>>729081250Who the fuck even uses this shit?
You'd have to be a NEET to play more than 3 hours of videogames a day
>>729081250Gonna do what I always do
>>729081385smart people
>"wtf is GeForce now?">cloud service(stopped reading there)Literally who cares?
>>729081578you mean good goys
>>729081250Isn't pc gamepass offering the same shit but with games included for lower price?Fuck cloud gaming. If I want cloud gaming, I can just stream my own PC to other devices.You get 4080 in highest tier btw
>>729081385I've seen Deck only gamers mention using it to play AAA slop on their deck.
>>729081646Only /trash/ posters hungry for cock use this character to avapost.
I hate the entire concept and the part that worries me about this news is the service must have been successful, that they've got enough customers to squeeze already
>>729081385It is for the future when they begin to resell the witheld hardware back to consumers. Do you think you're going to buy a new RTX card in 2026+?
I use it to play modern games because I can't run UE5 stuff
>>729082404hardware *as service*
What the fuck is geforce now and who the fuck uses it?
nvidia goys are willing to take a woodscrews up the ass, their used to this nonsense
>>729081250YOUWILLOWNNOTHING
I have a friend who plays World of Warcraft on his Xbox with a controller using Geforce Now.
>>729082497The guy from the bike cuck meme
>>729081385I used it when I was in the hospital
>>729082389the idea that they're trying to push cloud gaming with high prices is mostly bullshit, nvidia is throttling it because consumer spending is worthless to them when they can make literally multiple times the profit on their business to business data center stuff. And cloud gaming stuff is still ultimately just consumer spending.
>>729081250>in the near future aka 5-10 years AI slop will make things so bad that a good PC will cost you between 6 and 10 grands, while consoles will cost over 1200, so garbage like Stadia will make a comeback because people won't have the money for a PC/Console so instead they will pay 40-50 eurodollars per month to "play" i am so tired of this Hell World
>>729082308I thought the point of the deck was that you could play AAA games locally on the go, otherwise why wouldn't you just use one of those controller caddies for your phone?
>>729082793The Deck is a bit too weak for some of the 2025 UE5 AAA slop.
>>729082793The steam deck is only ps4 tier, but it can be used to stream games locally or for emulation.
>>729081385(You) in the future, when owning a personal computer becomes fiscally impossible, or when when it becomes illegal to own a computer made prior to the cyber pandemic (needs to be seized and destroyed because it may still be infected, you can own a dumb terminal that only works with a cloud subscription though)
>>729082793https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95EKfDRNnxMUE5 is just too much for it.
>>729083067They're not gonna confiscate/destroy computers, that's too much effortThere is a strong possibility that a "cyber pandemic" could brick absolutely everything connected to the internet, thoughMy insurance to survive that is basically just a jailbroken Wii (PS1 emulation works now!) and a first gen chinkheld with no wifi and no AndroidWait, I got a 20 year old Apple laptop back here too, Mac OS 9. So I guess I'm set with Starcraft/Doom/Deus Ex/Civ3 forever.
the Owning Nothing will continue unitl morale improves.
>>729082909Even at 800p medium? Did nyiddia pay off ebin games to make games built on their engine borderline unplayable to fuck over Radeon? And Sweeney (silly name) has the nerve to bitch about Apple's anticompetitive practices
>>729083597>Even at 800p medium?Yes. The anon that called it PS4 tier was right, so it struggles with some games designed for PS5/XSX.
>>729083697I always thought PS4 was getting photorealistic to the point of being soulless compared to the 360, and I don't get the creative design philosophy of developers who say "you just have to see the individual sweat pores on MC's exposed muffin top in order for my creative vision to be realized", unless that's not what we're talking about and the current generation just runs like shit
Streaming games sounds like shit and not just lag.What's the fucking point if you can't install nude mods or cheat or emu etc. . . just play the EA / Ubisoft slop gay nigga games with no control (mods/cheats/Reshade and other tools).

>>729081385Literally no one. I spend way too much time chating about videogames and computers and in all my trolling of the lowest depths of those forums I can think of one real person, not a bot or shill, that uses Gefore Now. I don't know how the financials of this venture play out, but I suspect Nvidia is doing it to depreciate certain costs or avoid channel stuffing. Keeping all those GPUs ready just in case the service takes off* canät possibly make sense otherwise.*GFN has been around for years and hasn't taken at all. IIRC it's even older than Google's now-dead Stadia project.EDIT: FUCK THESE DICE THINGS HOLY SHIT

The list goes on. In 15 years you'll be sucking off Nvidia like you suck off Valve today.
this is the future they are setting up now, you will not be able to run games locally very soon
>>729085754I already suck off Nvidia, but I don't use cloud shit because it's worthless except to people in third world countries.

>>729086253>>729086245> The poors played on consoles in the 90s, while enthusiasts shelled out $4000 on a gaming PC. Enjoy Super Mario's Bing Bing Wahoo Toddler Touching Mayhem.Need I remind you that Half Life 2 and Doom 3 specs were gatekeeping PC gamers from playing back in the day? The GTX 10 Pascal family is alive because PC gaming has priced people out since the mid 2010s. 8GB VRAM GPUs sold in the last 5 years are ewaste. $500 RAM and $900 for 16GB VRAM NVIDIA cards.
>>729082793My Deck in a certified Unc machine. I have no intention of playing anything on it released after 2012 or so.
>>729086683>talk about 90s>"BUHWHUTABOUT THE 2000S??????"Go back to Mumbai, dalit.
>>729086551According to Valve's survey, a meager 94.02% of PC users were on Windows as of November 2025I have to remind myself sometimes that /v/ users are very stupid and autistic and would unironically fail pic related
>>729086171Nobody has the internet for it. I can stream across my own LAN and it's uncomfortable beyond casual shit. Also>5080 levelWhy would I want to play at a budget card level when I can get a $5090 for under $4k?
>>729086683They're only "ewaste" if the developers don't optimize for em.And now that it's pretty clear that people will not upgrade, guess what? it's a choice between optimizing or not selling.
>>729086846>Windows works>linux cultists bitch and moan to Windows users about X and Y and Z>Windows users just want shit to work>it does on Windows>linux cultists lose their fucking minds
>>729086846If Anne and Sally both jumped off a bridge would you follow them?
>>7290868868GB VRAM cards came out with the GTX 1000 family in 2016. Move. The. Fuck. On.
>>729086913>Windows worksIt is stopping doing so, which is why people are moving to linux.If windows was still as good as W7, everyone would be happy and linux would still be a niche thing no one gives a fuck about.
I stream my own PC to work and i notice Input delay at 10 MS Ping.Imagine how bad it is when using these Services for most people.
>>729086993It would be extremely painful
>>729086683the best console you can buy ties a $380 gpuyou console goyim sold your freedom for a $200 discount
>>729087016Sorry, people buy what they can buy, and if they can't buy 16GB cards they wont, and the developers will have to deal with it.Games are a product for the mass, they're priced for the mass.Crysis learned the hard way (in sales), what means to be top end.
>>729082793>I thought the point of the deck was that you could play AAA games locally on the go,Are you actually retarded?

>>729082373You seem to know a lot about that. Hungry?
>>729086913The topic was operating systems being insecure and able to be remotely disabled by the powers that be, which you have a choice to not use

>forced update fries your cardjust a silly things :^)
>>729087186you're brown, retarded, don't understand technology and you sold your freedom
>>729087382Picrel.>>729087417Glad you got past the captcha finally, Steamies schizo. Steam will live longer than you (especially with machete wielding psychos roaming your favela).
>>729087471The thing is people are more hesitant about doing updates than ever because one update can break things, like the absolute shitshow that is Nvidia drivers.
>>729081250buy a cheap used enterprise server and a b580 install windows server on it and then make a sunshine streaiming server. total cost around 500$ and you can keep it forever and do other stuff with it. subscriptions are a scam. selfhost everything. pirate everything. ROW ROW FIGTH THE POWA.
>>729087158Always a bit peckish, but I'm on a diet...
>>729087127>"i-it doesn't matter that Microjeets are openly saying they'll have an AI recording everything you do."I actually was fine with Win 11 as an alternate boot a year back and even I find this to be insane levels of coping.
PC vegan sad coping thread.
>>729087468I don't know what the point is in trying to counter-bandwagon for Linux; just emphasize individual choice and make fun of them for not being american
>>729087604What NPU is it using on my PC to do the AI work? Where do you see Recall installed or even available to install?But it's using a mystery NPU to do all this. Just trust a fat person who worships a MSDOS clone.
>>729087620Your console has less good games than the optiplex.You can't beat the optiplex, no one can beat the optiplex.
>>729087557This is why updates will be forced.
>>729087785FEWER, FAGGOT.
>>729087734Not many people use freedos.Everyone that use is based as fuck, but not many people do.
cloud gaming with moonlight/sunshine is amazing though, how come /v/ never talks about it. I'm barely at my PC Nowadays.
>>729081250Schizos were right again, huh? Good thing I upgraded my system at the start of the year. I'll keep using my setup until 2030.By then either the world is over or the shit show is done.
>>729087734interesting that the goalposts have moved over time from>it has to have an ARM processorto>it has to have an NPU
>>729087734Anon I think it's reductive to assert that Spyware would be called something simple like palantir_mossad_capture.dll.When people I know for a fact have less than my best intentions at heart, in this instance the Microsoft executives, are speaking excitedly about how they intend to rape me, I think it's wise to listen to them.
>>729088034Because that's just using another computer you own, instead of the whole "you will have nothing and you will be happy" shi.
>>729083067i don't think anyone here owns a country but if they did i don't think buying one computer would break the treasury.
>>729086138you pay a monthly subscription to enable online content
>>729082793the goydeck turned out to be an ewaste scampeople are simply coping with their buyer's remorse
>>729085453>>729085560thanks doc

>>729082730doubt the AI bubble will last that long when the AI corpos are already talking to the mutt gubmint about bailouts
>>729081250I don't get it. Is this 2024? This new is old as fuckLimit was introduced like a year ago
>>729081250Unless it's made mandatory across all video cards, there's no point.
>>729088034that is>locally hosted with hardware you own>requires you to actually play gamesthus the pajeets in this latrine aren't gonna talk about it
>>729081250these faggots are killing pc gayming and you retards are just standing by and letting it happenyou're worse than consolecucks if you buy geforce now
>>729086163Sounds about right for a 4090 build. The GPU alone is like $2k
>>729081250Btw all of this happens because US being jew about the microchip technology. It's natural every corporation in need of those chips start being jew about because they can.
>>729088207Didn't Linus himself say he was a woke communist? I'd rather deal with the American corporation, thanks.
>>729082524Dumb meme you already don't own your games
>>729085754Well at least I am against steam, cosmetic dlc, always online and in the future whatever this game streaming shit is.
>>729086138Ironically enough I've only heard indians use vegan as an insult like that.
>>729089719american companies are mostly terrible and you should avoid their stuff, but the principle is that they ought to be allowed to be as terrible as they want to be and the consumer has the choice to not do business with them
>>729088841>AAA games are struggling>actually deck is strugglingHow much did valve pay them
Even Microsoft doesn't limit the time you can use xcloud. They're outjewing the jews here.
>>729082626Makes sense. That or being homeless.

>>729089931Torvalds is a Finn. All Finns know how to make is memes (like linux).

>>729081646It just shows no matter who or what you are, nvidia is gonna fuck you in the ass without a hint of shame.
>>729081250Should I get a 5070 ti to keep me for 5 or so years Or should I upgrade to a 5080?
>>729082389They're astroturfing this to justify their insane obsession with data centers, it's the most basic service they offer and since their military surveillance AI crap is being made by other companies they need something to look good in reports so it's perfect.
>>729081385they're starting to force it anon, that's why the consumer stuff is disappearing
Gamepass is much better than this. Yes this probably looks better but you need to buy the games yourself while Gamepass included hundreds of games you can play with the subscription.
>>729090194based on pricing it's the 7900 XTholy fuck who is paying that much for a generation old 70 class card
>>729083536>They're not gonna confiscate/destroy computersThey'll stop releasing updates to your operating systems and release a kill switch.But yeah, you'll be allowed to have an offline retro PC.
>>729089185Those bailouts will be handled by taxpayers so this has like one or two years still, until people realize they're geting assfucked sideways into oblivion and start burning down the data centers.
>>729089185it isn't about profitability, it's about the controlling of data and having more control over it than the opposition, that's why none of these companies make money, it doesn't matter, it's all propped up nonsense for governments/countries to go against each otherit's a digital cold war on the control of information
>>729088841It was pretty obvious that thing was an indie and emulation machine even Baldur's Gate 3 struggled a ton when it came out and that was like two years ago. It showed signs of obsolesce pretty much since it came out.They need to refresh it like every year or two to keep up but then the value of the thing crashes when everyone sells used units and floods the market to buy the new one.It's a strange position to be in because it's not a console.
>>729088841Show your benchmarks on the Deck.
>>729090480>based on pricingholy fuck nvidia cucks are fucking stunted
>>729081385You're not allowed to own anything, welcome cloud gaming.
>>729091126That's why I buy from Steam, the only place I can own and legally share my games.
>>729090506Huh.Wouldn't this have been disabled by the fact that every 3G tower has been shut down?>congratulations, you glowniggered yourself
>>729091257Based. Gabe needs another mega yacht and I'm chipping int this winter sale
>>729091316This is usually only used in corporate settings by IT departments remote managing hundreds or thousands of laptops.Any computer relying on this was replaced long ago.
>>729082730>once the majority is on cloud services games will start being released as cloud-only citing piracy concerns, thereby forcing the rest into subscriptions even if they have their own gaming PC
I gave you life, NVIDIA. I bought your fucking RIVA TNTs. And this is what you do to me now?
>>729091257You don't own steam games either.However the DRM is shit and it's absurdly easy to "own" steam games by just dropping a dll to the folder.
>>729091450i5-2500k undefeated!
>>729090532>until people realize they're geting assfucked sideways into oblivion and start burning down the data centersThe powers that be will just shift the blame onto some "deplorable" group and continue their fuckery like they've done for centuries.
>>729081250I don't buy nVidia memes so this doesn't affect me. If you're stupid enough to call for marketing, you deserve to taken for your money.
>>729091450I was actually wondering because I have an i5-2400 desktop with no built-in wifi tucked away and it'd apparently be a neat Digital Armageddon box since it's loaded up with Dolphin and Skyrim
>>729086846Is the answer not that Sally will check the basket first and the box second?
>>729081578post picture of average smart person using geforce NOW
>>729091330I like the fact that he buys yachts, because it makes Steamies Schizo seethe.

>>729091789
>>729082389it's a gamblethey think they are in the right place now to lessen production on consumer GPUs while also pushing their service as an alternative
>>729091821I think that's preferable to just accumulating money into some swiss bank account and going all:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEZQ00OOxY
>>729091787Congratulations, you are capable of theory of mind, like most humans above toddler age.
>>729091330>>729091821Does he actually do that or is it all just a meme?
>>729081250Shit's why I refuse premium and "lifetime" contractsEver since Malwarebytes rugpulled the lifetime buyers, I've never committed to an advanced subscription since. I doubt the grandfathered power users are going to be safe for too long either.
>>729092013He does buy yatchs.He also let scientists use his yatchs for deep sea research and such, but he's a man of multiple yatchs
>>729092116More realistic than a flying superfortress. But not as cool now that I think about it.
>>729092013Gabe Newell bought the 50th largest yacht in the world and this is notable for some schizo reasonI've never understood why it's latched onto so much when there's literally dozens of Saudi and Russian oligarchs who own ships twice its size
>>729092205Of course.
>>729092110I'm waiting for the day Nexus Mods rugpulls the people who bought as lifetime sub and makes them pay X a month just like everybody else.
streaming is the future and will be the only option.
>>729092013he did in fact do all that instead of starting his own payment processor like dlsite did
>>729089752Yeah but I can pirate all those games if my ownership is revoked. You can't pirate a GPU.
>>729092353First worlders aren't going to switch payment processors for a game download site. The vast majority of banks use Visa or MC (and Capital One uses Discover) for their debit cards, which are accepted everywhere. Getting a new card to buy vidya would be stupid.
>>729092013he has a literal fleet of these things
>>729081250Just as planned and orchestrated.
>>729081385you if you want to game in 2030
>>729081250would rather do poverty 720p 30fps blurry gaming over streaming shit any day of the fucking week
>>729082389they possibly can't have an huge userbase right nowthe more people will be "forced" on the cloud the shittier the cloud will get
>>729092989imagine being so fucking brown and illiterate that you still post your retarded and illogical mapdo you get off on being an actual shill?
>>729086163RAM is $1000XX90 is $2000You are already at $3000 and you still need the CPU (~$500)Now we are at $3500 and we need a mobo, a case, a cooler, some storage and a PSU still
I thought this shit was like Steam streaming, where you are streaming from your own PC, but it is actually a stream from their serversIf that's the case, it makes sense to be priced.
>>729083536Wouldn't have bricked mine. Even glownigger kernel level was no match for what I had secretly cobbled together.
>>729092989>he's wasting his money>his money>his>that he possesses>he should spend it on things I want him to spend it on>me>me me me me meStop being a third worlder, I guess. If a rapper buys a dollar sign swimming pool, it doesn't affect me. You get mad at the very idea of someone living comfortably, though.
>>729085754>In 15 years you'll be sucking off Nvidia like you suck off Valve today.15 years ago shit like Onlive was getting press coverage for being "the future of gaming", and it's long been dead in the water now.If even fucking Google with their datacenters in practically every major city on Earth can't figure out how to make game streaming work, who says Nvidia (a hardware company through and through) can?
>>729093328It makes sense for it to cost money to operate, but not for there to be any demand for it as a service, after all who needs more game on the go than Umamusume
>>729093707If gabe doesn't have my best interests in mind by making a payment processor to stop the random JP game bans I will just take my money to the JP nintendo eshop, it's that simple.>Steam doesn't need your goonerslop money anyway!Playstation said the same last gen.Look how that went.
>>729093974NTA but I've seen instances where companies have introduced terrible cancerous ideas and failed and then just waited a couple years to do it againLook at the Xbox One Presentation of Doom and how everything in it that we (rightfully) hated and rejected ended up de facto the next gen anyway
>>729092989You can do the fuck you want with the money, that's the whole point of capitalism.If you want a system that the money goes to where is "more useful" (as decided by a board of idiots), that's socialism/communism.
>>729081250he has spokenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUrJVdF2me0Embrace Retro everyone, gatekeep trannies, learn C+ and begin bringing old multiplayer services back to life, even DOS games.let those consoomers, rich fags and all mongoloids kill each other for their dead buble>>729088034because you are a fucking vagabond who cant stay 3 minutes focused on somethingyou are what demolition man warned us about it, an asexual emotionless freak
>>729094173dont come crying when valve bans a game you were looking forward to because it isnt kosherdont tell me i didnt warn you
>>729094153Nobody cares. Steam will outlive you, Pranjesh Sukhdickdeepta Vikram.
>>729094306damn, if only there was a way to buy pc games that didn't involve steamoh wait, it's literally the easiest way to distribute games, just host a fucking website
>>729094160>where companies have introduced terrible cancerous ideas and failed and then just waited a couple years to do it againThat's the point I'm trying to make. Companies have been trying this happen for the better part of 20 years now and still can't find either technological solutions to their shortcomings (especially since you can only do so much to reduce latency) or a good way to market it to consumers.I'd say it's more likely to see people move to playing games entirely on their phones than to see game streaming take off.
>>729094306When has Valve ever blocked a game rated M or below?
>>729092110>Ever since Malwarebytes rugpulled the lifetime buyers,What happened there?
>>729088034It's amazing because it's local between you and your machine. Stuff like syncthing, sunshine, moonlight etc is peak thanks to the control you have and relatively low latency. Cloud streaming and gaming through companies like Nvidia is peak goyslopMoonlight is truly amazing though I'll give you that. Can even use my 3ds as a controller for VNs and rpg maker games
>but Onlive wasn't REAL communism
>>729085453>Don't use shitty game streaming service>Monthly cost: $0Cool.
>>729094598Malwarebytes stopped selling lifetime subscriptions in 2014 and in 2024 deactivated the accounts of everyone who bought one, giving blanket statements that 100% of lifetime users violated the TOS in some way (such as not buying a new lifetime subscription when they got a new computer, or failing to register a Malwarebytes Portal account when it was introduced years later)
>>729090347Bump
>>729094919i'm having a sexual emergency
>>729094702>Moonlight is truly amazing though I'll give you that. Can even use my 3ds as a controller for VNs and rpg maker gamesFor me it's a vita.Setting up a local vpn and dns also allows you to use it anywhere across the internet, it's so good.
>>729090506I haven't updated in 4 years
remember when Adobe just stopped selling PhotoShop/Premiere/After Effects/etc. to people?I still think it's insane that happened and the world just accepted it
>>729084789The only answer for this is war, the only answer for this is a billion or 4 or people dying under MAD and "rich people" safehouses failing or getting The PURGE treatment.but none of this will happen because mankind became too weak and cowardly enough to do so.
>>729095153no one was buying those products to begin with so nothing really changed for the consumers
>>729095153It comes out cheaper with the subscription model unless you just never upgrade. Most shops prefer it that way since upgrades are rolled out automagically. MS still sells static Office versions, but most people/businesses have switched to 365 for convenience.
>>729081441If you work 40 hours a week and are single then you can easily play more than thatNot everybody is a good goy slave that works 50+ hours a week
>>729094843Surprised this didn't end in a law suit. Peak Jew behavior.
>>729081250cloud gaming fucking sucks>insane big input delay>image full of artefacts when too much action on screen when too much action>bitrate limited to 75Mbs(won't even hit that)>settings not even on Ultraplaying locally is instant and infinity crisper
>>729095339>it comes out cheaper
>>729095397Photoshop was like $700 retail. If you're upgrading with each release (like a company that uses it seriously, and not some poorfag on 4chan who can still pirate it to this day), the subscription will be cheaper, especially when you get a multiseat license.
>>729094919I don't like how anons treat active threads as "the thread" for any query vaguely related to the topic, especially not on /v/ when there already exists /vg/ - Video Game Generals and /g/ - Generals
>>729095093the issue with the vita is that it's severely bitrate limited due to its shitty wifi card. I say this as someone who uses it, it completely chokes on anything with high motion or foliage. Works well when it does, but a similar device with a better decoder would be amazing.
>>729085754People still shit on MTX though>SteamPeople were upset that they had to download files for the installation to finish.Which is understandable because when you buy physical you should to get the full game.
>>729081385>>729081578Incredibly dumb people that cannot into math use this.If you spend even just 3-4hrs average per day gaming then you pass the break-even point on actually buying the graphics card in question well before -- years before; actually -- it's would be written off and be in need of replacement by a better spec card. Keep also in mind: you are getting an RTX4000 series card on GF Now, not top of the line. And that's only if you take the ultimate tier of subscription. If you take the mid-tier you get an unspecified RTX series card. So, likely whatever bottom of the barrel is available as a hot spare. A wavering 3060 on its last legs, perchance. And you're streaming, which means you're not getting a full crips uncompressed 4K ever -- if you're even allowed to select a 4K output resolution to begin with. What you get will be thoroughly crunched, compressed, and frame limited to max 60 FPS but more realistically 30.In other words: an aging card employed locally at medium quality level will still give you a better experience than GF Now would, for many years.
>>729081385Zoomers.
>>729085754I own an Intel Arc card, your argument is invalid
>>729095397Man I remember having a Zune in high school
>>729094919peak female form
>>729082389After the past 10 years of dei brown women screaming into a camera flopping nonstop i've begun to believe they're actively just shittesting us and hoping we believe them and buy their new retarded shit.
>>729090387Correct; and not just via consumers.If you actually look at some of the marketing material Nvidia sends to publishers and developers, they are emphasizing the ability to efficiently offload AI workloads for games to Nvidia's AI data centres. Because - surprise - GF Now is just a bunch of hot spare capacity for the LLMs that's running in the same data centres, of course. GF Now is obviously going to be used to fill up the workload on those graphics cards, during the AI's idle time.Which is why you're getting the 100hr limit and the strict lack of guarantee on minimal graphics card hardware specification for everything but the top subscription level. It's not necessarily that you're going to get a game running on an actual RTX 2000 or 3000 series cards on lesser subscription plans -- though probably plenty of older decommissioned hardware is probably still being relegated to burn out its last life in that role, honestly -- but probably that cards will be running on custom hardware drivers that allow explicitly setting workload quota, such that you'll get something with performance 'roughly equivalent to [..]' while the other part of the GPU is crunching AI workload.I.e. GF Now is filler. Filler Nvidia NEEDS you to pay for, to lower the operational costs on their AI data centres.And one way or another- they're probably going to get you to use it. If not via normal business means, then via more drastic measures. We already saw them announce a stop on hardware driver support for Windows 10 going into 2026, even though Windows 10 still has extended security updates available to end-users. Sign number one.
>>729094306And how letting (you) decide which games can be published and how gabe can spend his money will solve anything?
>>729091316Glowniggers can spin up 3g towers at will and access Intel ME. Plus new CPUs probably have 5g backdoors either greater data speed
>>729097296No evidence that the NSA has access to it, and the NSA is concerned with browns like you. We worry about the FBI and Secret Service in the USA.
>>729094562LMGT anon. Let's see. Games banned from Steam...Here we go: Dungeon Travellers 2.Originally released on PS Vita, rated M. PC release on Steam denied.Looks like there was quite a stink about it in the gaming journo sphere as well.

>>729097139>they're probably going to get you to use itthey have no leverage. they're already pricing the average dude out of their products. they've already surrendered their soft-power to chase ai, they've no real cards left to play. Like retarded dev studios making their own game launcher and always coming crawling back to steam. They have no carrot left.
>>729095027That a fat man you homo

>>729097439>anyone that disagrees with my kike masters is a dirty communist!Lel
>>729092353why would he, steam bans those kinda games without needing payment processors telling him to
>>729081385My Dad is a macfag but wanted to try out arc raiders, I suggested he try this out until it gets ported.
>>729097853too bad faggot, i love being cybertronian.
>>729098094>They have no carrot left.True. But they have plenty of stick.And if push comes to shove and they want to FORCE people to move to cloud gaming, then one draconic massive dick move they could pull would be to announce them stepping out of local gaming hardware entirely - followed by pull their driver-signing key at a due date. That would cause the Windows driver to fail to load for damn well all normie gamers passed that date. Every Windows driver they ever released that was signed with that key would no longer be accepted.They could even one-two it with Microsoft and their XBox Gamepass, with Microsoft approving it because dead-end unmaintained kernel mode drivers leave a vulnerability in Windows 11, yada yada yada ...
>>729100370rather he in particular is a smelly unwashed hippie breadtuber larping as a journalist>captcha: N
>>729091912How small/big are the chances than other gpu fill the hole they leave? Im pretty sure besides whales and and some "elitist" retards, no one is running to but the latest njewdia gpu, and normies probably wont care meanwhile they can play their games.
>>729101192How is he a hippie? Do you even know what a "hippie" is?
>>729093049THats the funny part, now that they (surely) have an small userbase, the service would run decently (not accounting to the inherent lag). If the moment comes, and that becomes a big userbase, it will come playing at very low bitrate, and the appearance of premium tiers and all the bullshit.
>>729100952The ISPs will be a massive barrier, because cloud gaming becoming common make the internet a LOT more expensive for em.ISP are basically like cocaine sellers, buying the pure thing for a lot more, then watering it down with caching and the fact most people don't actually use all the bandwidth 24/7.Having half of your consumers consuming 10+ mbps of uncacheable data for several hours per day is a massive nope.And to add salt to the injury, "interactive video" just compress worse because you can't do things like motion prediction very well.
>>729100952Wanting to ban personal compute is a stupid fairy tale like burning 6 million people to death in ovens
>>729101724This is the second time in a week that I've heard of ISPs doing something good by accident while being greedy sociopaths
>>729100952I bet AMD is having wet dreams with that...
>>729092974Just buy chinese graphics cards if they want to get like that.
>>729101343if you have a higher mental image of them than a smelly ungroomed leftist then you've been propagandized by boomers
>>729101883What was the first one?
>>729102314Cox v. SonySony is suing ISPs directly for not banning people who pirate from the internet, Cox's argument is that what people do with the internet service they pay for isn't their problem (like could you sue Ford if somebody used their cars to escape a bank robbery)
>>729100952'Forcing people' would require future games to be good. There is less than 0 chance of that happening. People play old games. People old enough to have already played those are just playing with AI chat and image gen and aren't coming back to games until they can make their own easily and share with other hobbyists. Companies making games is all but finished. They don't have the desire or motivation to make something good, they never did.
>>729083536>They're not gonna confiscate/destroy computers, that's too much effortAHAHAHAHAHAI COME FROM A COUNTRY WHERE THEY WENT DOOR TO DOOR AND KILLED PEOPLE FOR HAVING "contraband" AND YOU SAY THE GAYEST STUPIDST SHIT!I WATCHED MY UNCLE GET HIS BRAINS BLOWN OUT FOR STANDING UP TO IT AND YOU SAY "nahh it wont happen"AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAMY ENTIRE FAMILY WAS KILLED FOR STRAIGHT UP REFUSING TO WORK IN A COAL MINES AND YOU SAY "nah, wont happen" YOU DUMB FOOL!Enjoy what future you voted for.

>>729085754>you should never criticize anything because you are not God and can't control everything that happensI don't understand this argument.
>>729081250100 hours is 3+ hours a day
>>729085453>average cost for a good pc $4500Even at current prices, $2000 is upper limit on what you should pay for a machine to play everything.
>you have to buy the games separately
>>729096065What about those retroid pockets?
>>729103506The upshot is that if a user ever moves out of Elbonia or Kerplachistan or whatever, they'll have the games on their Steam accounts to use on a real PC.
>>729085453>>729085560I built my 4k gaming rig for $1600. It hasn't dropped in value at all either so I can sell it and get my money back.
I guess this service just launched pre-enshittified.
>>729103506
>>729090242At least he doesn’t use troonix like Linus race-mixing tips
Why would we care about any of this? Chinkhelds will always be here, if you already have a 3DS or a Vita you're set for life with emulators

>>729103887meds shartytroon
>>729095339I have been using computers since the 80s and software has only upgraded twice in that time. DOS -> windows, x86->x64. The programs I use most have not changed in 25 years and the ones that have have certainly not improved.
>>729104375Reminder the sharty are the kikes spamming CP here while shitting on people for being lolicons. Pure Jewish mental illness.
>>729081250Soon ya'll be using this service and thanking your lords at Nvidia for the privilege of paying for digital entertainment once your GPU dies and a new one costs $10,000+
>>729096523Even the worst on board graphics will have better performance than the shitshow of latency streaming from another machine would be.
>>729102842Hey sorry you live in a shithole, but it absolutely cannot happen here. There are few people stupid enough to knock door-to-door in a nation where we all have guns and can kill whoever comes to the door. If you think there is any organization on the planet that would do this for hundreds of millions of people I have a bridge to sell you. But I'm sure you will respond with something suitably retarded, let's hear it.
>>729105919This LARP you do where you pretend that Americans aren't the most docile goyslaves on the planet is always hilarious.
>>729105919The only one who might shoot are your feral niggers living in ghettos. All the rest will voluntary take a dildo up the ass and sing halaluya.
You would be smarter to take out a loan, buy a 5090 and pay off the loan over 5 years than to go with geforce now.
>>729105919You're both retarded but you're crazy if you think the guns are going to save us. Covid proved they won't. What they did to the Jan 6thers proves they won't. The real reason door-to-door confiscation of anything won't work here is that there are too many dangerous niggers in this country. The left would oppose it because it's "racist" and it "disproportionately targets minorities". Whites, especially anglos have a hardon for handing away their freedom for safety.
>>729106001>>729106196>>729106829Reminder there are millions of gun owners and the US army infantry is only 50k people. Keep coping that you aren't allowed to own guns.
>>729082730The principle problem with cloud gaming is the cost to the providers. All those servers in all those datacenters with all those pipes and the staff to manage them costs a hell of a lot of money. If PCs get too expensive for joe schmoe to own one, that doesn't make cloud gaming any more of a winning proposition for nVidia, microsoft, amazon...The model only works if 50+ people effectively timeshare a single node by paying their rates but only playing a few hours a week. But the problem is most people are gaming at the SAME time. Since latency is a bitch they can't even use those machines for EUs or JPs to ride out the quiet periods for more money, they need to have MORE machines in MORE datacenters around the world.At this point cloud gaming only exists to ensure that nobody else comes into the space and figures out the economic model before the big boys.
>>729105159>shitshow of latencyIt's even worse than OnLive was.I thought I could use it to try out shit like Apex so I could see roughly what it was like without having to root my machine with chinese spyware anti-cheat. I expected lag, but holy fuck this was bad. I tried it again with HL2 in the early hours of the morning at it wasn't any better. The 3rd time I had to queue for 20mins. Fucking useless service.
>>729106001Hey I was right, you made a retarded comment. Go ahead and google "officer shot during raid" and imagine that over hundreds of millions of people. There isn't an occupying force that would even attempt that, but go ahead and keep being a retarded third-worlder, it is to be expected!>>729106196If what you were saying were true nobody would have guns, but we do. I swear there is now a contractual obligation for new posters here to have double-digit IQ.
