Once again, I pray for the time when China floods the market with GPUs, RAM, and storage to the point where all these technocapitalists get fucked.
Fuck renting shit.
If they did that, the technocapitalists would just make Chinese hardware illegal.
Man, I feel like peak gaming was the xbox 360.
I think steam deck 2 as and when it comes out will be a golden age. I think it stands a chance to completely consolidate the market.
Depends on the price, most people don’t want a 1k euros console.
I guess the alternative is streaming? I don’t think we’re going to be getting another generation of subsidised hardware.
I sure hope not, I hate cloud streaming services.
Right now the only budget alternative is to wait out this ram Apocalypse, however long that may take…
I don’t think it’s a good alternative, I should have said.
And it’s this kind of shit that has ruined my love for tech. It’s all soulless dystopian slop they want you paying for monthly for the rest of your life. Fuck all these techno dweebs. It’s a shame all the normies will go along with this…
They’ll average $1700/year to play the fucking games they already spent $100 to borrow indefinitely? Fuck, gaming sounds so stupid now.
I’ve called this so many times over… It’s not just going to be xbox… it’s going to be PCs in general, With AI data centers raising up the price on all hardware, They are already making moves in the government on banning routers. The plan is going to be for personal computers and hardware to leave the world. Either price them out of consumer reach or flat out outlaw them. We get thin clients like stadia, Luna etc… Actually having a personal computer capable of running software itself will be considered a national security threat. Why wouldn’t you keep your stuff in the cloud where the government can audit it, companies can make sure you aren’t pirating or running unapproved illegal LLMs that could make bombs etc…
