This is a terrible move. This is also a fantastic move. Personally I am very very VERY much okay with this. This will keep consumer cards in correct demand. And if miners want to throw away money for mining, they can. People talking of modding, its a high effort and high risk. Again, I'm okay with that. The cost of modding will likely be the same as just buying a specialized card. Overall mining is a horrible environmental impact.
