The market for video games is pretty efficient. It doesn't apply to necessities, or services with natural monopolies, but Nvidia has competition not just from AMD but also its own old tech, and games arent necessities.

But really this isn't about the market: you have a choice of whether to buy and play games you find ugly or not.

    are you a bot? I ask because that response was grammatically completely coherent and intelligent-sounding, but the entire content bore no relation to reality. I mean there’s not even anything to argue with, it was just straight up 100% wrong.

    But they're not wrong. Video games are a luxury and you can just decide to not buy games that have features you don't want.

    The only way to make the companies change is to vote with your wallet. Just look at the Kimmel fiasco. It only took Disney losing like 1% of their subscriptions to change course.

    That’s a great example of the exception proving the rule: companies across all industries do shitty things on the regular, but incidents like Jimmy Kimmel only happen when you get a once-in-a-year massive swell so big that even I heard about it, and I don’t even live in the US.

    Your example doesn’t prove that the buyers control the market, it demonstrates just how weak that control is and how big a backlash is needed to get even a tiny change made.
