PC Building is DYING (They Planned It)
RAM tripled in a year, the 5090 is selling for used car money, Nvidia just quietly stopped counting gaming as its own business, and for the first time since COVID it's cheaper to buy a prebuilt than to build the same machine yourself. Everyone looked at those numbers and called it: PC building is dead. I think that conclusion is wrong, and I own a prebuilt company, so weigh that however you want. In this video, I break down why the memory crisis was a strategy and not a shortage, how three companies decided your hobby was worth more to them as margin than as a market, and why the people writing the obituary are missing the entire point. If your last build cost more than your first car, this one's for you.
Not in the market for a build right now? Totally fair, that's kind of the whole point of this video. But if you ever want a machine that just works, with one number to call when it doesn't, that's what we do at METAPCs ➡️ https://bit.ly/3Mb4yVg
