And the problem is... that Nvidia will sell a lot of them. Whether that "a lot" is enough for Nvidia remains to be seen but, for our own sake, let's hope that it's not enough. Otherwise, the price of the RTX 5000 series will be even worse.

I've seen where rich and mobile gaming folks take things, this can only get worse and worse, until eventually, years later, everyone stops paying for it.

I'm just glad that I'm one of those folks out there who is price conscious and aware of where the shit is going to hit the fan. Most rich folks out there don't care about price, thus being price conscious doesn't even factor or begin to be a thing for them to consider, so they won't care about the long-term damage they will cause. 

I don't give a sh*t about rich people, as you call them, but this is a problem that affects more than just the high end.

If the xx80 card gets a price increase, then the xx70 will also follow suit because otherwise the xx80 wouldn't be attractive from a price/performance point of view. And if the xx70 rises its price, so will the xx60 and xx50 cards for the exact same reason. So it's not just the xx80 price going up that is the problem, but the fact that they carry the whole stack with them, hurting mid-range and low-end consumers as well.
