    The person I replied to framed this as a conspiracy to make us all rent compute.

    If you think this is a play to capture the few remaining home compute users, you vastly overestimate the market. Reminds me of people on here thinking they’re sticking it to M$ by turning to Linux. M$ don’t give a shit, 90% of their profits are corporate Windows and Office.

    If it’s a play to push corporate users into 100% cloud, good luck tech bros. Corporations are already holding onto their fleets longer, and they can wait till this bubble explodes. If you’ve ever tried to sell your boss on a subscription vs. outright purchase, you’ll know what I mean.

      The didn’t “frame” anything. They are using the words out of the mouths of the people buying up the ram.

      And then “vastly overestimate the market”?

      You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about in general.

      How much did the gaming industry alone take in last year? How about Microsoft’s corporate revenue? How about something crazy like a defense contractor, Raytheon maybe?

      I’ll wait.
