Unfortunately the AI bubble means we are witnessing the death of PC gaming. Watch the GamersNexus video, The Collapse of Personal Computing: [VIDEO] Costs are driving manufacturers out of business. Essential components for PCs are becoming out of reach for the average consumer. You will own nothing and be happy.
Read original comment ↗GN did a documentary on the situation from the perspective of consumer-facing companies. Seems pretty dire for them, and it's hard to see the long-range consequences, but the idea of consumers being priced out isn't too far out, which to me is a little alarming. [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Watching Jensen stick his junk in it and say again and again and again the PC market is going to be crushed forever and eve and ever and him being delighted about it feels barely any better. It's way way longer a video than feels useful, but there's quite the stream of quotes from Jensen relishing in fucking over everyone except the titanscalers, with gleefully predictions it will destroy every other form of computing forever.
