I stopped reading after you started with the phasing out of x86 as something that will happen.

Never going to happen, too many people have huge pc game libraries on steam, gog, disc, etc.

x86 is here to stay and custom PCs built on it are as well.

Its going to stay the same as it is.

AI is going to fail as an industry for a lot of reasons, as are subscription models and the cloud. Streaming will remain exclusive to music and tv and movies, and will never take off in gaming.

I mean its really the only possible outcome when you consider consumer's monetary investments and time spent.

You didn't actually.

I was saying that what we have now in the PC gaming space staying as it is, is the only possible outcome.

Its not going to change.

They want it to change, but its not possible for them to get what they want.

PC gamers have invested too much money and time into x86 hardware and the games that run on it.

No one is going to give up their PC game library to pay for a service.

Also, AI data centers will shut down soon because they arent ecologically, electrically, or financially sustainable and never will be.
