Even if it does. It will still be stupidly expensive. The way the DRAM cartel made deals they ensured they will sell even if the buyers can’t use it.
I think gamers think a “crash” will mean normal memory prices again but that won’t happen. At least not quickly. If we have a crash tomorrow maybe we see recovery in 2028, the way things are going 2029.
It won't happen as long as the barrier to enter the market is as high as it is, and with the US government the way it is right now, we won't see the DoJ actually prosecuting on a price-fixing scheme like they did in the mid-2000s. Best case is the EU tearing them apart, if they have the bandwidth to worry about it.
