Wasn't it about gamers not all that long ago? Is it kthxbai to gamers now?

Hoping politicians investigate these "barons" for price fixing and collusion ...

I really don't understand the strategy of these companies. I don't care much about AI, but at some point, the current AI models will be able to run in old hardware. Hopefully that would leave room for other manufacturers to get into the market. I understand that right now it's really hard to compete because it requires top notch manufacturing processes. But that's not going to be the case forever. By being hostile to personal consumers, they may make more profit now, but what's the long term plan? I still run my 2060GTX and it's fine

I am going to lose it when the market finally crashes and somehow Intel will take the GPU consumer market.
