Can't it be both? Seems like a win-win for Nvidia and gamers. I can genuinely see a company like Nvidia getting a lot of customer feedback and maybe employees

  It makes sense to me that gamers as a market are more likely to be brand-loyal and gaming is also more moat-able than hashing. For miners, they just want whatever does more hashes per second. There's no loyalty there and the hardware is competing solely on hash/power/cost. For gaming, you have proprietary software and APIs like "RTX"-branded stuff, game-specific driver optimizations, etc. where you can better defend yourself against AMD. So for Nvidia, if they're going to sell X GPUs either way, they'd rather sell to gamers than miners to help preserve their gaming market share which plausibly has more long-term value. Just my guess, at least.

  I think the cynicism is akin to apple removing the charger/headphones from new iPhones. They claim it's for environmental purposes, and maybe they really do care, but many think it's just a cash grab.
