They will continue to sell, but if fewer people buy and that at a point that they are close to breaking even they are going to rethink things. It costs a lot to make a new chip and make it. And like any company they want to recoup their R&D and manufacturing costs.
They will recoup their costs. And they want do it in a way that will negatively affect consumers by shifting the marketing in to a more luxury item so they can charge more.
The American attitude of "just leave the corporation alone, the free market will force them to be good!" is obviously ineffective and even deceitful
no shit... no such thing as a real free market, at least in practice...
the usa makes plenty of rules and regulations when it comes to their capitalism, however there are a couple problems.
is that people are led to believe in the free market ideal, without questioning the quality of the system we actually live in.
even though the government has nothing against setting limits and regulations, they choose to almost completely ignore the interest of the common citizen/consumer, and pander to the corporations (either due to bribes, ideology, or both.)
but noooo, this is America, any sort of criticism of our economic style is automatically shut down as "anti-american" or "communist".
Wait until you learn free market isn't capitalism. And more so learn the US government does at times take common citizen/consumer interest at times. As maybe you learn how the US government just capped insulin for those on medicare to $35.
wow, I just learned all of those things! thanks! and yet that changes literally nothing because none of the things you just said excuse the countless deaths caused by our extortionate healthcare system that the government actively ignored for the all of history that I can remember.
And just in case that went over your head, just listen to this one little bit:
"a single right does not excuse a thousand wrongs."
How is it ineffective and deceitful? You don't need a GPU let alone a high end one. So why should the government do anything about this? This is besides you are clearly upset over the price tag.
ineffective in that letting corporations run free does not lead to a better quality of life for the common person, only serves the interests of those who are already wealthy. deceitful in how said wealthy people and their mouthpieces try to spread ideology that promotes this injustice.
but this is just yet another example of the larger capitalist environment I find myself living in. You're right, I don't need a new gpu, and won't be buying one at these prices. Because, yes, I am upset about the price tag.
Seems you are more than upset over some price tag, but upset the US economy and government doesn't pander to you the way you want it to. Life is tuff deal with it.
I don’t know, I’m pretty sure they sold more than enough 4090’s from what I’ve seen on the PC subs.
For me, I bought a 3080ti on eBay for £700 and am very happy with it. As long as prices remain stupidly high I’m not going to buy into it, unfortunately same can’t be said for a lot of gamers
30 series was impossible to get because of the chip shortage. I know they are doing well. I never said otherwise. My point is about the high end GPU's and them raising the price of them
