This is one of those situations where you're correct, but also being poopy about it. For people who don't regularly play games or can't afford a system, this is basically a modern blockbuster.
I'm not sure I entirely buy that. For cloud gaming to be any good at all, you need a high-speed, low-latency internet connection. Yes, nowadays having an internet connection is pretty much a requirement in the industrialised world and even someone of lesser means will probably have one good enough to watch streaming video at a decent enough quality (unless they live in the middle of nowhere), but that's not good enough. So with the expensive internet connection and the monthly subscription, cloud gaming doesn't strike me as a very economical.
We've also been living in a period of diminishing returns when it comes to visual fidelity improving as hardware power does for a while now, so you can buy older, more affordable hardware and still have games look great on them. Meanwhile, I don't think someone who insists on being able to see the surroundings accurately reflected in every window and puddle is going to accept the compression artifacts and latency of cloud gaming.
Yeah, I'll own that.
The reason people can't afford a system is because NVidia is screwing with the market in the name of AI. Before that they were doing the same in the name of crypto. They're one of the big companies manipulating politics in their favour, against the better interest of the general populace. They're standing alongside the companies that are pushing for mass-surveillance, they're pushing for people to lose their jobs, and for all the other nefarious ways AI is being applied.
But at least we can ignore our culpability and blame a computer when it decides to bomb a bus of brown school kids on the other side of the planet now, I guess.
Zero disagreement with any of that. It's a violent, brutal, racist, greedy, cyberpunk dystopia out there.
Burn it all dowm. 🔥🇺🇸🔥
Where are all the renegade hackers sticking it to the man?
Actually, now that I think about, big companies and governments are getting hacked all the time. Which is cool.
For a long time, it was Ukraine. They're busy with something else now, for some reason
