I don’t remember Saudi Arabia bombing and massacring in Afghanistan, Iraq, or Iran. The news of the bombings at the time must have made EA staffs feel progressive.

    It’s shocking that a commercial game developer didn’t consider this possibility at all. The article’s complaints about capitalism and the identity of the artist feel more like trapped in a box instead of thinking.

    That’s why I came to have this question. YouTube’s RTB system is another example: low latency is crucial to this advertising system, and it’s one of the reasons YouTube has continued expanding its data centers, aside from AI.

    In fact, I once read an article about how YouTube exploits and monopolizes ISPs’ standards and services to reduce its own costs. Data centers are a key part of it. American consumers are the biggest victims. The main reason this has gone unnoticed is that it doesn’t produce such obvious pollution or public controversy.

    What would happen if the United States had no data centers at all? Would building them elsewhere make any difference to customers’ experience? I assume YouTube would definitely be finished.
