  PC gamer doesn’t need to inject ads. They have nothing of substance to add.

    Thanks for the links to the sources. It was interesting to read the backstory on how it came to be.

  Spending all that money to end up gaming on a membrane keyboard and OEM tier mouse.

    TBF, some OEM mouses are among the best I’ve used in my life.

  12 gaming PCs networked together for $1,000,000???

  I think it’s bad reporting. It’s a $1M house that they spent $100k for a custom game room. No one is that stupid to pay that much for so little.

    Nope, 22… Article says that’s 75k.

    And each one is in custom “hideaway” cabinets that they said cost as much.

    They didn’t do anything cheap, and once you get to a certain level, everything becomes crazy expensive.

    This is the type of shit you do when you’re the problem and money is an afterthought.

    I don’t know why anyone would celebrate it.

      Ok, so I was right. The house is a $1m house, not that they spent $1m to make it a lan party house.
