Gamers should boycott Nvidia.

They abandoned us for making crypto mining machines, leaving gamers with expensive and hard to get cards.

They abandoned us for making AI bubble machines, leaving gamers with expensive and hard to get cards AND crashing our economy.

No more Nvidia cards!

Didn't they have to make separate products for crypto and actively dissuade the use of GPUs for this? At least in software they tried this.

@YourMom yeah for a very short duration they made hash-limited cards, it was firmware. But you need to ask yourself what amount they were producing for consumers vs. the amount they were producing for crypto farms. When crypto boom happened, GPUs were a unicorn in a haystack, and the hash reduced cards didn't do shit. This is because Nvidia could basically sell anything they squirted out of their factories to crypto miners and Nvidia couldn't give a shit and a half about gamers and their cards getting scalped.

@AlgoRythm finding a unicorn in a haystack is easy. Just put the haystack on fire and get the plates.

Yeah, why not try to start a boycott movement.

I'd argue that it is kinda pointless for individuals to boycott on their own. The entire purpose is to make the company aware, right? But unless there's a big well-known initiative behind it - they may not even notice.

@jiraTicket Nvidia is in a dangerous position where Radeon cards are a very extremely viable alternative and even Intel Arc cards are starting to get good. When you upgrade your GPU, go for AMD instead of Nvidia!

I boycot nvidia bc I console game 😜

Nah, write your representatives.

Reminds me as news reports hit about South American farmers dying of the green tobacco sickness, because they couldn't afford gloves.

Demonstrations in front of the corporate HQ of Lucky Strikes.

Fucking morons. They need not pressure Lucky Strikes, but their representatives. That's what the companies are doing, too. Best thing you can do is form a lobby group for your ideas, a watchdog group to keep people informed and threaten to not elect parties anymore that don't do anything.

Well... What probably happened was that the supplier was dropped, someone from China is now probably buying the tobacco and probably reselling it to Marlboro. And nothing changed for the farmers.

Don't ever tell companies. That's just an unfair competitive disadvantage. Tell your representatives. They make rules for all.

The biggest trick companies played on us is making us believe we should interact with them while they interact with our politicians
