Now that PC and console gaming are on death row thanks to AIbros buying up all the vital PC components for their slop factories, are you prepared for the transition to cloud gaming?
>b-but it's shit cause of latency!
Doesn't matter; it'll be that or nothing in a few years.
>>
No, but I'm prepared to not play any new release
>>
>>727773198
>it'll be that or nothing
nothing sounds great. total industry death for 4 years will let them focus on making a game good. meanwhile slop like sport ball will come out every 6 months as it does.

Okay PC Vegan. Castrate yourself. Perhaps publicly on your /v/ Valve Vegan PCMR discord. Any day now Steam Machines will take over the world with their 8GB VRAM GPU and outdated PC specs in 2026 at $999. What a bargain, PC vegans.

I don't necessarily think it's is to push cloud gaming. I think the decline in hardware in is just the collapse in general.

What’s changed from crypto bros buying all the pc parts up in 2020? Why do zoomers only speak in hyperbole? I noticed this generation is extremely feminine and act in a way women do.
>>
>>727776054
Crypto mining didn't cause major PC part suppliers to drop their consumer brand products to focus solely on selling to enterprise crypto miners.
>>
>>727775012
crying nintendofag
>>
>>727775874
all you need is 16gb for gaming
>>
>>727776281
That doesn’t change the reality that crypto mining basically crippled the average consumer in its own right, completely making it impossible to buy parts or a pc without spending about 6x what you’d spend normally, and completely hamstrung the used parts market because everyone was too scared to buy parts because of the likelihood of it being from a pc that was run to its absolute limits for outrageous prices. I get what you’re saying, but let’s not act like that entire period of time wasn’t an absolute shitshow itself.
>>
>>727776054
A lot is different from back then. GPU prices are still ridiculous, RAM now costs $400 and you also can't skimp out on the CPU anymore since games are starting to actually require good ones. OP is a shitposter but it's objectively true that it costs a lot more to build a good PC now.
>>
>>727776054
What changed is the US is deeply invested in this bubble as a life raft. Late zoomers were raised having social media (instagram, reddit) as a serious, indistinguishable part of their lives, where only women have a voice or get to do anything at all.
>>
>>727776848
Keep telling yourself that.
Good luck next year

New gaems are usually shit, so I don't need to upgrade for the foreseeable future anyway.

In the current situation, it's not some crypto bro buying the gpus, it's the company stopping to production of consumer grade goods. End result is similar but it's way worse and will impact everything soon, all prices will go up.

How is PS Plus on PC?

So how long should I wait until the prices go down?

Nvidia started to produce more for AI and continued with the whole "make worse products but charge higher prices" strategy from the crypto boom.
Now RAM manufacturers are (once again) scamming

However long it took GPU prices to go back down after the crypto price hikes.

Cloud gaming is not happening. Google had bad input latency on a fucking wired connection inside their own office when they were showcasing Stadia.

Cloud gaming is a shameless repeat of companies and corporations being horny to have computing based on a master computer only accessible by terminals. Unfortunately that makes zero sense whatsoever outside of information-sensitive government applications or other "we can't trust you" workplaces, so local computing is better 99.99% of the time, and this isn't good for control freaks.

Cloud gaming is supported by control freaks.
>>
>>727782276
Quantum computing is a different beast entirely. Much harder to just shit out datacenters everywhere for it. And then there's the existential threat it poses to cryptography.

Yes, but once the jewish overlords take over and won't let us have our own PCs, consoles and phones anymore, we'll be so fucking starved that we'll happily accept playing with any delays, even if it is several seconds.

Sure they can. They will form SS squads and go house to house to make sure that no one has any electronics that they are not allowed to have. All we'll be allowed is the tamper-proof state-sponsored TV that plays all the brainwashing all day every day.

Nintendo would never support that. Sony probably wouldn't either since they still sell a good amount of hardware. Nvidia and the AI companies might pivot to streaming if the AI bubble pops. Gotta use those data centers for something.
>>
>>727789240
A stick of 512Mb just enough for a thin client will be $100. A stick of 8Gb just enough for 2010 vidya - $10000.
>>
>>727789356
The "AI bubble pop" is like the internet bubble pop.
Most attempts, specially the stupid ones die, and what's left is 2-3 megacorporations, assuming one of the existing megacorps don't just turn into AI factories.
It's not the death of the technology or profits coming from it, but the demand that they actually offer something useful and profitable.
