I think "high-end" computers as toys will start to die out and go back to a wealthy businessman or hobbyist purchase. Having large amounts of compute at home just doesn't make any sense when it has so much value in the economy that is extremely underutilized in the home. See

>>39665But see, I think even blowing-Steam-up-your-ass machine will probably not be affordable by the end of this. At some point, as you sand down peoples' hopes and dreams, you reach the floor. I think we might actually die out like the dinosaurs, us gamers, the most oppressed group.

>>39671Higher classes will always pay more for entertainment because the opportunity cost is less for them. There will always be a market but the era of cacas buying them to play fortnight is over

>>39674you need market size to shit out a game worth the hardware

you niggers are forgetting you can still buy secondhand, a decent rtx 2070s with 32g ddr4 ram rig with all the bells and whistles can be found for 600$ if ur lucky. (800$ average)
which is enough to play most games that arent UE5 muh hecking real time lightning slop
â„–39683[Quote]
>>39680You can do that, now. 2029? That tiny pool will be either sold out or ran into the ground. Most people didn't buy before the real hikes, in the last 12 months or so. Most won't buy the stuff you're bringing up and there isn't enough, anyway.

>>39683I find it very hard to believe that the market of secondhand low-mid tier gaming hardware will ever get sold out. this is hardware from the covid era thats too shit for ai stuff and people who bought it literally cant get it off their hands right now. gaming rigs that where 1.5-2.5k in 2020-2023 are literally being sold for 700 euros right now and game just as good

cloud gaming will never catch on, even with normies. they all play online pvp slop and would hate the latency/AC issues
â„–39688[Quote]
>>39685but then the games stop having PC-shaped resource demands. A lot can easily end up either needing infinite CPU or GPU loads.
>>39687I don't think latency is inherently bigger problem than it already was with multi? If you distribute the infrastructure close enough to the players, anyway.
â„–39689[Quote]
>>39688normies obsess over latency and ping more then you think
and aggressive kernel level anti cheat doesn't allow you to play on cloud anyways geg it will never catch on unless the cloud devs and game devs start working together
â„–39690[Quote]
>>39689not to mention you need a stable, good network to run cloud gaming properly in the first place
â„–39692[Quote]
>>39688If it takes more compute cost to run than whatever subscriptions provide, then server providers either won't host it or charge exuberant prices, so no one will make that kind of game. But if you mean MMO stuff that pool hundreds of people together, that's already the case pretty much
>>39687PvP slop mostly runs on potatoes anyway. Its basically thinclient already. Physics and bot logic is handled on the server while the client just renders the snca on screen. I mostly mean AAA titles that try to push multiple envelopes at once. Think like what HL2 was at the time
>>39690If its cheaper to improve internet infrastructure than it is to provide everyone with a powerful enough PC, guess which one will happen first
â„–39695[Quote]
>>39692people still would rather use a pc idk what to tell you man cloud gaming is a dying/already dead niche the only thing i see normies doing is going back to consoles
â„–39723[Quote]
>>39692IT doesn't have to take a lot of compute. It's enough that it demands too much in any area the desktop can't handle, like CPU draw calls. It also doesn't have to be consistent over time. It can have larger spikes than something running locally.

>>39733Because microslop is retarded and bundled it with gamepass. You'd be retarded to buy it if you don't already own a console because its $10 a month for 5 hours of playtime with 50 games no one cares about. Goyim only get it for enabling multiplayer on games they already bought (GEG!) and unlimited local play of those games

>>39665Posted this in that thread too but I think computers becoming a more expensive thing is a good thing. It'll force companies to actually invest into making them reliable and potentially more easily fixable.

Where are all these lightly used GPUs coming from? Fucking Narnia? Do you dumb fucks not get how wear works? There will be nothing left, because it will get used up… Demand outpacing the mostly non-replenishable supply plus most people don't resell their hardware… This shit will get bought out and then disappear.

>>39769retarded nigga cant phantom a future other then the personal computer dissapearing because ai pre ordered ram prices for the next 3 years and that it fits his narrow minded idea of people using IO only devices connected to cloud computing
â„–39778[Quote]
>>39771I am sure they will never order RAM, ever again. lol lmao
RAM manufacturers are already signing long-term deals to prevent the bust. They're cartelling up again and the last time, Micron avoided any consequences, because it's a strategic company. The other two are Koreans so they collude the fuck out of this and the runner up is China that will only grow to one didgit supply within knowable future and that shit will never leave Chinese economy…
I also thought like you, initially, but due to RAMhebrews and how long it takes to develop competitors there's no way out, for the foreseeable future. They have the planet by the nuts and the hyperscalers and cloud infra-owning soon-to-be-trillionaires are helping them:

Dogshit decade old mid-range laptop user here. I am currently playing Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Sega Saturn through emulation. I hope people retreat to older games and realize that they do not have to play the newest slop. Or maybe devs will be forced to optimize their games again.

>>39860Dribble Ey game industry has a decent chance of mostly dying off. Don't be too concerned about people impaling themselves on hardware prices, like some kind of zealots. There's literally no money in the piggy bank for enough people. But this also has negative consequences, the pool of players will shrink in the future, since the pull for new users will be way less (and they'll get pooled into Roblox or some shit). Even just the tranny shit and Ubisoftisation of games already visibly shrunk the buyer pool and that's only the beginning… This should've been the golden age of gaming, but here we are.
