      I tried playing on Amazon Luna and it was a buggy laggy mess, even for a single player “offline” only game.

        Because they are mainly producing components for datacenters, which will be used for cloud computing. Only consumergrade hardware is overpriced.

          Well no, the memory price increase is specifically here to price gouge AI datacenters. If you’re running a non-AI datacenter, and if you’re targeting consumers, like with remote desktop gaming, you have AI-like costs (literally, since servers GPUs are gaming GPUs), but without the enterprise customers. Oh and you also need the best bandwidth possible, because a few added milliseconds might make the “remote” use unbearable, which is an added cost datacenters don’t have to deal with on the same terms.

            That is prety irrelevant since consumers aren’t the customers for AI datacenter hardware, rich megacorporations with unlimited VC capital are.

              Well yes, megacorps have unlimited budget for AI datacenters, that’s my point; consumer facing offerings don’t, such as cloud gaming, and they’re competing for the same price-gouged resource (“competing” is too generous tbh, consumer facing companies are getting curb stomped)

      There is no probably about it. Jensen Huang has talked about nothing else (besides AI) for quite some time now.
