iCame, iSaw, iConquered: With its new M5 chip, the Apple MacBook Pro is now a gaming PC. Just, y’know, without the games
Intel’s Arc GPUs are making waves as the “undisputed king of integrated graphics” when they function optimally. The Arc A380, launched in 2022, has been praised for outperforming AMD’s Vega graphics in specific scenarios. Notably, its performance shines when running modern games at 1080p, offering a compelling option for budget gamers. However, it’s not all smooth sailing, as driver issues have occasionally hampered its full potential.
The implications? If Intel can iron out these kinks, the Arc series could seriously shake up the integrated graphics market. With potential enhancements in future models, like the anticipated Arc Battlemage set for a 2025 release, Intel might just give AMD and NVIDIA a run for their money.

The Steam Deck LCD is 20% off, and I’m still not buying one because it’s crap for RTS
The original 256GB LCD version of Valve’s Steam Deck is now 20% off until December 1st, bringing its price down to approximately $319.20 in the US or £279.20 in the UK. This discount is part of the Black Friday sale, offering gamers an enticing deal as they hunt for the best holiday bargains.

The Saudi Arabia fund behind the wildly leveraged EA buyout is dealing with “financial distress”, claims report
Saudi Arabia’s ambitious push into the gaming world faces a potential speed bump. The country’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), which has been aggressively investing in gaming companies, is reportedly facing financial constraints. While “running out of money” might be a stretch, it’s down to a few billion dollars. This is significant given their extensive investments in major companies like SNK and Embracer Group.
What does this mean for the gaming industry? If the fund tightens its purse strings, it could slow down Saudi Arabia’s influence and acquisitions in gaming. This could impact future support for developers and projects.
