Okay well that's the low-hanging fruit but explain to me the correlation? How does confusing their customers fuel their greed?
Uninformed buyers will buy the 8GB card get a poor experience and will be forced to buy a new card sooner than later.
So their strategy is making and selling shitty cards at high prices? Don't you think that would just make consumers consider a competing brand in the future?
For most consumers it might not, the amount of nvidia ~~propaganda~~ advertisement in games is huge.
Yea I don't know why buying a shitty product should convince me to throw more money at the company. They don't have a monopoly, so I would just go to their competitor instead.
It's like teens and IPhones, they don't care if they pickup a used 3 year old iPhone for more money than a new Android, they want the iPhone branding
The reviews said that it was a better card than the other brand.
Just imagine how bad those must have been!
They don't know they've been ripped off.
