2 years agoMy main concern are games and systems that will be streaming only in the future.
I doubt that it will ever become the main way to consume games for several reasons.
- It cuts out far too many customers with bad internet
- It doesn’t offer any advantages over a console, which offers ease of use and a standard hardware configuration. It’s equivalent at best.
- People are underestimating how difficult or expensive setting up and maintaining the infrastructure for streaming games is.
Humans need jobs in order to be able to pay for things and keep the economy running. AI is going to cause job loss on a scale we’ve never seen before. These people are not going to simply retrain into a new career and find new jobs. Those hypothetical new jobs are soon going to be automated away as well.
The economy and how we view income generation needs be rethought entirely. We’re headed towards a society where most people will not be working meaningful jobs, if they have jobs at all.
