In the weekly review of the past seven days, the focus today is week 48, 2022. 69 news/notes and 7 tests/reports were published. Which of these have the ComputerBase readers been particularly interested in? What do you recommend for weekend reading?
The fact that the Sunday survey is at the top at the end of the week shows in the cold season: Playing is always an option and is still very popular. The editors wanted to know how, when and where readers are buying new PC games. Which stores and launchers do you use, how do you deal with exclusivity and what role do discount campaigns, free games and key resellers play? was asked – and the answers from over 4,500 participants were only partially as expected.
It was clear that Steam would be at the top in the end, but it was an interesting finding that every second person in the poll also bought from key sellers. The second, real gaming service was GOG, ahead of the industry giants Ubisoft, Epic and others. There are more details in the article.

There was only second place for the new Amazon Fire TV Cube (2022). Amazon evaluates the 3rd generation Fire TV Cube with HDMI input, tri-band WLAN with Wi- Fi 6E, AV1 support, USB port with NTFS support and LAN port clearly on. The Alexa voice control is unbeatable and can also control connected devices if desired. Only Google Cast and Apple AirPlay are still missing.
