Hardware news this week covers huge stories, including Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard King for $68.7B, NVIDIA moving to annual architecture launches for some of its GPU lines (not including gaming, it sounds like), Sony launching a PlayStation 5 Slim, and more.
LAST CALL: For the next few days, we're donating 10% of our GN store product sales revenue to Cat Angels, a local charity cat shelter that we've long been supporters of. Anything you buy from us during this period will help benefit them as they save for their move to a new adoption center: https://store.gamersnexus.net/ You can also give to them directly here: https://catangelsnc.org/
