All games will be streamed, with a subscription

Retroarch disagrees. I don’t need your newfangled enshittified slop. I have megaman X and wine.

Shhh! Don't give them any ideas!

They’ve already been pushing this for like a decade now. GeForce now has been a thing since like 2015.

Way too late. This has been a talking point for a while. The AI bubble will burst but that doesn‘t mean they‘ll just return to their roots. Those new data centers need a use case and they need a good reason to keep building more.

I guess the silver lining is that this plan B won‘t work out either so we‘ll have to see. But until then we better take good care of our current hardware. It will probably have to last a good while longer.

Cloud computing is the real endgame. The big tech bros want to price consumers out of the PC hardware market (GPUs, RAM, NVMe, etc.) so they can offer a cloud solution via subscription model.
