Video games and industry news with emphasis on meta discussion. In practice this is a chronicle of death of western game development and societal descent into technofeudalist dystopia.
It is permissible to praise Valve, Steam and Gabe Newell here on the condition that you explicitly state that you still don't like them. This can be a disclaimer in your post or comment but I encourage doing so in your user flair for convenience. Failing to do so will result in a ban. This rule will be enforced with an iron fist.

It leaves a lot unsaid if you don't understand the context. On one hand, why are babies sending email? Aren't all babies stupid? On the other hand, it leaves out the main information, which is PC part shortage, and the main culprits, which are image and video generation. Not people writing fucking AI emails. I now see you not only don't think the title is trying to be humorous, you actually believe it!
Acrually when I first read the title I thought someone in their supply chain let AI write some emails causing some catastrophic delay.
I’m okay with title assuming readers have a basic awareness of world events like ongoing LLM mania and final stages of a bubble.
Friend. I'm trying to tell you. That's not how reality works. No one ever has the full picture. I work closely in AI (sadly we pivited there). Your arguments don't make sense.
I’m so sorry that it happened to you.
