> gamers [...] need to shut up and enjoy a good thing while it lasts. I don't consider what is happening to be good. I don't think cryptocurrencies are a positive change for the world at large nor for gaming in particular. I don't want to make money off of my hobby, I want it to be my hobby. > It's very odd to watch a group of people bitch that they are handed a bunch of free money, but gamers manage to do it. Gamers are being handed insanely inflated prices for hardware, and many of us don't want to deal with the crypto bubble - we just want to game. I'd flip this on its end. Miners and AI enthusiasts really should be thanking gamers - we've put up the money that allowed GPU research to reach the point it's at today.
