"I'm an average user, so I don't need all the options and apps the programme has to offer. But, to be honest, #Microsoft is making it increasingly attractive to switch. Now that the company is putting #AI in everything, everything is becoming more annoying to use."

IMO, it's never been easier to switch away from the problematic players because we've got so many alternatives that got much better over time whereas Microsoft and others are practicing #enshittification.

We've done it before. Somehow, we found that giving away knowledge and control to use the #cloud was a good idea. It never was because we've lost so much competence we now need to ramp up very quickly.

When the #AIBubble pops, it's will be the gold age of #CloudGaming.

Imagine all the unused datacenters with GPUs capable of running games in the cloud. Companies will fight themselves to get a piece of the pie and recoup what they spent on AI.
