It's a pretty weak argument using a metric without historical numbers then claiming it means something.
It seems reasonable less people would be building a rig with the price crunch, but that survey and this article isn't making much of a case for the argument besides emotional appeal
If on average a PC gamer build a PC every 5 years (which, IMO, is enough), then roughly 60% will have a PC new enough that they won't plan to build one in the next two years
Correct, utterly useless. But people take the bait, look at the response even here on far above critical Lemmy users.
