Any sub 500 dollar gpu can play any game that’s not ray traced unreal engine 5 slop. Lots of games to choose from the last 40+ years. The only limiting factor is ram prices sadly.
Way too late. This has been a talking point for a while. The AI bubble will burst but that doesn‘t mean they‘ll just return to their roots. Those new data centers need a use case and they need a good reason to keep building more.
I guess the silver lining is that this plan B won‘t work out either so we‘ll have to see. But until then we better take good care of our current hardware. It will probably have to last a good while longer.
Cloud computing is the real endgame. The big tech bros want to price consumers out of the PC hardware market (GPUs, RAM, NVMe, etc.) so they can offer a cloud solution via subscription model.
All games will be streamed, with a subscription
Retroarch disagrees. I don’t need your newfangled enshittified slop. I have megaman X and wine.

Shhh! Don’t give them any ideas!

They’ve already been pushing this for like a decade now. GeForce now has been a thing since like 2015.
Just stop playing games, and they will have no hold over you.
Or code your own, it’s simple to code a simple game.
In a million years, I couldn’t code The Last of Us Part 3. I’m at their mercy
This might be enough for anyone that only enjoys tic-tac-toe or maybe checkers.
