Gamers, I think it is time that we do the unthinkable.
We must actually play our backlog of games.
Hey, with no hardware purchases we can buy more heavily discounted games that we will never play.
So far we are seeing significant price increases/low availability in:
- RAM
- SSDs/hard drives
- some microcontrollers
- phones
- and now GPUs
I think we are nearing a bit of a technological winter for the consumer market.
So the real question is… Once they’ve kicked the bubble into survival mode, how long before it collapses?
I think the real question is how long can these companies decrease supply until consumers get hooked on thin-clients like iPads for all their computing, and have to pay rent on cloud services and SaaS for everything they do.
This is an assault on democratized computing.
