It's probably still a problem, but I think a lot more overall entertainment value comes out of the same amount of electricity use and carbon waste in bideo bames than in hitting a prompt button over and over again to get a satisfactory cyberpunkerino waifu to go with the hundreds to thousands already in the spank bank folder.
I don't think Microsoft is trying to reopen a power plant because theres some sort of modernist gooning wave happening, but I could be wrong.
It is a small part of it, but the larger part of it is primarily coming from expansions of the corporate surveillance state and even more data collection, not like that's better.
