Yeah, but that affected only gamers, now it's all computer nerds (corpos can switch to thin clients).
Only? That makes it seem as though gaming were a negligible fraction of the world's entertainment time. It wouldn't surprise me if it surpassed movies before long, if it hasn't already.
I think I see your point though: RAM prices affect even more people than that.
If it stays high it well affect everything that uses RAM.
Oh no, my fridge!!!!!
Thin clients still require ram and storage at the terminals and lots of both at the server. If a thin client deployment is not already in place, it will be a huge financial burden for corporations from hardware deployment as well as time lost to employees learning process changes. This is the exact reason large organizations slow roll deployments instead of making fast changes.
