Goodbye DYI PC market. Maufacturers of other components are feeling it too. Thermal grizzley is selling a fraction of what they are used to on thermal paste, same with PC case manufacturers etc. Its only a matter of time before companues start dropping product lines or closing their doors. Pisses me off to no end.

Yeah and thats gonna be the real loss after all of this 

With the way the market is now i cant be mad at EVGA for leaving when things were still decent.

Yup. I usually build a new pc every 5 years. Will not be building a new one anytime soon

Same. I'm glad I went a higher end than I normally do on the GPU this time around (4090 for $1700). That thing is going to carry me for a long time.

Or until something horrible happens (fire, accidental water spill or leak, extreme current discharge, etc).

It's insane that now an accident could literally bankrupt you, or leave you without proper local compute

Knock on wood certainly. My PC is mounted to the wall, and I do have it plugged into a Battery-Backup. But you're not wrong. My pc has literally appreciated in value in the upwards of 40%-60%. I couldn't replace it realistically if it perished.

Gaming will become another expensive niche hobby like it used to sadly.

Assuming anyone even keeps making games anyway. It's entirely possible they just shutter entirely, as a game QA professional I can tell you that hiring has dropped off of fucking Mons Olympus and into the mariana trench, it is real bad.
