Where is the line for gamers? They think you’re marks.
wanting and getting dont always happen
tell microsoft to eat itself its time hopefully microsoft turns from a 5b company to 0 dollars in time.
Not that I dont share your sentiment. But Microsoft market cap is as of right now 3.9 Trillion. Not 5 billion.
as a paperspace user i read the first part as ‘oh nice’ … then i kept reading. i’ll keep paying 0.76USD/hr. i don’t have time to justify paying for a gaming pc… especially now. so paperspace has been great when i want to play a high end game. my library, mods. but yeah… m$ hell bent on destroying their company for copilot.

Once again, I pray for the time when China floods the market with GPUs, RAM, and storage to the point where all these technocapitalists get fucked.
Fuck renting shit.
If they did that, the technocapitalists would just make Chinese hardware illegal.
If Americans cannot get their treats and the bread and Circus stops, then they will resort to other means of expressing dissent.
The USA is highly individualistic and materialistic. If they can’t get their treats, then stochastic crime will take place (not that I’m against that, fuck capital).
I totally agree, which is another reason we should not expect China to save us. Their ideal world is one where Americans finally take power from the capitalist class.
My ideal world is that but we immediately also start to undermine the Chinese as well through decentralized production and logistics so good it makes over seas shipping too expensive. Mind you I want that for the entire world, you cannot fathom the arousal I feel at the idea of a Trans-Berringia trains bridge to connect the logistics of the old and new world, also the Trans-African rail should be completed to such an extent that goods in the Congo are as cheap as goods in LA.
This has been a successful business model for mmos for decades. This is not new.
Not really, the MMO model is ppm not ppp.
The gamepass subscription already fits the MMO model.
It’s quite similar. Pay for a game and then pay for game “time.”. Mmos are a pre pay, this is likely billed after playing. But really just paying for time after buying the game.
Well that would explain why I’ve never seen an MMO streamer before. At least not since Leeroy.
And we’ve come full circle back to arcades. Just with extra(fewer?) steps now.
They didn’t used to make us buy the arcade machine first.
Very true. Gotta think of those shareholders and make it more expensive somehow.
Back in my day it was called an arcade video game.
Except you didn’t have to buy your own arcade machine before you started shoveling quarters into it.
Yeah, back in my day the games came on a cassette tape. Sometimes the tapes got tangled up or broke, but when you bought it, you owned it.
Oh, and you’d get those magazines with pages of code for a game - you’d spend a day typing it in and never be able to figure out the tiny error you’d made.
Actually, games are so much better these days. It’s just unfortunate that capitalism.
They can have my longest finger while I game on Cachy
Isn’t this just free on both pc and playstation?
The consumer will gobble this up like hot bread and then ask “but why things bad? Must be immigrants”
Shitty behaviour by a shitty species
You underestimate how much people don’t like metered charges.
