Sure, but you're comparing apples to oranges. If you personally play older or not gpu intensive games at medium settings, then you can absolutely buy a gpu once every 7-10 years and not be affected by any scalpers. NES emulators are pretty cheap right now :-) You can also get an Intel GPU for under MSRP.

Obviously a hyperbole, but PC gamers looking for latest and greatest were affected much worse than console gamers wanting the latest stuff.

Just the crypto hype alone made it nearly impossible to get a decent gpu for years.

This discussion is about general accessibility. Obviously I'm not referring to people who do cartwheels for the absolute latest tech.

Ps5 pro was released a few days ago. Otherwise why are we even talking about scalpers and availability?

Was it? I've been hearing about it for what feels like months, I figured it launched ages ago

And now AI, and NVIDIA gimped every GPU in their lineup, except the 90s.
