Comment on Valve says there's no end in sight to the memory crisis, and prices are only going to increase: 'Honestly, it's still getting worse'

Glad I stocked up on all my gaming hardware before all these price increases. I don’t see the need to upgrade anything for quite some time. If the hobby stays expensive in 5-7 years I’ll likely just downsize to a single ecosystem instead of having them all.

I luckily stocked up on storage before the prices got crazy so I’m good there (although my RAID is gonna have to sit unfinished for a while), but I didn’t upgrade my RAM when I should have.

  I am in the same boat. I have 28TB of storage, but I am sad I didn’t buy more. I will be hoping that these drives hold on until the prices return to semi-normal.
  
  I stayed on AM4 and DDR4. I have been getting the absolute most out of that socket. Same B450 motherboard and swapped out my 3600 for a 5800x3D when prices were dirt cheap for that chip. I won’t upgrade until it dies or I can’t run the games I want anymore.
