Let's say I wanted to buy a 70 ti class card:

MSRP (USA):

1070 Ti: $399

2070 Super: $499

3070 Ti: $600

4070 Ti: $800

Do you not see the issue here.

Those prices would go down if gamers didn’t “need” the shiny new toy every single iteration. That’s what OP is saying. They think they can sell the 4070 for $800 because they’re pretty sure we’ll cave and just buy it.

It’s uncomfortable to admit it, but the reason so many gaming companies are so scummy is because gamers have very little self control.
