I was always wondering why the big players don't just make ASICS for crypto mining that would make happy both the miners (with their faster speeds) and the gamers (who would not have to compete to get a gaming card).
But now it is obvious to me. It is better to have in your earnings gpu sales because you can always claim that you expect a steady source of income. If they had 60% of their revenue explicitly from a volatile market like crypto mining, then their stock would not look attractive.
