In the past, these launches were exciting. They represented hundreds of millions of dollars and countless hours of work. But this is not a launch. We know where it's going to sit roughly so reviews are not going to be exciting. And because no one will be able to buy them at a reasonable price, it's about as exciting as a tin of Lidl baked beans with no can opener.

I've already been slowly losing interest in gaming over the last few years but these crazy price hikes and dire availability even for products that came out months ago might just be the final nail in the coffin for this hobby for me.

$329 for a 60 card was already not a particularly exciting prospect to begin with.

Man, I remember when I would pick up my GPU on launch week at Fry's. Not like they were just always sitting on the shelf but within a week or two of launch it was basically certain I would get the card I was after.

Now, even though I have distributor access, getting cards is still super hard.
