This shit is so cringe. It’s made all the more insufferable because I know no one will pay a price for the admin’s crimes.

I was in the gamergate muck and on the kia subreddit back in 2014, but I had been a leftist for a while then. I built some credibility in the community when it still had the thinnest veneer of being apolitical (lol) and did my best to keep people from falling into the obvious right wing reactionary pipeline. That was a losing proposition so eventually I pulled out.

Also, with the so-called “K” shape recovery, it increasingly doesn’t matter. Wealth inequality has gotten so bad that I believe it’s something like 50% of the economic activity in the US comes from the top 10% in terms of wealth. As this trend continues, the need to serve that bottom 90% of people becomes less and less attractive from a business standpoint.

It reminds me of Nvidia. Only ~7% of their total revenue comes from gaming. The rest comes from B2B sales and data centers. They have little incentive to waste time and production capacity on gaming efforts. The lack of concern is exacerbated in that industry in particular because Nvidia controls ~95% of the discrete GPU market and there are so few alternatives.

I will also reevaluate it as a still flawed, but ultimately consequential piece of fictional media.

China is a land of contrasts.

Rent-seeking is always what capitalists want to do so my tinfoil hat theory is that big companies want to rent cloud computing capacity to the general public. I think about it more in gaming where there already existing cloud streaming services. As PCs and even consoles become increasingly unaffordable, that will seem like a more attractive option to people.

Also, muh free market signals in a heavily consolidated and specialized industry where 2/3 players said they’re going to do nothing to expand capacity and just roll big on high prices. Invisible hand
