It would be customized for consoles if there was still enough demand for them
And Intel, Nvidia and AMD could make enough money with just servers and consoles? hmmm
Yea they would probably be smaller companies than they are now though
Steam spends billions in marketing the pc as a gaming platform?
They subsudize pc hardware too?
News to me.
Give me a fucking break.
I think it's pretty obvious, isn't it?
PC Gaming is still an open platform for now. Steam machines were actually trying to increase that openness (which was also obvious).
Unless Epic succeeds with their strategy to create a forced PC Gaming monopoly under their command: PC Gaming will remain an open platform.
You also have Mobile cpu and gpu companies for phones those could also be used in consoles too, this is all what if stuff though
Sure they would be happy about this and do nothing to boost pc gaming again.
Mobile CPUs and GPUs for game development and ray tracing rendering... Hmm...
Cloud would be used for that stuff, I'm just thinking further ahead and what if's
Doesn't matter how weak or strong the hardware is, all the specs are in the server
God save us from a world with only closed weak gaming boxes/clouds.
Console upgrades since 2001 with GC & Xbox have come from Nvidia & AMD's PC GPU's, the innovation & competition on PC leaks into Consoles, if PC gaming goes & Consoles magically don't, then you will see very small upgrades each generation, like PS4 to PS4 Pro level of a leap, for quite a high price too since PC gamers won't help eat the early R&D cost so AMD can later sell Sony/MS the same GPU's for cheap.
That would be a shitty future, though streaming only is even more of a worry.
I was just saying it's possible for gaming as a whole to survive without pc for better or for worse
That's fine, just in another thread similar to this a few people believed AMD/Nvidia will keep their GPU divisions up just for a new console every 6-7 years, the lack of innovation would absolutely suck since AMD/Nvidia wouldn't do that.
I'm aware that reset era is not that familiarized with PC gaming but how is Valve comparable with Sony Ms and Nintendo?
Valve is not championing PC gaming like the other 3 companies are on consoles. No one owns PC gaming, that's a plus but it has the small negative, you won't have a company behind developing games to get people on the platform.

It doesn't need this. Just needs almost everyone developing the definitive versions for it.
