Same thing with Taylor Swift tickets I guess? I’d imagine it’s because of negative backlash to charging so much. Instead of people being mad at the scalpers, they’d be mad at the retailers.
I’m personally kind of partial to the lottery method for right to buy, since it cuts down on scalpers.

Pure greed. TSMC built tons of capacity since the pandemic, RAM makers have cut back production because of low prices.
There is tons of capacity out there to make more graphics cards, even including all the big data centers using them for AI. but i guess its more profitable to sell a small number of cards to rich gamers and AI companies
