I think this service is the future of PC gaming. Owning computers with powerful graphics cards is like owning a car or a suburban house - will be a thing of the past soon. Society has less and less resources to indulge greedy people who don't want to share. You're not using your GPU most of the time. You don't need to own it.

As a side bonus, the fewer people will have powerful GPUs at their disposal, the fewer of them will be able to secretly generate deep fakes and do other nasty things.

At risk of responding to a troll post, the idea that cloud gaming somehow brings equality to society, is retarded. As is the idea of games needing more powerful GPUs (it's a bug). Ironically, the reason games need more and more powerful GPUs is because greed: they can't support basic stuff like supporting less powerful systems, because the boss doesn't want to.

'we must control the proliferation of assault-grade GPUs.'

if you're selling the zero-ownership lifestyle then you'd be better served not reminding people that it'll be used as a leash inevitably.

i'll stick to owning things. It's hard to catch an uber out of a forest fire during an emergency, and I think that analogy might apply to more things than people realize.

Sure, but latency matters, and everybody near the same datacenter will want to use your rental GPUs at about the same time every day.

And as a side deficit, fewer artists will be able to run ML models to template their next works and do other creative things.
