For that matter, plenty of room to remake/reskin older (fun) games... Bring the Black Mesa effect to lots of existing games.
Not to mention actual AI fears since I've started playing with the latest Anthropic models (Claude Code), it's impressive and the field is still evolving rapidly. The job market is going to get worse IMO.
I hope gamers, systems integrators, and regular PC enthusiasts don't have memories of goldfish and go back to business as usual. It needs to hurt Nvidia in the pocketbook.
Will this happen? Unlikely, but hope springs eternal.

Surely OpenAI has customers buying their pro packages for ChatGPT, but that can't really be it. And businesses are starting to realize that AI can't replace the workforce that easily either.
If anything this shows how small the gaming market really is for them. This opens the playing field for new companies to capture.
I find it admirable that they are able to intensify focus on an area they see the most value.
That said, although AI has some uniquely good applications, this AI mania is feeding into some ridiculous corporate feedback loop that is having a negative impact on the consumer.
Having to pay several thousands of dollars for a top tier consumer GeForce when it was possible to do the same with only a few hundred dollars less than a decade ago is telling me the customer is being taken for a ride. It stinks.
If/when the AI bubble bursts, Nvidia will just readjust their resource allocation accordingly.
Isn't the whole problem that all the manufacturers are pivoting away from consumers and toward AI? How are we going to "hurt Nvidia in the pocketbook?" Buy from their competitors? But they are also making these pivots/"turning their backs on us." Just abstain from buying hardware out of protest? As soon as prices go down there's gonna be a buying frenzy from everyone who's been waiting this whole time.
