    Few groups have been bigger apologists for their corporate abusers than capital-G Gamers. They would have followed Nvidia into hell itself so long as Huang blew even the thinnest wisps of smoke up their unwashed asses. Discovering that their hardware suppliers have only ever used them for their money has seriously hurt their egos and broken their brains.

    It’s like Gamers thought they were dating the most popular kid in school, only to discover that they were only hanging out with Gamers because Gamers’ mom had an old Mustang that she like them drive. Now they’re dating someone rich college student who owns a Porche, and they’re not returning Gamers’ calls, and they’re going through all of the phase of teenage grief.

      And don’t forget tech “reviewers” like Linus who badmouth Nvidia and then only show their fucking GPUs in every video that isn’t an AMD benchmark

      NAILED. IT. I’d love all the people who feel they have a right to video cards explain that to a Palestinian orphan.
