    how to force millions of gamers to use cloud computing for games? creative artificial demand, make prices on powerful PCs/ components to skyrocket and become unaffordable for most then provide cost effective ‘cloud based gaming bullshit’ as a solution.

    I’m guessing now would be a good time for me to sell my old PC from 2020?

    3900X, 2080 Super, 32 GB of RAM, 1 TB Samsung 970 M.2 storage. What would y’all pay for this right now? 😅

      I have a similar system I just retired(r7 3800x, 32gb, .5tb m.2+2tb m.2+4tb ssd, 4070ti super with a spare 2070 super), still works very well. Going to clean and put it back in its box til my new one becomes unusable, don’t think I’ll be buying another pc and I will NEVER use cloud gaming, no one should reward these ghouls for fucking us over especially Nvidia. Once all my old pcs stop working, if I am not dead yet, I will do like my childhood and read physical books and spend time out doors

          Initially I was gonna sell it to someone that needed it, but when I got my new one I could see it was the last one I’d be able to afford unless something drastic happens in our favour. I am too old and cynical to think otherwise
