Time zones are a thing.
- foobiekr 7y agoGames are latency sensitive and thus region sensitive. Multiplexing opportunities here are poor. Stadia is a terrible idea business-wise as Google has defined it.
- ElonMuskrat 7y agoI'm on the fence on Stadia - compute hardware prices keep dropping like a rock. What if we see viable $200 gaming rigs in 10 years? But I digress Google can utilize dark GPU hardware for numerous tasks. For example, YouTube video transcoding, ML, and Cloud batch processing.
- ceejayoz 7y ago> What if we see viable $200 gaming rigs in 10 years? Games, like websites, seem to expand to fit the available space. Today's smartphones would beat a ten year old mega-powered gaming PC.
- ElonMuskrat 7y agoOur two positions are not mutually exclusive. The price of even a top-line gaming rig could drop significantly over the next 10-20 years.
- ceejayoz 7y agoLatency is, too, especially in things like first person shooters. Someone in LA doesn't want to be using surplus GPUs in NY for Call of Duty.
