Crypto mining... This is going to trigger some people, but it has to be said.
Let's get the basics out of the way first...
nVidia is worth 0.3 Trillion dollars
AMD is worth 0.1 Trillion dollars
Together, they are not worth half a trillion dollars, and we want them to control a cryptocurrency market with a cap of 1.6 Trillion ? That is larger than the whole of Google (which is worth 1.4 Trillion). Do you really honestly think, that AMD and nVidia can do anything about this...? REALLY?
People complain about large corporations all the time, but when there's a free resource out there to directly be part of something bigger, people fight against it. Mining is an opportunity for everyone that bought a graphics card to make the card pay back for itself. And it's sad that people not only complain about mining, but go as far as wanting that ability removed from gamers, to try and artificially control a market that is bigger than Google... Yeah... Good luck with that.
But what do I know...?

The issue here is people having an obsession with new stuff. Most of us have backlogs of games that we never played, yet we can play with our current hardware. Do you know how many good games are out there that the majority of us can play even with integrated graphics?
But noooo. We must have that latest newest shiny thing, otherwise gaming is impossible...
We live in a dopamine addicted society where we want immediate satisfaction, while there's a bunch of other options to achieve basically the same thing. If you play Cyberpunk 2077 today or in a year from now, it's the same game. In fact, it might even be a better game a year from now due to patches, and might even be cheaper to boot.
Seriously... I don't get it. Graphics card are not food. You're not going to die if you don't get one. The world would be a much better place if we fixed our addictions and looked at opportunities instead of limitations. Just try and not ruin things for the rest of us with your ignorance.
