Yeah this is concerning… oompfh! Gaming is quickly turning into a upper class exclusive hobby. Should have never started this technological race in the first place, the industry is really taking a major blow.

I wouldn't say the technological race is the main problem, it's the AI ghouls gobbling up allthe world's RAM and driving memory prices through the roof, reckless wars, idiotic tariffs, and rampant inflation.

Biggest issue, for gaming, is AI.  Prices were climbing way before tariffs.  

War is going to devalue the dollar, which sucks.  

My solution is to buy way less new games and lean into emulation.  I want to retire in a handful of years, **** current prices and subscriptions.
