Rules:
All this for like 3 people in the world to push an idea that billions of people don't want to have anything to do with. The companies that produce this shit ought be ashamed of themselves for selling out to those few fuckfaces that DIDN'T help them build their businesses. We the consumers are now fucked out of future products and warranty support because of these assholes.
Bubbles are fucking stupid.
The thing is as long as those 3 people and their buddies make a pile of cash, they don't care if the other billions are unhappy.
And still we vote for their enablers...
Not just the consumers are fucked, everything PC gaming-related is too. Hardware, peripherals, supporting mod/upgrade components, etc. GNs video with all the interviews was dark. I recommend it.
Yeah the situation is so shit.
I wanted to buy another stick of RAM for my laptop, this was never expensive in the past. Now, 300 €, wtf? Shit used to be like 30 € for a small upgrade like that.
Almost no business can complain. They're all capitalists and would do the exact same thing.
The PC industry is doing what the US auto industry learned around the time of the pandemic, or at least used the pandemic for an excuse. That they can make fewer high margin trucks and SUVs, sell them to the 20 percent who make enough to service the debt on loans, and still make more money than they did selling econoboxes to the masses.
The rest of us are left fighting for used parts and cars to keep our 15 year old shit boxes running to our $25 a hour jobs to pay our $2000 a month rent.
Yeah man it's crazy. I got a killer deal on a 2025 ROG Zephyrus G16 285h/32/3tb/5070ti ($1,800), I looked at the 2026 model that only had 1tb and an updated 385h cpu (a little better battery) it went from $2,800 to $3,800 msrp. I'm guessing because of a new ram agreement for the new model year, and it still only had 1/3 the storage.
