Jen gets on stage a few weeks ago and unveils the 1080/1070. Lots of flowery language and the usual tech reveal hype man talk. Everyone here and elsewhere is thinking it's gonna be really expensive based on what he's saying.
Then boom!
Everyone rejoices and loses their shit. What a deal. $599 is so reasonable for this top tier card.
Fast forward a couple weeks, and now it's "pssshhh nothin personell kid, but we're only dropping the reference card now and it's gonna be an extra $100". So now everyone who wanted one is either gonna have to shell out that extra $100 or wait who fucking knows how long for the custom cards with factory OCs and the like.
I understand it from a business standpoint. They want to cut off people who were gonna slam f5 on launch day and scalp them I guess. But this seems like a really egregious dick move to me.
