Cuz without him and Nvidia, we wouldnt have thousand dollar gpus and max spec requirement would reach a cap. Like a “wealth cap” but for hardware. Right?
Gaming has never been more accessible to people on a budget. The indie gaming scene is massive right now.
Nah, someone else would be a greedy fuck instead. He’s a symptom of the system, not the cause.
It’s kind of the problem with plotting CEO decisions to an individual. Maybe if there weren’t a Jensen Huang nvidia wouldn’t have leaked whatever they did to a chinese spy. But it’s just like when united health was Luigi’d, There was the chilling effect sure but new CEOs in, and everythings back to business as usual.
Bottom line, NVidia’s making a killing, I find it hard to believe that the shareholders would ever tolerate someone who wouldn’t have also sold out to the AI bubble.

In the 2000s ATI (bought by AMD) was often releasing higher end cards than Nvidia. Matrix/3dfx were the prior generation and weren’t cheap either.
Love them or hate them, Intel and their decades of integrated graphics are ultimately responsible for their even being a market for affordable GPUs.
