Huh. So if games are just horribly optimized and hardware costs a fortune, it will push more people to cloud/streaming their games. The corporations just keep winning. What a wonderful timeline we live in.
Indie games it is then.
If that means more stuff like Stardew Valley then I'm in.
And no doubt an optimized version of the game will exist but only at the enterprise level for streaming providers.
Yep its pretty gross.
Also why they love the ai bubble. They can buy up all the hardware and price us all out.
I foresee in 10 years the majority of homes not having a computer at all or a dumb terminal connected to Amazon. Hell it probably already is that way
Hey, Alexa....
The scary part is it will become the norm and we will be the weird ones who want to actually own their pc and control their data.
Ah well
Ah, induced demand. A cornerstone of capitalism.
