minus-squareKwozyman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up27·edit-214 hours agoWhy not rent and stream the games for only $99.99 per month. Subscribe now!
minus-squareThomasWilliams@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 hours agoStreaming only replaces storage, you actually need more RAM than running it from fixed memory.
minus-squarevillage604@adultswim.fanlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 hours agoNot when the processing happens in one of the many data centers that’ll be sold off when the AI bubble bursts. I fully expect them to start heavily advertising VDI in the near future.

minus-squarewizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·13 hours agoYeah, I think that’s the running theory of the corporate backup plan if/when AI falls through and they need to find a use for all the data center resources.
