Just to be clear, I didn't mean that 20€ is the right price... honestly I think that if they put the 20$ price tag, it would be still too expensive. If you take a look here you can see the industry standard for online-only games free and paid (Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo don't share this data; but I think Valve is the overall winner/standard for the last generations of the gaming industry)

I don’t even understand what they mean…

Something on the line "We wish we could charge you the 80$, AAA, price; hoverer, we didn't implemented decent AI bot for you to play with/against... so we need players themselves to do the job"

TL;DR: 20€/$

It's worth notice few things; the GPU isn't "a part", GPU is "THE" part. You can't find a viable second hand market for ps5 hardware, but you can find second hand market for 3generations of nvidia RTX (20x0, 30x0, 40x0), a AMD, to get all around the ps5 potential.

You can buy an inexpensive PC with integrated GPU and play indie and AAA titles in very low specs.

Ps5 doesn't come with AAA graphics until... well, you don't spent AAA prices for each game. How much for 10 AAA games? 70€x10= 700€

On PC isn't just cheaper: all your games in your library gets the push up to the additional TFLOPS (PS5 require you to buy PS5 games in order to be tailored around the PS5, not ps4). With emulation ROMS (legal if you have the original copy), you get the push up in graphics for all the games you already bought: running that old ps1 game at 8k 60fps? Can't see why not.

It's not a game, but a very laggy fps camera ornated with Quake II textures. That's actually what's in it. There are far greater example if someone wants to make good example with AI; but I think Carmack found himself trapped to speak about this because it relate his job on different angles.

Looks like they saw what Intel presented one year before ChatGPT popularized AI and they said "Woah, that stuff from Intel it's cool... let's also us make a pointless version!"

A PC, supposedly being able to replace OS, would be counterproductive as it would "disturb" Xbox closed ecosystem if successful. Something locked like a modern android smartphone would be a bit more conservative, but still dangerous if successful.

At this point the most closed/safer option for Microsoft is to simply roll out a mobile Xbox (protected and customized hardware to make impossible to use as alternative). Microsoft could sell at loss, and they could decisively go below SteamDeck price and count that "sleepy Valve" wouldn't counterattack with anything.

GTAVI will not be just a console exclusive, probably it will become an Epic Store exclusive on PC. There could be tons of useless discussion about what companies shoud or should not do; but in the end, companies exist only to the extend of their customer's money. T2 strategy paid off, becouse their customer bougt GTAV repetedtly when came on PS3 generation, then PS4, then PS4Pro, then Epic Store and etc. etc.They sold one single AAA multiple time with relatively low effort (definetly not the cost of this many AAA games): their growth was done on their customer's stupidity, so they now employ the same exact stratgy that works on stupid people... and make money.

BattleBorn, Lawbreakers, Skull&Bones and Concord; the biggest f* to AAA (and "AAAA") industry. You crash, so the Indie rise.
