AI companies ruin the RAM and video card market, so no one runs 200GB models for free.

This ruins the new-game market on PC and consoles.

AI allows people to spin copies of games

Next up,
All consoles fail
All console makers stop letting people have binaries
Gaming as a service AGAIN

    No, AI companies ruin the RAM, Storage, and video market so no one can compute independently, and they all have to stream cloud services which can be monitored by AI, gatekept without the possibility of piracy (or first sale doctorine), unhackable/unmodable, and rented forever.

    This is way bigger than gaming. What happens when they can predict markets? What happens when they can move markets? When journalists get silenced, when inconvenient truths are hidden?

    Why wouldn’t they when we are so dependent on it?
