There's some truth to this. People at Chipotle, McDonald's, Starbucks etc can make more than I do, at least on an hourly basis, doing heavy factory work. Still, my wages have gone up considerably since I started in 2015, almost double. Though the price of living has gone up considerably as well. As such, paying $600 for a midrange card isn't going to happen any time soon when I have other responsibilities.Nah bro $600 is teenager pocket change. If you can't afford $600 for midrange PC GPU then you need to reevaluate yourself. $600 is the new mainstream/midrange guess your poorer than a teenager. You going to be in the store browsing the GPUs looking at the open box discounts trying to decide which best fits your budget but you have to get something older because the value just isn't there on the current stuff while some teenager pulls over $650 from his pocket for a mainstream 4070 when you paid about half that for your 970 in your late teens. So you think to yourself "are GPUs really worth being twice as expensive as before or are teenagers just half as smart as they used to be?"

While I don't disagree, I wish vehicles were like that here, a new pickup truck pretty basic, as in no cruise control (but crew cab 4x4), I'm looking at $64,000 ish (CAD) w/o 13% tax and the winters here will completely destroy it in 10 years................................. :|I don't know about you man, but I don't think these qualify as cheap toys any longer... An RTX 4090 costs as much as an used entry-level car in most of the world. Or I could pay practically half of a brand new popular vehicle here.
Long gone are the days that I paid $125 USD on a mint condition R9 Fury X, even in the richer nations, I doubt most people have $2000 to throw around like it's nothing.
