Yes. I completely agree.
But I think the real problem is YouTube hardware reviewers. Especially Linus Tech Tips. Probably the biggest tech channel currently. I say this because they are constantly focused on the top tier products instead of mid tier which is where the bulk of PC gamers live at.
I know their mission is to generate views to make money but hyping primarily top tier products will keep causing manufacturers to focus production/supply on those product lines.
They also have a pulpit to say 'make more mid tier cards and leave the elite to the elite' but don't use it. I got a kick out of one of their WAN shows where they addressed themselves as not being influencers. That they just reviewed products purely on their merits. How are you non-biased when you choose which products to review?
Another thing that annoys the fuck out of me about their channel is that they went out of their way to get the ARC team to come to them recognizing the importance of a 3rd party in the GPU market to keep AMD and NVIDIA honest. So they know the importance of a 3rd party for competition even going so far as to use some Intel cards in a month long challenge. But were picky about the feedback regarding things like VR compatibility and streaming issues which effect how many gamers? DX9 stuff was addressed and still being worked on because it's just drivers. The overlay nonsense...it's software in infancy Luke. Grow the fuck up. Then as a dick smack in the face saying they couldn't get their NVIDIA cards back in fast enough. Must be nice to be able to give feedback from an ivory tower of gear.
Bottom line, I feel like YouTube channels like LTT are influencers and chose not to actively advocate for mid range gamers.

City construction noise fucks with my daily routine so I wear a headset or earbuds constantly. We live on the same planet whales so get with the program.

Sony has a bigger sandbox they've been playing for a while. Microsoft is trying to make their own bigger and taking a piss in Sony's as a fuck you.
It's funny to watch because no way this deal doesn't go through.

I was baptized and confirmed Catholic before I knew what was what. Once I got an inkling of the heart of the Catholic church was about and reached an age of reason, I put as much distance between it and me as I could.
Then I watched Warrior Nun and we're fucked without them. SEAL Team 666 better get ready!
