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.
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.
