    It’s gonna be pretty funny when the bubble bursts and the memory and GPU companies that fucked over their bread-and-butter consumers, have to come groveling back to us in order to prop up their companies once again. I’m so goddamn sick of tech I might try to ride it out with my 2019 laptop for the foreseeable future. If a game doesn’t run on it, it will just become a game I don’t play.

      You don’t think their main source of income was ever consumer-grade memory… do you?

      It’s always been servers and business customers.

        If that’s the case, we’re not going to see affordable GPUs ever again. I didn’t think consumers were their biggest income, but it wasn’t pennies either.
