This is a good thing, graphics peaked a decade ago now these useless devs will have to optimize their shit games to run on potatoes if they want it to sell, while I built my PC in 2023 so it should last me for a long time.
>>729766750You have been reposting this same twitter screencap literally all day long.
>>729766750It's over for PC gaming.
>>729766750Premium games will be prohibitively expensive for the non-white world to afford, which will improve virtually all multiplayer games and online communities. If you’re a Gacha or F2P fag though, or if you enjoy games with low system requirements… oh boy. Get ready for the flood of Indians, South Americans, South East Asians, and even Africans.

>>729767220if AI actually delivers on its promise to shareholders of enabling mass layoffs
>>729766963Of course sony, MS and nintendo get their memory at a flat rate yes siree no changes there no way hose.>>729767242dude unoptimised shit sells well NOW.
Threadly reminder....
>>729766750It truly is.Now graphicwhore PCfags can shut the fuck up about consoles holding the industry back.There won't be any technological progress in PC gaming for several years.
>>729766750It makes me super fucking angry to realize that all those faggy retro/ps2 style games use slop engine 5 therefore even if the graphics look like they are from ps2 or 360 they run like absolute shit. and thats for 3d games. I hate that its either that or endless metroidvanias, especially those ones with that stupid vhs overlay ones that give me a fucking migrane just watching a letsplay. Oh, and the tranny gooner games and visual novels. horror games are becoming more kino though, so there may be a silver lining. if AAA actually shits itself and does nothing AAA is cooked, but more likely they will follow the ai slop fest and begin making ai slop games. So there is really no winning here.I'm not really too worried about running out of content before things start to improve again. I still havent played most of the kino games you oldfags gush about, im on gta 4 and rdr1 rn
>>729767423I mean, how much better can it get? At some point idgaf about the "graphics" anymore. BF1 is a ten year old game and it looks amazing.
>>729767842The best horror game of 2024 is a remake of a doom 2 mod though.
>>729767242They simply won't put their game on PC. Nobody can run it and optimizing it for less than ideal hardware would be too expensive.
>>729766750Brings me great joy to know that PCfags are ironically holding gaming back and the fact that even though they can say it's not their fault, it actually is since they built their respective companies up to this level of dominion
Threadly reminder that if you're a right winger, you effectively voted to kill your own hobby
>>729767275The economy will crumble so massively we could be onto a second middle age again, you can't just play pretend to fire 50% of thw workforce worldwide if not even more, without a backup plan and then just believe everything will just continue as normal with literal billions of people unable to earn a single cent, thus unable to purchase anything.
>>729768358They aren't going to release a new console for years now either. We are going to be stuck with PS5 level hardware limitations.
>>729766963Consoles run on AMD GPUs too. And use the same RAM.
>>729766750>bharat nationWhy do i see his shitty screencaps everyday
$5000? A GPU or RAM below 10k is a steal. Think about it: AI is a trillion dollar industry, and once AI superintelligence comes online in 2 months, AI will take over entire everything and make it obsolete. So there is no reason these AI tools, which are literally going to change the entire world and possibly the universe in 2 months, be worth anything less than a million dollars per piece at a minimum.
Thanks Trump.
>>729766750>Still running an i5 with a 1050ti and 8gb of ramOptimize your indieslop, devvies. You wouldn't want to miss out on a sale because someone can't run your game, would you?
>>729768450This. Capitalism requires constant growth. If you cut so many people out of a job and the ability to earn money, their purchasing power will be missing. Furthermore, do you honestly believe those people will just roll over and die? Many will turn to crime. Society as a whole will destabilize.It would not just be a depression. We're looking at a regression.

>>729766750>useless devs will have to optimize their shit games to run on potatoes if they want it to selllollmao even
>>729768952I mean, or they don't and go out of business. Who are they going to sell to other than a handful of enthusiasts with the hardware to run it?
>>729768450Out of touch billionaires failing to cobsider the consequences of their actions? Say it ain't so!
>>729766750Indie and AA devs will feast, AAA will continue to suffer.
>>729766750Yeah, we don't need a PlayStation, Xbox, or non-console-like PC. We'll have Nintendo and Steam hardware to hold us over.
>>729768952>>729769027you will play games trough a video feed and like it you will have no other optionthey will push it hard
>>729769027Unoptemized games have been a problem for at least the last 6 years, what makes you think it'll be any different now/
>>729768745>Furthermore, do you honestly believe those people will just roll over and die? Many will turn to crime. Society as a whole will destabilize.
All Nintendo has to do is fallback on sw1.
I thought competition was supposed to be a good thing?
>>729767219capcom, square, and Ubisoft already are for the switch 2
>>729769334and nobody is buying them
>>729769615>30fps>optimised
>>729769027Anon, don't be stupid. People will accept games that just barely run at 30fps if it's well marketed, big publishers will be entirely unnaffected.TODAY they can already sell unoptimized gamesTODAY they can already tell you to just use upscalingThey won't be affected.
>>729769570Yeah, it's a good thing if there's 30 companies releasing competing products and competing services, not just 2 or 3 at best companies that control 99% of the market.

>>729769570This isn't competition. It's a straight "fuck you" to consumers.
>>729769676are we pretending solid 30fps isn't optimization? because a whole lot of switch 1 ports couldn't even maintain that much.
>>729769768ONE NOTHING WRONG WITH MY POST
>>729769521truthfully if the switch 1 wasn't going to outsell ps2 before it certainly will now with the incoming ram problem.
>>72976989230fps was "fine" 25 years ago.
The only people worried about this are FOMO tards.
>>729766750no they wont their optimize games stupid faggot
games have been shit for over 20 years. Technical limitations led to the peak of creative output in the 90s and it's honestly good if the industry suffers a fatal blow like this where big league studio devs need to scale down and produce better quality games that are more accessible to every potato instead of just rereleasing wanky graphic tech demos over and over.Most likely this won't happen though, we'll get gachaslop and vampire survivors clones
>>729767096>I WILLL KEEP SIMPING>YOU CANT STOP ME>I WILL SIMP FOREVERThe jannies are fags but my god you're worse. Kill yourself.
>>729766878thats all this site is now, faggots go to X to post milquetoast 4chin slop and then screenshot it and post it back here for faggot retards to clap for
>>729771217they won't have a choice since consumer hardware is basically paused, dumb zoomie with no foresight.
>>729766750>Indian job market>economic crash>maximum slop>streaming-only being the answer>good thing
This just means AAA slop and overbloated over marketed single player titles are going to die. Since they rely on graphical fidelity so much.Going forward, dota, LoL, CS, Fortnite will be the only thing people will play for the foreseeable future.
What you're actually seeing is the death of personal computing. The future is you'll rent a thin client which allows you rented access to Microsoft Azure and a cloud PC, where you will play unmoddable games during a 3-6 month availability window, price metered of course, where you play as Harriet Tubman. You will not be allowed to access URLs that aren't approved of, you won't be able to say nigger or post those crime stats or shift the window at all, you won't be running any local models. >bu-but I already have a PCGreat, you'll be part of a dwindling few until it breaks. Local models don't matter when you don't have local hardware. Piracy doesn't exist when you don't own a PC. Narrative breaks can't happen. "Just play old games" won't exist.
>>729768450If governments had any balls or foresight or weren't already in the pockets of the billionaires they would be taxing companies that utilize AI to offset loss of tax income from employees.

>>729768480That is an enormous amount of headroom if you aren't fucking retarded or forcing in rayslop.
AAA will probably just move to the cloudthey produce movie slops anyway so it is not like latency matters for their games
>>729772990Nope, future is Nintendo and Steam hardware, Nintendo and Valve saw this coming a mile away, saw what Sony and Microsoft were doing and going for and made fuck off hardware. Now they're giving devs a choice, those who decide to optimize will live, but ones that will go for cloud streaming or tell people to spend $1K or $2K on game stations will go out of business fast. the era of normalfag is over. The big AAA games are about to come to an anti-climatic end, permanently.
>>729769570It is, which is why essentially 1 company (sort of 2) is bad.
>they will have to optimizefirst time?
>>72977395224fps is fine.
>>729773842Nintendo and Steam get their hardware from the same place as everyone else, it isn't some magical third thing. You also have no idea what "optimization" even is, it's a cargo cult word you learned from a youtuber and started repeating like a lot of the other dumb niggers who post here. "fr fr ong y is this game bigger than a game released in 1995, it must be...OPTIMIZATION!", it's so fucking tiresome trying to talk about anything remotely technical with literal niggers like you who can't think one minute ahead.
>>729766750my only issue is my 3080 started running a little hotter than I'd like, and I stripped the fucking screws trying to redo the thermal paste. So if it fails I'm stuck buying overpriced low-memory bullshit. I expected it would last easily until a good refresh but now not so sure.
>>729766750I just bought a 5090 and I own a 5070ti. am I retarded? Only time will tell, I spent 4.2k cad on it after taxes. Basically everything is selling out. I'll be able to do some cool shit with photogrammetry and cell shaders tho.

HOLY FUCK IT'S ANOTHER SPONSORED JEET_NATION TWITTER THREAD WITH NEWS TAKEN FROM /v/ THE PREVIOUS DAY
>>729774970I understand your frustration, but OPs are just for starting a discussion the ends up with reddit saying literally hitler and /pol/ saying nigger and jews.
>gaming is going to get even lamer and gayerI don't think that is possible.
>>729774467Cope bitch, Nintendo and Valve will own gaming, and you'll be stupid to believe they'll stick with Nvidia and AMD forever, Qualcomm is going to catch up if they already haven't in some areas.
>>729776280I hope this is just bait
>>729776280Netflix will own gaming. If Qualcomm ever caught up to Nvidia, they would be selling to data centers. You can't understand this because you're a retarded nigger, about two standard deviations beneath me, but I'll waste my time and try to explain it to you anyways.Let's look at the motherboard. Who makes motherboards right now? Are those high or low margin items? How many motherboards do you think will be sold when nobody can secure a supply of GPUs, RAM, or SSDs to plug into them? How many companies concerned with the manufacture and sale of motherboards will be able to survive a long winter of one to three years minimum with massively reduced business? How many of nvidia's board partners will be left alive this time next year now that nvidia has told them they have to secure their own memory? By the time all these fantasy scenarios come to pass, the bubble pops, Qualcomm catches up, consumer hardware flies out of somebody's ass, it will be too late. The entire consumer electronics scene will be decimated, irreversibly changed. A bubble that pops in 2027 won't help you when everyone is closing up in 2026. Nintendo doesn't have a secret RAM supply, Samsung can't even get RAM from itself for it's own phones. You have no idea what the fuck is going on.
>>729774913>tranime
>>729776618>streaming to play gamesretardI would sooner join a band hosting a raid on a data center to strip it for pc parts than pay to stream my fucking games
>>7297729902 more weeks
>>729776543this place is lonely angry men that don't even play vidya
>>729777014Nobody said they wanted streaming games, I'm just saying that is the end goal. "You will own nothing and be happy" wasn't just some gay meme, it's an actual goal that you are actually being moved towards, and all these fantasies about magic Qualcomm chips and AI bubbles and so on won't change anything because they won't get here fast enough if they ever get here at all. The entire ecosystem around consumer electronics is being set on fire.
>>729766750this is by design, they want to get you lazy faggots off of your ass and working or in the military and breeding. Your boredom will force you to do something when you no longer have free dopamine.
>>729777131It's more that no matter how much they push it enough of the consumerbase just won't buy it that when we DO recover whoever does appeal will quickly show up on top. And if they try to force it things will probably end violently unironically. Video games is one of the last cheap circuses, and bread is already expensive. Take away the entertainment on top of making food expensive and you're going to get a lot more people who suddenly go 'you know what fuck this I'm going to do crime'
>>729777159also don't worry, they are coming for Onlyfans and women too.
>>729777203That's a fantasy you see from low IQ accelerationists here. The reality is that people will just accept it because there's nothing else, and before you know it you'll have a generation of things even worse than zoomers that grew up with it and know nothing else and think it's okay. People go where they can and do what they can, and The Happening™ never happens. You won't even be able to talk to each other about it, you'll be on thin clients remoting into a cloud service that just blocks anything outside of their allowed range of expression. The last vestige of the old internet will be gone, replaced with a sort of global LinkedIn.
Seriously man what the fuck is even going on. Are they really trying to bruteforce game streaming as standard now?
>>729777476I think you vastly underestimate how many deranged shut ins there are who aren't doing absolutely off the wall insane shit purely because they're kept content by current internet.
Let me guess. If a gamer starts shooting people, it will be their fault right? They will be labelled a monster who just killed people out of nowhere. Society had absolutely nothing to do with it right?
>>729777656with jews you lose
already the new year and people are being fags, great
>>729777656Yes, MS even started giving the xbox name to handheld pcs, which as powerful as they have become will never be faster than a real pc with a real gpu of the same generation.
>>729777671I think people, especially here, have been greatly overestimating those people and their willingness to do anything. I think I've been watching that play out for twenty years, always one more rubicon to cross, always nothing. Everyone meekly locked down and got their shot and heard grandpa die alone and afraid via intercom. Everyone sees their life getting worse in a million little ways every day and has for years. Nothing happens. This is just one more thing. Hardware will become impossible to source, including for consoles, the business will be seriously jeopardized, important links in the chain will just disappear, you'll see threads where some broccoli headed faggot posts how great GeForce NOW is with a chad meme, and it'll play out the exact way any thoughtful person already knows it will. They weren't going to let you notice forever.
>>729768436I haven't been impressed by a game released since DMC5. Trump is mercy killing this abortive industry. Gamergate lost.
>>729776543PlayStation and Xbox have no future.>>729776618>Netflix will own gaminglmao, you idiot. Netflix already dropped gaming because their ventures in it failed. Qualcomm will make something that's enough for Nintendo and Valve to last them for many years. You need to face facts, child, there will never be another AAA game again. Games will stop at AA and not go any further than that.
>>729778491>Netflix already dropped gamingNope. You have no idea what you're talking about. I'm so sick of /v/ being filled with low IQ niggers. Every conversation becomes a chore as they get hung up on things nobody normal would even think of as a point of contention.
>>729778604I recognize him from another thread, I think we're witnessing the birth of a new schizo.
>>729778604Sounds like you're coping, big corpos gaming ventures are over. All of them collapsed, Microsoft and Sony are the final two and Microsoft is on their way out with Sony slowly following. This is Nintendo's and Valve's industry now, accept it and get out.
>>729777159>Raping the economy with monopolies and destroying everything good will get the economy running again!
>>729778715Wouldn't surprise me. Too many people think every board is /b/ and just come here to be as gay and retarded as possible about every possible thing.
>>729777159>destroying all the bread and circus will make people want to die in the military industrial complex and have sexYou're an idiot of immeasurable means.
>>729773431>"Europe"Ah, so a zigger.
>>729768717The fuck does Trump have to do with this? He didn't invent AI.
>>729766963Only because gaming as a whole is crashing.
>>729778856>>729778987you will learn that you aren't special and the easy pussy times are over, the worthy of you will rise above it and the rest will get what they deserve. And the best part is that there is nothing you can do to stop it but whine and cry like the little stupid useless faggots that you are.
>>729779068He helped supply infinite free money which is creating an unnatural market and allowing someone like Sam Altman to buy up 40% of the world's RAM to warehouse it.
>>729779205You're a retarded vagueposter who's mushmouthing about nothing. I don't even know what you're talking about.
>>729778987It's just another gay roman statue larper. Look at his gay villain speech response.
>>729779205The times have not been easy since 01. What point are you even trying to make.
>>729779317I can promise you that you are wrong, and I am right. It's understandable that you aren't willing to accept it but you are rapidly going to come to the understanding that you have no power.
>>729766750No they won't. The amount of people that owned a top tier gaming pc to begin with was a small portion of users and they were still the priority while you had to get used to unstable 20fps on the lowest settings on your shitbox
I hope that whenever an AI Datacenter actually gets built it gets burned down by scalpers that can't sell their 5090s at a profit.
>>729779317It's more depressed accelerationist bullshit.

>>729779469it's just a fact of life that you aren't yet to accept.
>>729779503it has nothing to do with me, it's just reality that you are refusing to see. You got the short end of the stick and the rug pulled out from under you.
>>729779569lol yeah a teenager going through an edgy phase
>>729779602yeah, and you can feel that way now. I hope you remember how you owned me and dismissed what I said a decade from now when it all comes to pass.
>>729779569You're LARPing as a herald of the apocalypse and no one gives a fuck. If things do get as bad as you think, I will simply blow my brains out with one of the guns of my choice that I own in my house. I will not give anyone the satisfaction of my agony or suffering. This is clearly not happening yet, if at all. You're a weenie, anon.

>>729779826those are fireworks you retard, not bombs
>>729768745They will start culling criminals and the "useless eaters" as they call them. Everyone else will be forced onto UBI and threatened with ruination if they don't comply.

>>729779950>They will start culling criminalslmao, where, on mars? they sure as fuck ain't doing it here
>>729768436>prices raising worldwide not just america>somehow this is trump's fault
>>729777656Yes. They want to abolish the concept of ownership and force us ro rent everything. That also includes body autonomy, if you're curious.
>>729769374What's this even from?
>>729780276Your futureA very prescient campaign from a decade ago to preemptively ban these kinds of weapons (it failed)
>>729766750I'm honestly kinda glad, games will have to target mid-tier specs again and we'll have actual incentives to improve optimization instead of just throwing 64gb of ram and 20gb of vram at it, throw some AI fake frames and fake resolution on it and call it a day.Visuals in games haven't really improved this past decade yet games consistently require higher and higher minimum specs. Its getting fucking ridiculous. I was playing Mankind Divided recently and this game is a decade old and looks better than half the modern shit coming out today.

>>729783315Microsoft about to kill their gaming sector, so shut the hell up, Xbox doesn't have a future, even less so than the PlayStation.
>>729785443>About to kill their gaming sectorBecause they found a more lucrative alternative after raping gaming for decades. And no one gives a fuck about Sony outside of killing people from threatening their monopoly on the music industry Man, you are fucking retarded.No wonder gamers get shit on
>>729766750They aren't going to do shit. The will move all development to consoles. They will tell people that if they don't want to pay 20k for a CPU, they can just pay 2k for a console and people will just deal with it. The days of affordable vidya are coming to an end and the majority of devs will close up shop when they realize that they can't afford to keep things going at inflated prices because of AI jankery. Finally, everything else moves to phones for the majority of things, since that is where most people are spending money anyway. Cloud gaming, subscriptions. The dark ages of gaming are coming, where the normies will supply the money because it's "good enough"
>>729785587Microsoft Corporation never gave a shit about gaming. They've been looking for a reason to kill the Xbox for years, now they found it. Phil Spencer just won't fuck off and let it happen so he keeps trying to fuck everything else in gaming to try to keep in Microsoft Corp's good graces. Phil needs to just let Xbox die already; this shit is getting annoying that he keeps fighting for something that died when Peter Moore left years ago. What even is Xbox now?
Got a 3060 in 2021 and haven't found a single game worth upgrading for since then. I even have a 7800xt sitting around somewhere that I got for free. If anyone ever manages to make a good game that needs more than a 3060 maybe I'll swap it out, but at this point that doesn't seem like it's ever going to happen.
>>729766750AI centers need to be shut down and Nvidia and AMD need to be sued.

>>729767164Yes the fat pirate knew new gpus will cut the vram
>>729766750Wow its almost like President Xi has to save gaming... not like it was planned at all, with every single big (tranny) tech company leaving gaming chuds for AI chads

>>729766750They are not going to optimize shit, Expedition 33 showed them the way, to make UE5 slop.
>>729766750>now these useless devs will have to optimize their shit games to run on potatoesNot gonna happen. They're just going to raise game prices instead.
>>729766750Honestly, I think that might have been part of their decision process. The fact that more power for consumer grade gpus does very little, and to make games look better on the developer side it would be an increased burden that few companies can actually take advantage off. Instead of developing for a market that is plateauing they decided to switch gears and go for something else where they can theoretically grow forever.Not like this would have been their primary reason, but I think it definitely popped up.

>>729788593If AI does what its supposed to do they won't need "consumers" anymore.
>>729788995they already don't
>>729788995And then what?
>>729766750>optimizeRetardbro, literally all of this is part of a massive push for cloud gaming to become standard. Think about why Microsoft was pulling out of the console market at the same time they invested massive amounts into streaming.
>>729790261is the cloud in the room with us now
>>729790113Then the rich keep getting treats, and the rest starve.
>lefties coping and seething
Cloud gaming where developers can optimize around standardized PC hardware is a good thing.
>>729766750Its a silver lining, not a blessing in disguise>>729766963Only if you're looking to enter yeah then shit is bleakIf you're already here and got a setup, eh, AAA got lost in the social messaging sauce and the good games so performance light a potato could run them
>>729766750>game available EXCLUSIVELY on GeforceNow subscription
>>729767295Cause hardware was still accessible enough to carry the poor optimizationNow? When everything that uses some form of ram is already 2* the price it was in august?I would t spend 5k on a pc build let alone a single component and I'm a hardware freak
WHAT AAAA games are there to look forward to???Name at least THREE
>>729768436Its bipartisan shit but as usual Trump fucked it more.
>>729768450wow its almost like they dont care because they have luxury bunkers or private flotila of ships BASED GABENand soon can remotely control drones to attack plebs who will rebel.
>>729768358Its a production chain with multiple monopolies in it from mining to processing to making the chips and every monopoly layer right now is raising their prices along every step of the chainEverything will be hit, pc, console, any device that uses RAM for any purposePeople are already not showing up to the switch2 550 euro price mark to the point where retailers are to the chagrin of Nintendo lowering their prices and therefor Nintendo profit margins, thats not going to improve as the price gets higherI hope you got a big backlog of games to play thatll last you a few years
>>729772990>>729777037
>>729791540I... cannot.
>>729791669I get real annoyed seeing people hating on them for being preppers when literally everyone with half a brain would do the same if they were in that position. It's not like poor people also don't do it.

Tempted to build a new PC since I can afford it, but I can't be bothered. Modern games suck anyway. Only thing that will fuck me is hardware failure
>>729766750Wrong, they're going to sell you streaming services. You think you don't own the games you buy now? You haven't seen anything yet.
>>729768450>>729769374Their plan is to unironically put as much of humanity as possible on a starvation diet and kill anyone who resists

>>729766750I know OP is joking but AI bros unironically think this. One of them told me its fine that the planet is dying because of AI since having a faster mail writer will make up for it

>>729783957>this imageI mean, the bottom only works because people are sheep. A large part of capitalism is that you can say "yuck, this lemonade tastes like piss" and switch to a different brand, or buy hand-squeezed stuff from a local shop, or go to a farmers market and get fresh lemons/lemonade there, or go run your own lemonade stand (assuming your local laws aren't ass.)...but no, 99% of people will say "back in the day, our lemonade tasted better" then just keep on buying the piss lemonade.If you want a true CONSOOMER, you should see my grandpa, nigga'd buy something for 4x the price on Amazon if it means he can get it now rather than wait for the next trip to the store in a day or two.>>729773049Confirmed either underaged or a boomer who doesn't know any better.Taxing companies/billionaires/etc. just makes them leave the country, or makes them outsource shit to India, or they raise their prices because they know you can't live without their products.If you tax them for using AI, they'll either do one of the options above, or they'll defend their position in court because then the matter becomes "how much income tax is being lost" and "how much money the govt gets from taxing all the AI datacenters being built" and so on, and I'm willing to bet building a lot of AI datacenters gets the govt a lot more tax money than whatever it lost from the loss in income tax and that could backfire in favor of the companies using AI.
>>729766750>now these useless devs will have to optimize their shit gamesLol. Lmao even.They will now use frame gen even more aggressively, and all games from here on out will have MHW levels of garbage optimization.
>>729766963Good, this will push game devs to stop using UE5 slop
>>729768436Trump doesn't even know what AI is or does, doesn't he
>>729794057the problem with that you said is that 99% of the lemonade taste like piss and excatly the same, you can find the 1% but it will be way more expensive (2-3 times) and take time, you can apply this to everything, from cars, games, food, movies/tv shows, clothes etc
>>729791669Cucked timeline
>>729794209Absolutely not, he just knows china is doing it and wants to beat them at itThats literally it
>>729772331>XFuck off, Elon.
>>729766750>I built my PC in 2023 so it should last me for a long time.time for another bullshit standard requirement like AVX that only newer hardware will have. the house, the manufacturers always win.
>>729768482They will be more protected from it with long term purchase agreements, at least for the next 6 months. Sony are also talking about delaying PS6 for up to 2 years now so it's high end gaming that's fucked
>>729768436>all these coping repiesMagababs really are just battered wifes
>>729768436I’m sure that making something as universally detrimental as AI a bipartisan issue will be a worthwhile strategy. Worked for everything else right?
>>729794057>Taxing companies/billionaires/etc. just makes them leave the countryFrequently repeated but never proven
>>729766750It's good because it will force developers to re-learn the lost skill of optimizing for the available hardware instead of doing what they've done for two decades with expecting their customers to just go buy more capacity.
>>729767242>minimum hardware requirements: DLSS 10 frame gen for 60fps
>>729766750they won't optimize because they can't, no one teached them it or even gave them a reason to do it
>>729766750That's not how it works, cup-is-half-full-anon. They'll just use it to roll out their game streaming platform and say >"lol you don't need a pc. just subscribe to our cloud gaming service. you will own nothing and be happy"
>>729767275Remember back in simpler times, when the only people worried about AI were artists? I miss those days.
>>729768450>there being more stuff means we won't have stuffThat's stupid. No, rich people are not going to hoard an infinite amount of cheap Ikea furniture in their mansions.
>>729768745You don't work to earn money, you work to create value. Money is just a representation of value. If there is more value around, you'll be richer on average, not poorer.
>>729773049>if governments were smart they would make sure that AI would move to a different countryThat's a genius idea. You should be in charge of people I hate.
>>729767423Consolefags are the graphic whores. That's why half the games people are playing on PC look like they're 30 years old. How do you not realize that?
>>729796646People won't earn a wage without working, they're literally working to remove billions of jobs without a replacement, we could have more shit, but people won't be able to buy it.
>>729768373Based PC chads are running the supply chains of the world, apparently.
>>729769730>>729773869>>729769851>>729769781>>729769570This is not AMD and Nvidia being mean, this is some idiot buying all the RAM. There could be 1000 GPU manufacturers and they still wouldn't have any RAM. Supply and demand is real, you retards.
>>729773952>no dude, they'll totally make games nobody can run, dude just trust me on that dudeWow, you're so smart and cynical.
>>729777656>>729780213It turns out that GPUs aren't made out of magic, but out of real things. Those real things are currently being bought up at crazy rates to fuel the AI machine. Magic might be infinite, but real things aren't, so things that are made out of those real things are becoming more expensive. I don't know if I want to beat the AI CEOs or you retards to death. I feel like long term things would improve more if retards who don't understand how simple things work were gone.
>>729796890There's only 3 ram suppliers that provide 90% of the ram worldwide, you can shit and moan all you want, but if these 3 suppliers decide they don't want to make consumer products anymore there's no other company that can take over the market.The same fucking shit I said applies.
>>729794625Stuff like that takes at least a decade from being released to being required.
>>729795668>teached themNobody thought the original devs either, they figured it out because they were smart, because they understood the systems they were working with. You don't learn intelligence.
>>729796918the games they're making right now currently dont run on 5090s, they dont give a shit
Steam machine will save usTrust the plan
>>729766750The problem is that the industry no longer possesses the technical skill to make graphics look good without using hardware to brute force it. AAA is finished, so is indie and AA because AAA will start aggressively acquiring smaller studios to compensate.
>>729797489>Valve engineer Yazan Aldehayyat stated that the 2026 Steam Machine is at least on par with, if not better than, 70% of what Steam's users are utilizing on average. Aldehayyat said that the target specs behind the Steam Machine were based on user data gathered by Steam's monthly hardware surveys. According to Steam's October 2025 hardware survey, the most popular PC specs include Windows 11 as the main operating system, a six-core Intel CPU paired with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 8GB graphics card, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and one to two monitors that run at 1080p.>a little stronger than a 3060 in 2000+26yeah, 0 hopes for it
>>729768436This presumes Dem politicians don't give kickbacks to companies using AI and considering that the past government shutdown was over Dems wanting to give healthcare companies Obamacare subsidies you'd know Dems would definitely give companies using AI kickbacks. It's the height of retardation to think either side is good on this issue and that both parties aren't systemically corrupt.
>>729769570Read up on the term "oligopoly". That marker structure isn't all that competitive
>>729797881>is at least on par with, if not better than, 70% of what Steam's users are utilizing on average.the issue is that number includes China and India and millions of steamdecks
>>729795043This, it's not like you can move your highly educated trained staff overseas.
>>729797881>>729798183Reminds me how Hunt Showdown also used "number data" to balance their game. Now its a dead husk of its former glory. Genuine how retarded do you have to be to just look at numbers and not thinking of anything else beyond them. Thats basic school stuff you learn
>>729786805dude the parts they're making for the datacenters don't work well for gaming. The GPU's don't even have display outputs.When this bubble pops, it's going to take a year or two for them to shift back to consumer grade products and supply to get good.We're looking at not having affordable computing for years, maybe even a decade.and that's if they even do it. The thing is, they may just use scarcity to drive us all on subscription cloud gaming services, just a controller and a streaming box that plugs into your TV and you rent time in those datacenters they spent so much money building. If AI fails to be profitable (and currently Open AI, the company all this money is sinking into, is operating at a loss until 2030 at least), they will double down on cloud gaming services to utilize those datacenters.
>>729766750That's cool and all but what if I need to replace a faulty part in the future?
>>729766963No it's just over for retarded arms race PC gaming where people keep spending more and more for higher resolutions and frame rates.
>>729798458Could be fucked. It may be possible that they won't even hold warranties as valid anymore.
>>729798341You are the stupid one for not realizing it's PR speech. They have to sell the shit hardware to you somehow when it's strictly worse than any of the other consoles.
>>729766963Oh yeah, consoles and phones get their components out of thin air, unlike PCs, thanks for enlightening us, anon.
>>729793046Using Milds as an example proves your point wrong though. It sold well on the first month because of brand recognition but fucking died completely after that, it has literally zero legs and no one's playing it anymore, Crapcom even had to apologize and make up excuses to their investors TWICE now on why its such a failure (their own words). They're even publicly begging people to come back to it, nothing like this EVER happened to a Monster Hunter game before. Hell, I'd bet a shitload of those initial buyers refunded the game after they saw the absolute state of its optimization.
>>729790418Most everyone have smartphones these days so yes, they are in the room if they wish to backdoor into your smart device and listen/watch
>>729768134total chaos?
>>729791132>It's actually a good thing that they'll rape us with subscription fees and restrictive accessI swear, they might be right to consider your kind goycattle
>>729791734It's another thing when you're prepping due to your own actions causing the impeding doom
>>729767295>>729768482>>729798631The Switch 2 has already been released, which means Nintendo has a signed contract with the components manufacturers, and a contract cannot be altered on a whim.The price of the Switch 2 components cannot be changed because that would be a breach of contract. Valve and Sony will go bankrupt before Nintendo even bothers.This will have a 0 impact on Nintendo products. Only Snoys and PC Vegans will be affected by it.
>>729798992They believe they are ushering in a new age where the useless consumer cattle are wiped off. Why would they regret any of it?
>>729766750Modern iGPUs can play all good games nowadays.
>>729774913
>>729791669All these bunkers rich people are building are pretty much gonna be post-apocalypse caches for survivors. When whatever happens happens, it's going to be too sudden for them to go running to their private islands and bunkers, and even if they do, you can just locate air intake and plug it up until they're forced to come out or suffocate. Then you kill them and take their shit.>but what about le dronesNone of that will be working a year or so in, and a spark gap generator will render them completely unusable if they are.
>>729791713>I hope you got a big backlog of games to play thatll last you a few yearsWho doesn't.
>>729798568>Wow this is stupid>ERMMM you are stupid!!! This is on purpose retarded!!Did you spend new year alone or something?
>>729791758>they just use their own systems huhuntil it breaks and getting a new one will cost $10K
>>7297922318GB laptops in 2026 are e-waste. Might as well discontinue lower and lower mid-range laptops.
>>729796676what about blackmailing you for money? GREAT VALUE
>>729792838With rising prices the amount of time it takes to start making money back is also increasingIdeally they build the datacenters, it bankrupts them all and then we can buy all the memory second hand from bankruptcy auctions and itll be really fucking cheap because without AI there is not a big enough amount of demand to get rid of it all
>>729799646Problem is the damage this will cause will propably make it impossible for us to even buy the second hand stuff anymore.
>>729797881That's more than enough for a good game (that also looks good).>b-buh our poojeet employees won't be able to brute force their spaghetti code games with these """weak""" specsnot my problem, adapt or parish
>>729798801I've only played World and liked itWhy is Wilds so mediocre? Did they dumb down mechanics even more?
>>729799403I'm not saying that they are being stupid on purpose but they have to spin a negative into a positive.
>>729800570Yes, and on top of that you need a NASA super computer to even get 60 real (as in not fake ai frames) fps for this ugly, early PS3 looking piece of shit. Its a dumpster fire in every sense of the word.
>>729768450The world can run solely on billionaires now. Look up the word 'Plutonomy'.
>>729767164You're gonna get the same unoptimized shit but looking even worse and with smaller assets
>>729800715This, look at people in Africa. They are hardly a part of the global economy. They work as slaves.
>>729767164I wish that was the case but they probably won't, specially AAA studios.The same greed that made them hire shitty developers will make them lower their quality further. And they will get away with it because normies are fucking retarded and must consoom the latest product no matter what.
>>729794725They also intend to increase the price of the ps5, Nintendo is also considering increasing the price of the Switch 2.
>>729801685>normies are fucking retarded and must consoom the latest product no matter what.Says the person who wants to consoom the latest products. :DD
>>729801990haha, got em!
>>729766750>brain addled argile made golem believes gullibly that games will be optimized instead of being funneled into cloud based subscription services you'll own nothing and you'll be vaxxed
>>729802126Why do you want to own things to begin with? Collecting products and feeling proud about it is cringe.
>>729802126also did I forgive to add that in period of economic duress ( which are becoming a constant ) or when war summons flesh to be sacrificed on the altar of the global currency such services will be halted to push goylems into becoming malleable and obedient by taking away their toys and threatening to not give them back unless they bow and observe complete absolute compliance?>huh I'll just build my own toys! Emulation and old consoles!with what money? Physical one will be made illegal and digital money is being forced upon people.
>>729802290I dunno I mistrust kikes and don't feel like having my goods taken hostage under the condition that I die in ukraine or eat the bugs?

>>729802473>500 billions into ai jeets when ameritards are struggling to stay afloat >"it good trust da plan"HAHAHAHAHAHA nigger
>>729801990No, not really. I love retro gaming and indie games so this won't affect me for years. However, eventually I will have to buy a new PC (hardware has a limited life, eventually things break), and when I do I wish for the games I ignored up to that point to not be worse than now.P.S. Play Wild Guns Reloaded and Neon Inferno (on Hard), you'll love them.
>>729767295>dude unoptimised shit sells well NOW.Because new hardware can brute force it. But that's the entire point; there is no new hardware.

>>729786805when the bubble burst happen only some companies like open Ai or claude( if they even allow too) and the rest will be buy by microsoft, meta ,etc; to continue the race to the sky.this is not like the dot.com bubble, the 7 riches companies on earth are using their own cash reserves and margins to build all this bullshit, it could easily last until 2028 at minimum.
>>729799038>Valve will go bankrupt before Nintendo even bothers.Retarded brand shill, they already got their components too. Steam Machine will be fine from 2026 and possibly 2027 as well. Speaking as both a Tendie and a Valve drone, if it were legal, I would line every last one of your brand loyal Tendies and Valve drones at a wall and gun down every last one of you. Are you truly THAT retarded to not understand that Sony and Microsoft are a danger to gaming all around?
>>729801685nice
>>729804369intel gods won
>>729766750We thought it was a joke, but he was unironically right. Gamers really are the most oppressed group of all. 'Manbabies and their toys' are always expendable in the eyes of normalfags.
