Nothing of value would be lost if all the PC gaming went away. It would be a huge improvement in life skills and mental health and even dating prospects for millions.

It means people get to enjoy more indie games with good designs, instead of having FOMO for cool graphics without substance.

AMD will be very happy when they do. They are already making great cards, currently running an RX7800XT (or something like that), and it's amazing. Linux support is great too

It remains to be seen to be fair.

But if this does happen it will be in my opinion the start of a slow death of the democratization of tech.

At best it means we're going to be relegated to last tech if even that, as this isn't a case of SAS vs s-ata or u.2 vs m.2, but the very raw tech (chips).

Is it better to go short on them or buy AMD?

I'm also curious what this could mean for Nintendo.
