    Sky-high RAM and GPU prices are going to crush game studios.

    It’ll also push users toward cloud computing—locked-in subscriptions sold as “convenience.” Most people reading this won’t fall for it, but the wider market will. A few influencers saying it’s good is all it takes.

    Start cheap, get people dependent, then hike prices. It works because critical thinking isn’t the norm.

      Why on earth would it hurt the studios? Graphic fidelity hasn’t increased since the new consoles came out over 5 years ago.

      Consumers not upgrading hardware would if anything save them money by reducing expectations they outdo their previous games.

      Skill issue. It could be absolutely incredible for quite a few indie games. Make a good game rather than a graphically demanding one.
