I think part of the allure was that most people didn't know how to solve it.

I was referring to the graphics card market for consumers, not nVidia's share value on the stock market.

I mean Tesla has a higher market cap than, Ford, Honda, BMW, GM, Daimler, VW, and Toyota COMBINED. So sorry if I don't exactly trust what tech bros are throwing money at.

I don't think its sustainable. Okay fewer units, higher margin, same profits right? But a few years down the road, fewer units meant fewer customers, right?

Fewer customers for them also means fewer customers buying PC games.

Which means less incentive and funding to the publishers and developers of PC games.

Which means a reduction in the quality and/or quantity of PC games.

Which reduces the incentive to pay the bloated prices to stay in PC gaming.

Which means fewer units shipped.

I think that having a drastic reduction in GPU sales should be a cause for alarm for the entire PC gaming industry and beyond. Maybe its just because of the glut of used cards. Maybe its the prices. Probably both and other reasons all together.

I think that if the number of units shipped stays deflated, they're gonna have some major problems.

For now. I'll guarantee they lost market share. How many young people can afford their stuff? How many people have decided to just go with consoles that are much more affordable? I wouldn't be shocked if they've all but lost 20 something year olds. Between mining inflation, then covid shortages, then more mining inflation, the market has been unfriendly for close to 10 years.

Imagine that. Money is getting tighter for people yet they keep raising prices by leaps and bounds. Maybe they should fire their executives since literally any jackass could see how their plan wasn't going to work.

Holy shit its February already?

Maybe not 'safe' but the cat's probably fine. I imagine it hurt a bit.
