Worst ending: Devs continue chasing higher graphical settings, consoles continue to release but at much higher price points to cover these costs. Cloud gaming also becomes much more expensive to afford the infrastructure. Gaming becomes less accessible to everyone except the wealthy.
ohh don't worry, once they sort it out on PC, cloud console gaming 2.0 is on it's way.
Here's my conspiracy theory; as local gen ai is closing in on cloudmodels even on modest gaming hardware they need to phase it out to make subscriptions pay. So they buy more hardware than they need to make local a nonviable way
If I can’t play games I might have to get into politics to amuse myself. The trick is to get others to foot the bill for your hobby.
Second Gaming Crash
Wait, what was the first gaming crash?
What OS runs wonderfully on old hardware?
Linux or BSD based OSes.
devs are not in control of pc optimization, it is their bosses. plus idont think this ai thing is gonna write fast code...
Ah I don't care anymore. Gamers complain about performance and prices all the time but still buy it.

When, not if, the AI bubble pops, they will have all these server farms built and will want to push people to cloud gaming to recoup some of their investments
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
