Are you serious? The only person defamed by the comments was Musk himself so there's no damages to collect. Being an idiot and saying something dumb doesn't mean the "victim" is entitled to $200m.

So you're a pedophile and okay with people acknowledging that fact, right?

I always heard mixed reviews. Some people think they're great, some people thought the same as what you just said.

For the price they were going for during the sale..Why the heck not? If it collects dust, it collects dust, no real sweat off my brow.

They're fine for certain genres and frankly really kickass for emulation related stuff due to all of the customization and extra controls. Not like the 360 or Xbox One controllers are known for quality either, both have known issues with thumbstick drift. I was more concerned with the button sizes on the Steam Controller, they were oddly small for no discernible reason.

The strength of the Steam Controller is also its biggest flaw - customization. The community configs help out a lot but ultimately I found I spent too much time fiddling when I just wanted to game after a long day at work. I still bust it out for anything emulation related though.

Most games don't thread that well do they? All those extra cores can't be taken adv of today can it?

Older games no, 4 cores is probably fine. Newer, yes. I would not buy a chip that is less than 6cores/12threads (amd 3600) for gaming today. The no hyperthreading i5 and now i7 9700k chips will not hold up for very long and in some games with denuvo type drm schemes it hurts performance.

The new consumer intel chips are reported to have hyperthreading again in i7 and all i5's as well. When will Intel release those, I dunno. Probably by mid next year.

Intel has two compelling products in consumer land right now, the 9700k and the 9900k. Both are very much overpriced. The 9700k at $275-299 on sale is tolerable but as I said earlier, buying an i5 without hyperthreading years ago taught me that you're going to want hyperthreading, especially now. 6 years ago it wasn't as big a deal. Look at the numbers for a ryzen 1600 vs a 7600k after two years. Hardware Unboxed did a good video on it a few months ago.

"Need to pivot, even if it means losing some of the biggest AAA games"

The only benefit I see with this service is the ability to play AAA games on a Chromebook. Why would I use this service for indie games that could run on a Samsung toaster? The qhole idea of streaming games can't die fast enough. It's just a play to hold the gaming industry hostage to a select few companies acting in bad faith.

Huge +1, Like or whatever for this.

Agreed, despite all the corporate white-washing about enabling new generations of non-console-owning yet-to-be-gamers, a cynical take could certainly see Google's move as an attempt at monopolizing the place where people play games, just as YouTube is the defacto place where people watch online videos.
