  In a few months there won’t be any affordable equipment.

    There is the Steamdeck OLED still, Steam Machine and Steamframes on the way early 2026. Also there is enough used machines in the second hand marketplace to tide everyone else over until the AI bubble pops.

      I don’t think it will pop. I think it will continue to gobble up components for the next 5 years.

        It has to eventually, right? It’s just straight up not sustainable, especially in its current form. But I do think the hype will carry things along for a little bit. No doubt things are gonna be ugly in the meantime

        I think it will pop. But oh no! Now what do we do with all these data centers equipped with endless GPU power and RAM that we are building? Oh, I know! Cloud gaming! In fact let‘s buy up even more GPUs and RAM then rent the computing power to companies Epic Games and Valve!

        This is the future of mainstream gaming.

        What console does 4k/240hz?? Even PS5 Pro can’t do 4k/60fps in most games, Digital Foundry does pixel counting and frame rate tests

        This was prior to the RAM rising, but Valve stated that the Steam Frame would be cheaper than the Index which was at $999 USD.

        That could change now after RAM pricing, but nothing has been said yet.

      …Pirate hardware?

      • Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        That was the OG way of piracy. Except the hardware was, like, rum, sugar and cannons. 🤷‍♂️

        Finally, a programmer that actually knows what he is talking about… PirateHardware…

      Pretty hard to pirate RAM. Sadly all the wam you can download is DDR3

  for a few months

  I’d love to see what kind of gaming PC you’re going to build with $30.

  If they hear you say that they’ll jack up component prices more.

  I paid $200 for ultimate for a year and got borderlands 4 included in it.

  You’d be challenged to build a decent gaming PC for 3 times that.

  • kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    No, no, no. They said save up for a few months. So we’re looking at $75 tops.

    • theterrasque@infosec.pub ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Let’s be generous and say $100. That’s 6 months with the most expensive tier.

      That should be plenty to get a gaming PC capable of playing latest AAA titles in 4k 60 fps and high settings.

      It’s one computer, Michael. What could it cost, 10 dollars?
