Are we? Seems like GPUs are not available on launch, or even after a long while. Scalpers are at it again. Should I not wait and look into the used market?

I would never expect anything day 1, ever. Scalpers ruined day 1. And though I would be surprised if they were out of stock a week later. Unlike Nvidia they actually want to sell cards.

Man, I even fucking forgot what "day one" is. Wow. Shit DID get ruined. Scalping should be a crime punishable by law.

Unfortunately it's pure capitalism. No matter what company got paid. They don't care about it users got the card they wanted, or even if the scalers make a profit or go bust, they already got paid.
