There’s no way this is gonna be optional. They’re not being picky about where they put AI, these companies are putting it everywhere. Nvidia GPU’s are going to do this to every game whether the player wants it or not, whether the developer asks it to or not.
I’d advise you to think of that next time you use any electronics or eat any meat products or chocolate or coffee, drive your car (if you have one).
… wear anything by most of the major clothes or trainer brands , buy anything from amazon or use any of their services, use google services or facebook or instagram or tiktok…or whatsapp.
If you want to argue about selective integrity and conviction , I’m willing to hear your position.
I wasn’t saying buying GPU’s is good, i was saying that the argument that they are optional is weak.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. If someone is making some effort, you can’t condemn them for not going all the way, because going all the way is living in the wilderness without even metal tools.
You can very easily use and chew up the resources of what you opposed with very little effort and it’s incredibly beneficial to do so, but only take from that indecent system, don’t enable or add value to it.
Buying new boosts sales metrics, incentives investors & management, and is blissful consumerism.
We should be boycotting all companies that we don’t agree with. And NVIDIA is a department of war contractor and American Regime mega donor.
If you actually need something, and it’s possible to need a GPU, then you can buy second hand from within your community. Try to buy as local as possible, look for things like surplus office equipment or at local repair shops.
In your example of a car, buying a used car is also better than buying a new car in many ways, especially since cars made before 2014 were not able to surveil you.
Boycott bad companies / practices, and stop consuming the latest slop they put in the trough.

It’s optional to buy new gpus and games that require them.
It’s optional not to buy a car but it certainly limits your access to things.
Yeah if you need your GPU to go to the shops, or to work, or to visit your family, that would certainly suck.
Putting aside the fact that i was in no way claiming you could do all the exact same things with a car as you could with a GPU.
There are in fact jobs that require a dedicated gpu.
It’s possible to need a GPU for work and other functions. But you never need a new anything.
God forbid going without if it doesn’t mean contributing to something shit. Or whatever integrity and conviction is.

It’s not complete, but I have already removed some of those things you mentioned and others from my life for better or worse.
You know what, i applaud your efforts.
I suspect you’re doing a way better job of it than me, it’s way more difficult than a lot of people give it credit for.

New is the key word here.
