Yup, afaic, it is the final nail in the coffin for PC gaming, a number of PC gamers have already been jumping ship to the consoles over the last 1-3 years (even more so since the ps 4 pro and xb1x) due to various things but mainly the price hikes. Now, well, I can just imagine even more doing the same. This is exactly why I haven't bothered spending any money on my gaming PC for years now, just not worth it in my eyes.
I'm just waiting for a good bundle deal on the ps 4 pro, hopefully there will be some good ones this year with spiderman amongst a few other exclusive titles.
Lets hope for the retailers sake that this mining bubble doesn't burst in a year or 2, otherwise they will be left with a lot of overpriced cards and very little to no gamers to buy them. I think AMD/nvidia knew themselves that PC gaming was on the decline (as well as being no were near as profitable as potential other markets) hence why they have been branching out to all other markets especially the car market now.
Also when developers/publishers start to see the PC version sales dropping, they will put even less time into the PC port i.e. expect graphics to be exactly the same as consoles and expect even more bugs and worse performance and who knows, if the lack of sales get to a certain point, they might not even bother releasing for the PC platform.
Even when vega 56/64 was £380/460, it was still a rip off, should have been no more than £350/400 at most

. However once I actually looked at the PC games market there's barely a game I'm desperate to play - The PC killer app has all but disappeared.
