Any reason why it should be different with RAM?
Also the GPU shortage hasn't gone anywhere as shown by the 50xx cards release and with Nvidia saying it will not even release new GPUs in 2026, it's only getting worse.
Who in their right mind will sell it cheaper than the competitors?
Someone who's not an asshole. Also, if you sold it for cheaper you'd make bank because everyone would buy from you instead of your asshole competitors.
That's not how capitalism works. What will happen in this case, bigger players that don't want to lower their prices will run you out of business using a bunch of dirty tactics, bankrupt you twice over, and continue selling shit for as much as they can get away with.
Capitalism might be a good idea on paper, but this naive shit never actually works on practice, every time they build it, instead of self-regulating free market working for people, it devolves into this hell where practically monopolies divide the market and squeese everyone dry
I never said that was how capitalism worked. Nothing in this comment contradicts anything I said.
It kind of looks like you didn't understand my response. Do you want me to simplify it for you, or do you want to give it another pass?
It sounds like you didn't understand mine. Instead of insulting me do you want to fuck off?
"No u" is always a good response. No need for any of that pesky thinking, effectiveness through the roof
Why would they try to play this game of pretending that a free market is a thing that can exist, when they can set whatever price they want. What are you gonna do, not buy shit?
