Asmongold defends himself after facing backlash for his opinion on Sony's PlayStation decision to move away from physical media 👀😳 “People are getting a false sense of security about owning the piece of plastic, as if that actually gives them any privilege. You can still be software locked. Please do not miss the forest from the trees. The holy grail is consumer protections laws and regulations. Please stop thinking that because you own a disc, you have any sort of immutable right over the copyrighted content that you own. You can dog on me and shit on me and try to discredit me with everything else, but please do not lose sight of the end goal, which is better consumer protections, because nothing else will solve this problem”

you’ll get mad at me for saying this…but cloud gaming is so obviously more economically efficient than physical hardware I think it’s going to be the default soon. your home console / pc is idle 90%+ of the day. meanwhile, data centers targets what, 5%, maybe at worst 10% idle. every second a cloud gamer isn’t gaming, that hardware is being used for someone else, training, etc. I think there should be a new measurement, something like cost-per effective FLOP hour that takes into account the TCO + effective utilization. If a gamer spends $500 on a GPU, uses it for 3 years, but it’s only fully active ~5% of that period…the cost-per relative FLOP hour is crazy high! Meanwhile, a $50,000 datacenter GPU might have a *LOWER* cost-per FLOP hour just because the effective utilization is 90+%.





We've made the latest set of updates to reflect changes in silicon pricing. DDR5 costs remain stable month over month. The biggest updates are around SSDs, where we've consumed most of the inventory that we brought in earlier at lost cost.
