      They sold out their customers to the corporate overlords.

      You are no longer their customer.

      You have been replaced.

      What are the consumers going to do, stop consuming? Don’t make me laugh.

        They will consume less… I hope you had your laugh anyway stranger. Have a good day. Not sure why you’re being mean. I hope the week gets better, love.

          It was not my intent to be mean, it was my intent to be cynical. Good things almost never just accidentally happen in this system. When the AI demand dies down these companies will go back to making consumer/general purpose hardware and gamers will ravenously buy that shit up, because they haven’t been able to upgrade their rigs for years.

          A shift in demand. If or when the AI market dries up consumers will be more than eager to be able to buy components again.

          I don’t like it either but it is what it is.
