So to reword what you said, nobody was writing games for SGI workstations. The video game industry is so huge that whatever hardware benefits from it, it will eventually crush the professional competition. If AI is possible today, it's because billions have been invested in making our computers beasts at multiplying matrices.

For the record, I played a lot of Creeper CTF mod quakeworld on my Octane MXE. I don’t even want to remember what that machine cost me. Unfortunately, the impact graphics chipset the MXE used in a 4x SLI-like configuration had an issue with sub texture support that kept frame rates in the 20 FPS range. A single voodoo2 in a pentium2 absolutely trounced the Octane, so my gaming eventually moved to pc and stayed there.
