I've been looking at upgrading my PC from a secondhand 2060 I got in early 2021 for cheap. Right now, Newegg has a sale event this week where all sorts of things can be purchased at 10% off, including new GPUs. I already kinda regret not looking into this when they were being bundled with Wukong.
Right now, they're still being bundled with Star Wars: Outlaws. Been over a month now. I have no idea when they'll next bundle their cards with a game I actually want. And Outlaws is a game I really don't want.
What would you guys think in this situation?
If the discount is steep enough, who cares what game it's bundled with? You're not obligated to install it.
Well, for what I'm looking at anyway ($600 4070 Super), the discount is not more valuable than a new game I'd want. Though when that'll come around again, God knows when. Would've been amazing to get both this discount AND a free $60-70 game that I actually want to play.
After all the years of shortages in GPUs, this is a luxury issue.
But one that you can generally expect to continue, might as well enjoy the luxuries you can get to the fullest.
Buy the bundle then make a fun video about DEI failure while you demonstrate what a worthless frisbee it makes, and post it HERE!
That Star Wars game is dogshit fwiw
No shit. It disgusts me that there's a possibility that my purchase of a new GPU will in any way support Ubisoft. Not to mention they're the type to use special corporate launchers requiring corporate accounts just to play a fucking offline single player game. I might have even considered "rage-playing" since I'd be getting it for free, but not with that shit.
