why do we deserve better?
Because I’m a Gamer! A Gamer! The most oppressed minority on the planet!
But the author’s actual reason is:
Our hobby deserves better from the companies that made their billions on the backs of PC gaming
Which seems about as true as saying Microsoft made their billions on the backs of PC gaming.
Because I’m a Gamer! A Gamer! The most oppressed minority on the planet!
Said no one with 2 neurons to rub together, ever…
Except in OP’s whet dreams where they ride a white horse to battle to save all those oppressed by the moustache twirling evil aryan gamers.
we could always stop buying stuff there’s a shit ton of good games that run on low end hardware
They have been starving the market for months. All part of the plan.

Is there still crypto mining stuff going on with GPUs?
It’s partially AI, but in all likelihood customers aren’t buying with AI as a high priority; instead, supply is constrained because most of the same production capacity is being used on AI-focused enterprise hardware.
Not as far as I know most of the popular coins either use asic mining or proof of stake. Maybe they use them for memecoin or something idk.
