3080 had an unfair launch. Only those with bots got to buy a card.

Go into the actual shop, sold out. They locked out IP addresses, or cherry picked the first few auto notifies they received when that went live. My notify was never given and the function never changed on site.

I'm done with this company, thought at least they could give everyone a equal chance of getting to least the basket.

Yeah fuck them. It was rigged. Zero cards were even listed for sale for five fucking seconds. Hell, not even one second. Apparently they pulled some caching crap where nobody gets to buy a card unless you have a bot farm. I didn't even get to put the 3080 into my cart, and try to buy it. And I was hitting refresh like a mad man. Might as well have handed every single card to the scalpers on a silver platter. And by every single card I mean all 400 of them. Because that might as well have been their fucking stock.

Same for so many people, I just believe they notified a select few. Or they never had stock to begin with, fuck knows and fuck cares now to be honest.
