      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.

    Was legit surprised to see my local microcenter sold out when I checked today. Pretty sure they had multiple hundreds in stock and now there’s only 1 left today.

        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.
