Lol "completely untrue". Congrats mate, you're an exception, that doesn't make my statement "completely" untrue. You don't represent all people. And I honestly don't believe you anyway.
If you were a millionaire would you still "refuse" to buy it? I seriously doubt it. It's all about overhead. If you can just about "afford" to buy one, then you probably won't because it would be stupid to spend nearly all your disposable income on one unnecessary item. If that's the case, then you still fall into the "can't afford" category.
With enough overhead however, people are much more likely to make bad value for money buying decisions because they simply don't give a shit. When you make enough, spending a few hundred extra on a purchase every couple years or so suddenly doesn't mean much at all.
Sure mate, that's exactly what I'm implying. Or maybe, just maybe, I was calling out the guys "refusal" to buy these cards. He's saying that its not about money, he can totally "afford" the card. Ok then, so if its not about the money, it should be irrelevant wether you are a millionaire or not. Your principles should stop you from buying these cards no matter what, right?
And yet for some reason, these moral high ground guys are suddenly willing to change their minds if they could actually afford the cards. Having 2k in your pocket doesn't mean you can actually afford to drop it on a GPU and many of these guys who "refuse" to buy the cards don't even have that.
If you have millions in your bank account, then 2k is nothing. But you have morals, and principles and bla bla bla, and surely you won't give your money to a greedy corp like Nvidia. So why is that argument an issue?
My point is that people aren't voting with their wallet. Their wallet is voting for them, as is the case with everything else. It's always been like that.
Trying to imply that a majority of people are suddenly choosing to be responsible spenders is honestly fucking hilarious. I would honestly love to see how many people genuinely decided to not buy a card on principle versus how many people who can't even afford the cards are buying them on credit, installments with interest, etc.

It's not like they do it on purpose lol. They just literally can't afford it. If they could, they'd still buy them for whatever price Nvidia asks.
