I know it’s the flavour of the month to bleat about having to rent things…..but last time I checked, you’re still free to buy all your music, books, films etc on physical media if you choose to.
You certainly have the option of renting stuff digitally. But the market isn’t going to stop selling GPUs to gamers, same as it didn’t stop selling books, CDs, Blu-ray etc etc. to people that want to hand over their cash for it.
The only people happy about the current massive demand/supply upheaval in the memory market are the memory manufacturers. It’s not some global conspiracy to push people to digital rentals.
