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.

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 big game machine that gives money to rich people isn’t going to break until there literally isn’t any more money left.
Take a look at countries with people starving in the streets while rich people live in gated compounds. Still think it “has to pop”?
