8 Comments on Intel Bundles up to $280 of Games and Software with CPUs, GPUs, and Laptops
Battlefield 6 is a game for several years, not like Call of Duty, where every year you pat 70$ just to get "Weapon Leveling Sim".
Dying Light The Beast will be developed for a long time and will receive a lot of new content, both paid and free.
The first Dying Light recently received a new event and content for Halloween.
Civ 7 is a flop.
AC Shadows is crap.
The Marvel Rivals skin set is a completely useless thing.
Vegas 365, if I'm not mistaken, is Vegas 23, but in the subscription model. Vegas, as Vegas is, each version is supposedly better and more refined, but it is still full of bugs, new and old, because the program's database dates back to prehistoric times.
XSplit Premium Suite is a total mistake, no one needs a program, because there is a free OBS Studio and Meld Studio on the market.
Too bad, the Intel Ultra CPUs are not so good.
