Yeah, but it's over $120 in savings going with the 7800X3D right now. So if he's trying to save money or able to put it towards a better GPU, I'd go with the 7800X3D.
It was an RMT infested GaaS pile of bullshit at release. They were selling boosters and currency in an in game shop if I recall as well. Empty game designed to get the player to spend real money for progression.
Eh, it shipped with signature required. The FedEx guy was a fucking ninja to me and arrived 3 hours before the delivery window and I had to stay home the next day to wait for it to sign.
