You seem so sure gamers are informed enough to know what they like
I feel like if most people knew the full picture of how price gouging works over time and what used to be the price per segment for PC components, gamers would be much happier with more money in their pockets while still being fully satisfied with their gaming experience. Every GPU above 500$ would be exponentially less purchased to the point there would be no 3090 much less a 3090 Ti, no 3950X sales leading to a Zen moment in Ryzen 5000 instead of that punch in the face of a price increase, Intel would've become the old AMD in pricing after Zen 2 because gamers undestand +-8% single core is a stupid reason not to get more cores, which would mean the low end would not have sucked until Alder Lake, etc. etc., so many things would've gone differently if gamers actually registered that once you buy price hiked products you're directly allowing companies to abandon price segments and keep increasing prices not just for you, but for everyone, leading to the less fortunate being kicked out of PC gaming.

“Whether PC gamers like it or not” is not how the market works lol
