too expensive.

A look at another country in Asia shows that even there, availability does not necessarily regulate prices downwards. In Thailand, for example, the latest RTX-50 graphics cards from NVIDIA are available, but anyone wanting one must reach deep into their pockets – because dealers only sell them in combination with a complete system.

A rare counterexample was reported by Wccftech in early April: The RTX 5070 was listed for the first time in Japan below the MSRP. However, this remains the exception. The trend clearly shows: Availability does not automatically mean fair prices – or readiness to buy.

So what is wrong with the pricing strategy? Many gamers suspect a deliberate strategy from manufacturers: Nvidia and AMD focus on high-end models with high margins while mid-range GPUs remain underpowered yet still expensive.

A 3080 is still a decent 1440p card, my 6900XT with AMF2 will probably not retire until it stops working, why should I switch cards when all I have to do is set shadows from ultra to medium/high and watch my framerate explode, writes the user DecompositionLU (via Reddit).

At the same time, many games today increasingly rely on features like ray tracing – even though mid-range cards can hardly meet these demands without relying on FSR (upscaling technology) or DLSS. DLSS, short for Deep Learning Super Sampling, is an AI-based technology from Nvidia that increases the frame rate in games while improving image quality.

Buying used is a solution

What are users doing now? Many users write that they are now opting for used models or simply keeping their old cards longer.

For manufacturers, this becomes a challenge: If fewer and fewer customers decide to purchase new models, Nvidia and AMD could long-term lose touch with their community.
Because to capture a broad group of gamers with their offers in the future, it takes not only technical advances for high prices but also pricing models that remain realistic.
