So many perfectly working older computers are going to be headed to the landfill as e-waste. That's the horrible part.

What a waste tech dollars just to play some stupid game.

I hope many of us are able to pick them up cheap instead.

Yes, "reduce, reuse, recycle" in that order. It is better to sell or give away an old PC instead of just sending it for recycling or even landfill.

Yeah but larger organisations just don't work that way.
