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

I’ll be DEAD and BURIED before I play PC games that require a 1000W PSU-powered graphics card.

Only anecdotal on my end.

Chiming in because I’m also curious if this could even be tracked. I doubt companies would admit to this, and feel like they’d like prefer to lock us in and then bloat up with AI.

I could see optional services not being used because of it. I fear for what will happen with non optional stuff, like insurance companies and other services.

Facebook is hard to leave because whenever your friends leave, the feed simply replaces them with other friends or ads (and now, perhaps, AI accounts). You don’t realize what left. You believe you still need it to talk with your family (some family) .

You don’t know who you’re talking to on maybe forum sites like Reddit, and I doubt most users follow other users, so as long as something relatively human sounding is heckling you, it’s easy to feel like there’s still good user engagement.

I don’t know what the future holds but I hope it’s kind.
