Hi, this is a quick post I make to talk about something I keep seeing online everywhere.

A lot of people say that the price increases will force developers to optimize and to work with what hardware they have to make good games and stop using AI gen and DLSS tech as an excuse for poor optimization.

The big problem is that nobody thinks about those people that don’t have the hardware right now.
Those people that were waiting for a discount to buy a PS5 or a PC and now they’re left stranded.

Current-gen consoles are getting really hard to find and a lot of people have been left out, stuck on old-gen and old-games.

playing old-games is not a bad thing but you may have missed the fact that even old consoles are getting reaaally pricey thanks to scalpers and speculators of the market.

This is madness people. Fight AI, don’t embrace it!

    If that’s the case where are they? Other than being used in israeli suicide drones.

      Motorsports. Altho emission/pollution regulations are pushing them out of that too.

        Dozens of annual sales I’m sure.

          You’re mixing up “miracle tech that leads to nowhere” with “niche tech with little mass appeal”. A rotary engine car has won Le Mans, The Mazda 787. I’m pretty sure one of the recent Mazda plug in Hybrids (I refuse to call those EV-s) has a rotary engine as a backup for the electric engine.

            But you’re proving my point. They’re a dead end and technologically LLM as a vector towards AGI is like thinking Rotaries are a vector for motoring… They’re not and they’re not.
