Mainly just the market. Like what the fuck man this shit is absolutely insane. Valve is just caught in the cross-fire. I'm disappointed I'll probably build some scrap unit when I actually want to buy this. But the fucken market.

Ya I'm just holding on to my steam deck and old gaming PC. I'll play lower end shit for now, deck serves the same purpose as this but with less power.

Blame the elite pushing the AI to steal the jobs while simultaneously wrecking the market and climate.

We could a had a bad bitch. If local, smaller more focused models had taken off (because they are fucken better) consumer GPUs would have sold to nerds at home and blackwells wouldnt have been made. But that was never going to happen.
