Diversity. They have products outside of gaming and have cornered the market in some cloud graphics compute hardware for enterprise users. Basically, smart business. Where other card companies put all their eggs in one basket, NVidia did not.
I used to have an opinion about all this physical to digital nonsense. I've lived through the Steam beta years, yes ... years. I accepted digital was the future long ago, but its been a bigger sting on my consoles. There is such a love for something when you own it. Years later now, it seems to matter less. Living through the pre GUI internet days and gaming, and ansi art days of BBS's ... I recall what it felt like when things were moving away from BBS's to GUI interface services like AOL/Prodigy etc.. There was a sting, and a hateful uprising from the crusties back then. This is very much the same.. we will all be mad for 5 years or so, then move on and be mad about something else. Ultimately we'll all die and within 2 generations will be forgotten so its all a waste. Also, cock.
The Homefront premise is terrific, execution is really missing. Believe it or not, I actually think that its in better hands with Deep Silver than its previous 2 owners.
