Everyone needs ram and cpus and other general things so it's in their interest to reduce cost and produce a lot. Stuff like enthusiast gaming GPUs have a relatively niche audience with niche buying habits which is why companies tend to get away with exploiting that.
It’s in our interest. It’s in direct conflict with their interests. Enthusiast GPUs aren’t the only product selling for the highest price they can get away with, almost every component is, including even non-enthusiast GPUs
It's nothing to do with gamers and everything to do with AI data centers at this point. But if you can hold out a little longer the used market will be absolutely flooded with them when the AI bubble pops. Even the king of AI Sam Altman has acknowledged it at this point.
