When did the decline of PC gaming begin
>>738908331Flu 19. They used it as an excuse to hike GPU prices, which, of course, never went back down. Now the AI grift is balling out of control and fucking up RAM pricing.
The RTX 3000 series being scalped to high hell and back when crypto and NFT bullshit reared its ugly head.
As someone who doesn't buy overpriced hardware to play UE5 shit, PC gaming is as good as it's ever been.

>>738908498Of the many things Covid ruined for us, I don't know how you chose the one cryptominers were responsible for.
>>738908626My South American what?
>>738908638There was a severe lack of silicon during Covid. All electronics went up.
>>738908548This. I was refreshing Bestbuy for a week after the 3080 release date. I was also able to sell 3x 980s at $250 each during the same time.Luckily, I got a 4090 on release date. At the time, scalpers were avoiding them due to their high price, so they were available for over an hour. I miss retail pricing

>>738908331Around 2010 when PC ports of console games became the rule rather than the exception
>>738908331I'm fine because I didn't fall for the nvidia youtuber cabal saying the 5070ti was the worst card ever released. My 5070ti was the best purchase decision I've ever made and people who fell for the reviews are paying the price.
>>738910965Unironcially when PC gaming got good. PC gaming before that was a nightmare of buggy shitty ports and trash exclusives that uncs pretend are still good and will tell you with a straight face, "yeah bro Morrowind and Deus Ex HOLD UP, just as good today as they were in 2000, here bro come play a second" only for you to experience the worst controls and gameplay that are somehow worse than chugging a gallon of putrified liquid shit.
