The truth is.... not everyone is suffering the 0.3 secs or so from the same source

I did indeed suffer the red ring of death on an older laptop running on minimum specs. Sitting side by side with 3 gaming PCs built earlier this year by my siblings, you could see the red ring of death on my laptop while they suffered nothing. After buying an up to date pc with some suggestions from the community members here I no longer suffer from the red ring of death. However, this may not be the same case for others but I would not be surprised if alot of the community members who are complaining about the red ring of death are running sub par specs.

Some have complained that, why should they have to buy a new computer for just one game. I'm not going to lie, future games will probably be even more demanding. If you don't upgrade now, you will eventually have to anyways cause games to come in the near future most likely will not be degrading but upgrading requirements.

Cheers.
