What a strange article from Kotaku: from vidya to climate change. https://kotaku.com/the-video-game-industry-cant-go-on-like-this-1836606033 … They raise standard points about consumption, but talk about how the likes of Stadia mightn't be ethical. Here's the thing: is a centralised datacentre model not MORE energy efficient?

Maybe, maybe not. Would require some study to see if all things being equal the server farm works out to better efficiency and is cleaner.

By this logic coinminingfarms aren’t at all environmentally negative :P but we all know they are.

I'm guessing there's a big difference between google / AWS design & cramming as many ASICS into a hanger as a part of an arms race? I guess there're different designs there - stadia etc is designed to be efficient, coin mining is designed to be computationally expensive

Sometimes I feel like only other content creators care or read what kotaku has to say. As in I haven't opened that website for years now, but I constantly see content creators complaining about how bad and out of touch their opinions are. Why not just NOT care about it?

Streaming is good as an individual, the problem actually is one of local power generation. Data centres generally are built near plentiful power sources to secure the best rates on their consumption. Why the biggest is in West Virginia, coal and oil are still cheapest by far.
