I mean...you realize that as someone who plays only in high refresh PC VR you are a niche of a niche of a niche of a rich person's hobby...right?
A niche that didn't exist when flagship GPUs were $500

Damn first time ive been called rich, im in the bottom 10% of my country wealthwise, thats why that price increase stings quite alot.

You're in the bottom 10% of your country but you have a multi thousand dollar VR gaming setup for fun?
Jopojussi t1_iv1aeva wrote
Yes, also my pc cost about 1,4k so not really a multi thousand. I did save for quite a long time.

The bottom 10% in the US is $8800/yr.
That's $4000 below the federal poverty level.
Don't you need the money for...food? Or education? Or housing?
Or....anything more important than video games when you're cripplingly poor?

I'm amazed of how suddenly you decided to change the topic.

I was responding to his responses.
Here, I'll sum the discussion up:
"PC Gaming is going to become niche if flagship cards are so expensive!"
"Flagship cards are already niche and have always been."
"But flagship cards used to be $400-$500!"
"It's been 12 years since the last $500 flagship card"
"Does that make it okay?"
"Yes, because this isn't a NEEDED product. The market will determine its worth."
"I play exclusively PC VR I need this product!"
"PC VR is sub niche of a sub niche of a rich person's hobby. It's okay for the market to decide the value of that."
"JK, I'm not rich, I'm actually cripplingly poor."
"You're cripplingly poor with a multi thousand dollar gaming setup?"
"It's actually only $1,400"
"Why do you have a $1,400 PC if you're cripplingly poor?"
Alrighty. All caught up?
