Goodbye, Sony, hello, unaffordable PC gaming. Would everything go back to normal if the AI nazi cunts were luigied?

    What do you mean about unaffordable PC gaming? A 10 year old console costs nearly as much as a brand new PC, like $200-$300 difference. Plus the games are cheaper on PC. Plus all to advantages of owning a PC/laptop. What made consoles appealing 10+ years ago is gone, no more plugnplay, no more savings, and no more simplicity.

    Gaming Laptop $950 released 2023

    I'm a PC gamer, so I support your point. Mine is that assembling a good gaming PC now is unaffordable, especially since the AI bubble has made the prices soar. Haven't you seen the Steam Machine? Have you seen its specs? Its price?

    So, yeah, PC games are cheaper, but the cost of entry atm is an arm.

    While I do agree with all of your points, no one said it had to be your arm.

    I don't think so. The Moore's law is dead. The priviledge of buying a new machine that's twice as fast, half as power hungry or half the price as the old one is over.

    One of the ways to optimize is to shorten the length of the bus connecting the components, making the machine more compact, less modular and less repairable.

    I've enjoyed the golden times of technology as much as anyone, but realize it was an anomaly, not the normal.

    As for the AI buble, it will pop eventually, to be replaced by some new fad, but it will never be the same.

    PS: Just as I'm wring this, I've noticed a release fom IBM about a 0.7nm process that's supposed to be twice as powerful and 70% more energy effective compared to 2nm, so not all is lost (yet). Can't wait for the yield number.
