So that means they have $1000 of GPU available free unallocated for every google customer that comes along.

Ok then. I don't want it. We've hit diminishing returns. I honestly can't tell the difference between a game released this year and one released 4 years ago. They all look "fine". All I care about any more is art style. Oh, and not having my button input delayed by more than a millisecond. Oh, and I don't want to rent computing. Ever, for any reason.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
