Such unfounded confidence that a professional report studying the cost of GPUs fails to account for some basic shit someone would tell you on Reddit is just arrogance; there’s no other word for it.
No, it’s a reasonable response to years of AIB price reporting that has very often neglected to call out the price gouging that I mentioned. Obviously, I wasn’t about to spend $3000 and hours of my time, nor grovel through its table of contents, to find out whether this particular report was an exception that was somehow overlooked in the article that was shared with the public.

In any case, your short-sighted assessment of my comment is exceeded only by your rudeness and hair-trigger combativeness. You’re not exactly making this forum a nicer place to be. Kindly go take a walk.

I’d wager my kidneys to a pack of gum that you didn’t even know there was a full, paywalled report behind this before you commented (the PC Gamer article you quoted never cites $3000). If you did, this line of reasoning would be an interesting way to save face had, again, a bulleted description and table of contents not been freely available, making laughably obvious what minimal critical thought went into your mischaracterization of the report.
And frankly, if you did know, that’s even wilder, because you fully assumed you knew better; you didn’t even try to qualify it. You just outright said they failed to account for it without knowing what was in the report. Which is somehow even worse.
