Well. If 90% of the market ends up game streaming, that’s what the vast majority of game devs will target, even indies.

That kind of marketshare implies that Steam gives up the idea of local games. And if that happens we've already lost the fight. I don't think it'll go that far for a very long time.

Besides, developers still need hardware to develop games. So the idea of them ceasing to make consumer GPUs seem far fetched. They are needed for a lot more than just playing the biggest games.

Like we can go back to the usenet days when the internet was a niche.

Well we're here aren't we? It's not the 90's, but we also came here because we refused to let adslop become our future of forums and disusccion. We don't need 90% adoption to foster a community. If we could get to .1% we'd already be in a very good place.
