    Nah, pc building is going to get more popular as consoles get more and more expensive. The RAM and SSD situations will get better as AI gets more efficient and more manufacturers enter the market.

    We’re just in the painful transition phase of a new “normal”.

      Yeah honestly. The market exists, the want is there. Across the world people talk about these productions needing to be scaled up or created in certain countries.

      It’ll suck for honestly 15-20 max but after it’ll probably flip and become a lot cheaper because of the increase

      Nah, steam PCs will probably start to be best bang for buck based on economies of scale. This will push more general steam library adoption and game devs will target specific steam machine benchmarks.

      Steam machines become the new console market, they enshittify with hardware DRM or similar, prices creep up and the entertainment market will move somewhere else.

      I doubt powerful consumer hardware will ever rise again. Consumers who only want the entertainment don’t want the hassle and corporations are always happy to crowd us out of the market so they can rent us back the compute.
