Who is “they”? Major game publishers? How will they convince 80 different indie publishers to stop publishing locally run games?
Comment on Take-Two CEO Says We'll All Be Streaming Our Games In 3 Years

They’ll be force-feeding streaming soon enough. I’m fully convinced they’re gonna push streaming hard as soon as the AI bubble bursts, just so they can justify building all those data centers.

Microsoft was already working on streaming the entire OS. They’ll find a way.

Okay? People have already been abandoning Windows on the gaming front. More hurdles and roadblocks will speed that up. How will they sell these products as useful?
And you still haven’t answered who “they” is. Now it’s Microsoft? Or Nvidia? Why wouldn’t AMD capitalize on the gap?
By all means, be a concerned consumer. But your concerns become incoherent and easy to dismiss when you don’t think critically about them and frame them in a direct way that exposes problems people will be impacted by.

You’re wearing Lemmy goggles, the “abandonment” is a drop in the bucket really.
And “they” is the tech industry as a whole.

Those AI datacenters are pretty much single use. If you want to use them for anything else, you need to strip out everything down to the concrete and power leads, and install a new set of equipment.

as soon as the AI bubble bursts
We’ve been saying that for a long time now. Still going strong…

The market can stay irrational, yadda yadda. Also, Nvidia and Microsoft know they’re the major pillars of the bubble (M$ being the single largest backer of OpenAI) ones that have the most to lose, so they have to keep the illusion going to keep their stocks from nosediving and, more importantly, to keep lawyers and prosecutors off their backs.

Microsoft can’t even justify an online subsciption service for $30/month. They already bacled down that price. And I don’t think we need to talk much about Stadia who tried the “pay $60 to stream a game” model.
No way in high hell this takes off. The economics aren’t there and the competition is too strong. Not to mention I don’t think the internet infrastructure is quite ready for that kind of mass streaming anyway.
