Respectfully, the fact that there exists some "scalpers" doesn't prove there is a problem, nor how many were grabbed by scalpers vs. "legitimate" buyers. The theory about "bots" better have some serious evidence to be considered as facts.
The "immediate non-availability" is not a "fact" either. While I don't know the global distribution between wholesalers, a single scandinavian shop got hundreds of these, so there were likely many thousands globally. All the facts points to it not being a paper launch, just extreme demand.
Nooo don't you know that according to the AMD fanboys, nobody wants to buy an Ngreedia card, therefore the only explanation for there being no stock is that Ngreedia never released stock!
Or it could be, as Occam's razor would dictate, there are a lot of people who want these cards and not a lot to go around (which is not the same as a paper launch, I don't understand why I even have to explain this).
But fanboys and logic don't mesh too well at the best of times.
