They’ll push everything to consoles so they can control the hardware format, save dev money on not needing to code for the hundreds of variants of PC hardware, then force you to pay for everything from online gaming access to a proprietary game store and their cloud gaming service. They’ll remove upgradability so you have to buy a new system and pay for new subscriptions all over again.
They want you trapped in their walled garden to extract the most money from you.
I don't think they care about any of this.
They're selling to AI slop centres faster than they can make them. Gamers don't fit into their plans at all.
Could also just not buy that shit. I'll play games on a Pi if I have to.
Who will? Nvidia? No lol
They don’t have a game store, an OS, or make game consoles lol. Only the switch uses Nvidia.
Why would you say that? C’mon, Captain Sarcasm, use your brain.
Consoles pay for proprietary GPUs from Nvidia or whatever supplier. Just like they used to before they designed them to upgradable. You couldn’t think of that?
Well folks... back to emulators and fitgirl games it is. Fuck the market if they think that I'm gonna open my wallet for these overpriced consoles and games
