Scientist looks on with a mix of horror, awe, and pride as she sees her creation gain more and more power.

Well, miss scientist, you should know that the pc was developed in a democracy, right?
So obviously decisions are made by majority rule.
And so scientifically speaking:
Amount of non-scientists (later known as "gamers") wanting to play on PC >>>>>>>>> amount of scientists

Therefore it should have been obvious what happens. 😏

Sometimes science goes too far. This is one of the few times it was perfectly fine in how far it went.

To be fair, you can also use your gaming CPU and GPU to do science, like folding at home and rosetta. A lot of people are donating their computing resources to help research covid-19 for instance. Projects related to that have come up pretty often on folding at home lately, for instance.

Definitely the author of this did not have a PC on their first 20 years since they first got sold. First of all, for at least 10 years PCs were considered not much powerful, neither much good for videogames compared with other computers.

I stil laugh at how the term gamers was used when there had been lots of people playing videogames already for decades ...

You say that but some of the first things scientists did was make games to test out computers.

They're extremely useful at pushing hardware and improving systems
