PC Gaming

I agree. There's way better solutions than this wasteful shit. PC gaming and big tech in general has been corrupted. Unreal engine and AAA gaming I believe has actually been fully captured by venture capitalists. They artificially pump up the video game specifications so that you require newer and newer hardware since the diminishing returns on graphics is just about been hit with our current architecture. This is why we've been pushing AI systems and rendering so hard because we've plateaued mostly with traditional methods. The only way for AAA gaming and big tech that to survive the way that it has is to continue to push out new games that are impressive enough to sell new hardware. That's how it survived in the past and that's how it's trying to survive now but it needs to do it. Artificially. Which is really funny considering they're using "artificial intelligence" to achieve this artificial technical jump.

Realistically using traditional optimization techniques instead of relying on pure hardware and AI garbage would put new games coming out easily playable on older cards. Big tech can't have that.

And now that the writing's on the wall. Billionaires are trying to capture compute in general. So that computers are too expensive and we all have to subscribe to using them. I don't think this is going to work but things are going to get a lot fucking worse for a second.
