When entering a saturated market, it's important to have a Unique Selling Point. But maybe bricking high-end graphics cards wasn't the best one to choose, Amazon.

I've always wondered why there's no hardware or firmware safeguards for this in graphics cards. It seems common sense and yet this has been an ongoing issue for years (I remember starcraft 2 doing it.)When entering a saturated market, it's important to have a Unique Selling Point. But maybe bricking high-end graphics cards wasn't the best one to choose, Amazon.

This is a surprise. Considering Gust's penchant for trilogies, it would have seemed a safe bet for the next Atelier game to be Ryza 3, but instead we're getting a sequel to Atelier Sophie.
Between this and Blue Reflection 2 being PS4-only on the Sony side of things, it looks like Gust have given up on PS5 for now. Ryza 2 was digital-only for PS5, so I guess they've written the platform off as not cost-effective yet with its current install base.
