I thought there was a new AvP out for a sec...

As a VR game by the Alien Isolation guys would be nice.

That team disbanded long ago. CA is wholly a Total War studio now.

I was about to be excited for a new game

Something that costs $3,500 and is very much a "luxury" purchase doesn't sell loads?

I'm shocked.

Also very, very obviously an open beta.

Also: AvP revenue almost surpasses $350 million.

I’m trying to find it but I know there’s an article out there showing they lose something like $1k per unit.

I’d really like to see that article. That’s crazy. Apple normally has massive profit margins. That would be a huge 180.

I’m going to retract that claim. I think it came in one of my tech newsletters but since I can’t find it, I don’t want to mislead anyone. Maybe I’m mixing it up with another tech product.

Appreciate the update 👍

Those micro oleds are trailblazing tech but they must be super expensive to make.

In the neighborhood of 100k dev kits isn't half bad.
