Forcing an uplifting upon those less valued just leads to those who take their position and wealth for granted.

Value is a construct and not absolute, your logic is flawed to use a relative concept (value) to define an absolute claim (Hierarchical societies will always exist). I'm not arguing with you, just letting you know that you need to reassess your thought.

>site still uses placeholder text
he really went off the deep end, huh? Anyone wanna download whatever virus he has on his site to see what thats about?

The point where we value each other equally is a point where we no longer are human or at least more than one human.

While value is relative, the existence of differing value is an absolute. It's an absolute that value will always differ between people because it's an absolute that people have different experiences and build their neural nets in differing ways which weights certain desires more than others. Some of those desires necessarily converge by definition that without the desire there wouldn't be a human to desire it, such as a desire to live.

Doesn't matter when the majority get it from the internet and the news either have to adapt or die.

>streaming service
>when 90% of the US has cans and string for infrastructure

no son, you are the faggot

We tried to get the infrastructure upgrade, but the companies just pocketed the money instead. With no consequences.

He was partly correct, remember the video game crash?
What no one expected was its revival, let alone how popular they would become.

Probably going to happen, surely not in the next 10 years. Not with our current infrastructure

The crash is overstated. It was only a crash of the North American console market. Arcades were still doing fine worldwide, and PC games were doing fine in Europe and Japan.

Yup, and it'll happen again, and again. Nvidia dude knows this.

OPs article is literally 42 years old. Are you actually going to have the most ironic retarded opinion in this very thread?
Do you really think 42 years from now streaming games wont be 99% of all the games played?

Well that's a fact. Faster than light communication violates causality, so for now and the foreseeable future it remains physically impossible for streamed games to have the same signal delay as a game running locally. It's like trying to replace cars with buses. You can have both, but one will never replace the other completely.

>The crash is overstated.
It practically killed the US market i.e the single largest market (I can't remember if they were still greater than all others combined at the time, but I doubt it), what's surprising is that it didn't completely kill any interest in investors.

Not while the infrastructure is shite and the companies pocket the money meant for upgrading it.

games come out at sub 30fps on console all the time and 99% of normies dont care. The percent of people that care about stuff like that isn't enough to stop vidya publishers from taking complete control and only release their games on streaming.

Better than adding to the wojack pile

The US console market didn't become the single largest market until much later. For comparison, over a decade later in the mid 90s, the revenues of the entire US console market were no larger than the revenues that the Japanese arcade market alone was bringing in.

I cant wait to post your screencapped post in 2061

You're unbelievably stupid for saying this. The market will create what is desired, and there will always be a % of the population that desires difficult/not casual games. Yes, as the average IQ drops, and as more and more people enter the video game market, big multi million dollar games will pander to 85IQ retards. That doesn't mean that the 100+ IQ portion of the video game economy will be ignored, in fact, there's an argument to be made that video game companies will be heavily incentivized to pander to "hardcore" gamers given their loyalty/purchasing power.

It's funny how both Pokemon TCG and Magic are normie central now but only real chad nerds play yugioh.

>even 8ms latency which is god tier is 50% of the frame time for 60fps
>when instead you could use that time for higher resolution/postprocessing/whatever for better quality
>display port gives 40-80 Gbit/s
>network bandwidth 1 Gbit/s for also god tier meaning lots of lossy compression

While frame rate means little for most consumers, quality means a lot. They would need to dedicate twice the hardware resources to provide the same quality and even then there would be a ton of lost quality compressing video to send to consumers.

Maybe if we had a future where neighborhoods/condos shared a little private cloud box for this shit but I highly doubt we'd see that.

For how much people like to screech about IQ being on a bell curve, they sure don't seem to understand what that actually means. Here's a hint: It means the vast, vast majority are average or very near average. NOT significantly below average. It also means that there are no more below average than there are above average.

Traditional games are good for when you're burnt out on video games and/or want to socialize. Another good thing about them is that they can be more easily modified than video games.

Nobody respectable is still living.

Reminder that 90's babies don't even know what the fuck Teddy Ruxpin is without having to google it.

I keep forgetting that Milton Bradley's headquarters is like 2 cities over.

Electronic Battleship is one of the most successful games released, though. Even had video games based off of it. They didn't completely fuck up like the Blockbuster CEO.

The number is too small. These companies will fuck over the people that care because they dont matter.

He's not wrong, if only because we will never transmit data over the internet faster than the speed of light in our lifetimes, as such you will never have a streaming service that can match latency of a 240 Hz, 144 Hz, 120 Hz, or even decent 60 Hz monitor.
Streaming will kill consoles though, 100%.

Haha, I guess I hit a nerve. It's clear that intelligence is dropping, whether you want to call it IQ or not doesn't matter. The point is that there will always be a significant portion of the "gaming" community that will have non-casual games made for it. It's sad that you couldn't figure out the point of my post.

Cars are a more open thing. There are much more factors like lobbying by oil companies and shit like that. Ford or any other car manufacture doesn't benefit from an all electric world. With video games EVERY publisher and manufacturer wants everything to be digital. No used games, no hackers, no piracy. Complete control from the company and no control from the user. There is no reason why they wouldn't go in this direction. Electric cars didn't even start to go big until a new company came around to push it into popularity with tesla. If it wasn't for that none of these century old companies would have given a fuck about making electric cars.

This argument could be used for CRT tvs. Scientifically a hd tv will NEVER be objectively better than a crt when it comes to input lag. But it doesnt fucking matter because 99% of people dont care. Autists who talk about video games on the internet are the 1%. Fighting games objectively suck ass online compared to local but that couldn't save arcades.
