If capitalism is so great then why is the computer industry such a mess
>>537961706Why they needed to raise price when it's tech is more outdated by more find time?
>>537961706At first, capitalism is good, after a while, the power accumulates/concentrates on just a few players, then its not so good anymore, also called "late stage capitalism" <-- you are living in it. In the past, it was solved by very high wealth tax to distribute the wealth again, i think roosevelt did this.
>>537961706It's great for the companies making ram and SSDs.Also great for me since I've sold all the vintage PCs I had going back to DDR2 systems for 3X the price.
>>537961706Resources are being allocated away from video games and towards AI. Some of that reallocation is driven by consumers using AI, some of it is driven by investors speculating that more consumers are going to use AI. In the end this is the best way to determine how much of our resources should go to each industry. Also if you're over 14 and care about video games then you're a faggot.
>>537962103You can view it as the monopoly board game, at first its fun and you can roam freely on the board, after a while, only 1-2 players accumalte all the wealth and every move on tje board becomes super expensive, then you become bancrupt...
>>537961706i can literally only play minecraft on that piece of garbage if I disable the internet connectionnot joking
>>537961706 Here's the thing, the triple-a gaming industry, as it is known currently, is only continuing on year to year because of the amount of hype money and funding provided by third party sources or by the companies that make the games themselves. It is pretty analogous to a zombie that only continues shambling because of continued cash meals. The big hype days of E3 and midnight releases and actual advancements between consoles are over for the time being. There are decent gyms here and there like the more recent God of war installment and the Witcher 3, but like I said those days where you had a dozen different game of the years coming out in 2007 are over. There's no reason to pay 700 Bucks for a new xbox with a slightly better frame rate and slightly bigger hard drive when I can Get as much enjoyment out of a PSP with playstation one games or FFTacticsAdvance on my DS. Part of it is also the fact that these prices keep going up and the build time and development times keep going longer... Just for the games to be released broken. It makes it feel like the development teams that produce final fantasy vii or Call of Duty modern warfare we're working with black magic that's been lost to the ages... Being able to release a game that is actually finished on release date.Whether you think it's because of the unions or the dei hires, I'm sure is a little bit of everything but like I said the result is a gaming industry that is only really continuing on because esport ad placement.
>>537962328 I also think that amazing generational tier things like skyrim don't come across very often and probably aren't very creatible. Just looking at Bethesda and the cluster fuck that is them trying to come out with a new fallout or a new elder scrolls and you just know that the eventual end results of whatever they produce is never ever going to be as good as skyrim. There are YouTube channels that have a better handle on the lower and history than the actual people who make the game at this point.

>>537963590That's about 63 Cheesy bean and rice burritos from taco bell...but to play *what* exactly? That you cant emulate on a 40$ smart phone for free? What are you buying that ps5 or XboxSeriesX to play? Fortnite?
>>537962328Devs were better back in the 80s and 90s because they didnt do meme "video game dev" degrees. They were programmers and comp sci majors.They made great games because they could solve problems. Need 8 bit music? OK gimme 30 mins. Entire game cant go over 14mb? Ok gimme a day.Take some nerd who did a uni degree in 2015, he cant figure out shit, he was trained to make hubcaps and "print "hello world"". The companies hire 150 graphic designers and 200 programmers to do work that took 3 guys in the 90s.The real bonus from old devs is their creativity. You cant experiment or use duct tape/superglue to hold shit together as hubcap designer #123, so you never get creative.A really good example of this is an old game "betrayal at kondor". The devs reached out to Raymond e feist to write the story for the game set in his book series universe. The smug author says "you cant afford me" and sells them licenced rights instead.They wrote the story themselves and it was so good the faggot author actually wrote a book based on the games story.This is why zoomers are fucked, alphas even moreso. They wont ever understand the creative mind isn't some fag shit cunt female, its a dude who understands systems enough to manipulate them for the outcome he wants in ways that normies can't understand.
>>537961706Governments (especially the US and China) are pushing massive investment in AI causing this mess. That's not capitalism.
>>537961706How come only tvs get better and cheaper at the same time
>>537961706FREE MARKET capitalism is the best, but parasitic central banks in the monetary layer oversupplying currency is going to fuck whatever you put in the economic layer.
>>537962103Literally on affected Rockefeller jr everyone else used loopholes. Overall was symbolic and did jackshit.
>>537961706It isn't.You are.
>>537961706Because what we have is a dictatorship of the shareholders and ultra-wealthy.
>>537961706Because capitalism turned into a pile of financing scams. All this shit is cartoonishly impractical and the final AI "product" would be unaffordable in comparison to actual wagies being paid very well.I strongly suspect this is more about surveillance and pricing the average person out of personal computing.
>>537961706AI that is being bankrolled by taxdollar, go ahead and say that the government subsidizing companies is capitalism.
>>537964060Every issue we have would be far worse without a central bank anon.The entire purpose of separating the printing of money from the governing body is to prevent what happened in Turkey, and Zimbabwe. Stop being dumb.
>>537964029Because they’re selling your viewing habits and making more than you could ever spend in 10 lifetimes on televisions
>>537964224Parasitic governments in the monetary layer is a distinction without difference.
>>537964443Oh, sorry I didn't know you were a lolbert.
>>537964186>I strongly suspect this is more about surveillance and pricing the average person out of personal computing.yes.they hate the freedom the public has given themselves.
>>537962184During the pandemic I got ambitious and was going to build a NAS with RAID to centralize all my files into a redundant system that could easily be backed up. Instead I binge watched a bunch of stuff I had been meaning to catch up on. I had a dozen SATA III SSDs for the project. Sold them recently for 4X what I paid for them five years ago. Who the fuck needs SATA III in current year? I don't know but I sold them in a single lot to a single buyer. Being lazy paid off for once.

>>537961706>messThat's inflation, faggot.Pay up.
>>537961706the nose people
>>537961706>If capitalism is so great then why is the computer industry such a messCapitalism is like fire: only useful when under control.
>Consumer products are going up in price because our government has given the go ahead for tech companies to ignore copyright law to create technology that will, in their own estimates, eliminate literally 10s of millions of high paying white collar jobs and potentially destroy capitalism as we know it
It's fake. It's not organic. Prices are getting higher and higher because they don't want you to own a PC or even console anymore. Rent it in the cloud. That's what they want. It's all fucking theater. At one point it's going to be some Amazon x Nvidia bullshit
>>537963979The government getting involved isn't a bug, it's a feature. When you're rich you get to buy off the government.
