Amen to that. Last gpu i bought at 2.5k€ when i thought “it only rises more, buy now or never”…then it went down again. never recovered. Now the card is already outdated and i would have to shell out another 1,5k. or 1k for AMD (slower but linux-y). But then again I was lucky with RAM. Upgrade servers and gamingrig with 2x128gb+64gb. THEN it started to rise. Now i would have to pay for the ram what the server did cost in complete. ARE THEY FUCKING NUTS?!
And I hear you. Never had a console (except the atari 2600), but seeing what Sony does pisses me off. This was one reason i boycotted steam when it started. For many years. Until i gave up, they won. And today? It’s the least bad player in the market. As long as gaben don’t die and they go public.
It’s really sad, gaming always was my passion. Tech in general. Now it mostly aggravates me. But hey, at least we have linux+FOSS left. But maybe the “AI”-bubble will burst and then shits hits the fan. Either temporarily to our benefit or…i don’t wanna continue the thought.
