I really, really hope that at least one of the manufacturers comes up with a (preferably hardware) solution to stop this f*cking mining nightmare because right now it's our problem, but in the not too distant future it will also be theirs, After all, who the f*ck is going to spend 6-700 € on just a GPU to play videogames when they can get a console that's cheaper and more powerful than said card?

With what's been going on around the world and the recent advances in tech, I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia/AMD don't really care what happens to us.

Nvidia has different avenues to choose from (like Ai cars for one), AMD has it's own avenues to go with as well, and while Low to medium end GPU's sell more in abundance than high/top end, we've also got the new consoles to content with, as well as stand-alone VR and now Cloud gaming and the ever present mobile gaming. 

Really wouldn't surprise me if they just let this shit get worse and then they suddenly turn around and mutter "we don't need you anymore", and then the platform gets fucked over, because some stupid fucks wanted their imaginary currency and two greedy companies (I'm not counting Intel because I don't expect them to be in this race for long) not valuing our money. 

Thankfully for us, both AMD and Nvidia are competing with each other, which means that they won't leave the gaming business anytime soon in fear that the other one won't leave it and dominate it, reaping all the profits for itself.

And there's also shareholders that would like to know why they are exiting a very lucrative market.

As for not caring about us, well, of course they don't! They only care about our money! And as long as there's money to be made, they'll be interested in getting some of it. But with that said, Nvidia did try to do something about crypto and try to bring prices down to MSRP, while AMD did nothing and Intel seems to be following AMD's path (although for Intel, selling cards is their main objective right now, without caring who buys them).
