Dropping optimization support to their older cards could be considered a way of gimping their cads . Personally I wouldn ' t call it gimping I consider it as purposely lowering performance even on older games which ran good . But lazy , shady , shoddy , anticonsumer , ahole move definitely . And you ' ll see me first jumping from Intel and Nvidia to AMD combo , as soon as they offer really goodamazing bang for the buck in my price range which currently with RX 480 wasn ' t the case as I had double budget for upgrade <| sep |> I would show up 20 minutes late , not apologize for being late and when screamed at for being late , I would just shrug my shoulders never apologizing or give a reason why . Then I would proceed to answer some emails that are really important , then say , this is boring and pack up my computer and leave . I would also never make eye contact .
