The problem here is:

They are likely only going to badge systems with ATI cards. No one uses ATI anymore.

True...I suppose I need to remember that 50% of people who own computers and game know what they're doing and the rest are complete idiots that shouldn't be allowed to eat soup without wearing a helmet.

They don't know any better.

That's AMD's current definition for a "AMD Game" computer.

ye, not that good a computer.

but it's still pretty clever, they got to get people buying those, and not computers with overkill cpu's (way worse than the 5600) with intel.

But what happens when you try to play a newer "game ready" game in an older "game ready" PC?
