Legally wrong with? Nothing. Brand-wise? Huge. Gamers and miners hate them for this. As a shareholder I'd imagine you want continuing revenue, not a short bump

As a shareholder I'd imagine you want continuing revenue, not a short bump before the market switches to AMD.
- babypuncher 6y agoWhy would gamers hate them for this? The whole point was to try and free up more 3060 supply for gamers.
- Dylan16807 6y agoThe restrictions were never going to work against industrial miners. What they actually do is make it harder for gamers to mine in their spare time, making it harder to offset the card cost and meaning big miners have more profit and can bid up prices even more.
- Rule35 6y agoBecause they screwed up the earlier launches unrelated to mining, because they practice annoying market segmentation anyways, because it's seen as a cash grab, because it isn't helping one bit despite the hassle, because stopping mining also degrades the value of the card for resale even if the original buyer is a gamer, and because restricted drivers are DRM and people hate that. They just have no credibility now so nobody believes it was to help anyone but themselves.
