Apparently (one of?) the official Nvidia seller(s) in Europe gave put special links to selected people so they could order their cards ~1h before the official launch. Some scalpers got their hands on that link and simply bought all of them. Kinda insane to Honor those sales tbh if that story is true.
Why not both? Of course it's the companies not giving a shit about who buys their stuff and those idiots who actually buy cards for 3x retail prices who enable this kind of behaviour. However, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. I think it's highly unethical to exploit regular people like this.
Of course, if you buy the card you're a moron and part of the problem but that doesn't mean I don't think scalpers are scum.
I think companies should do more to stop scalpers from buying too many high value items because...
Apple sells a piece of cloth for 29,99 and people wait in line.
...people are idiots and need to be protected from themselves.
Realistically though it's not a problem that is going to go away anytime soon. Companies aren't going to do shit because why would they and there's always going to be sacks of human garbage who
Ach, am Dienstagabend war mal wieder Notarzteinsatz am Stuttgarter Hauptbahnhof, deswegen fuhren kurzerhand halt gar keine S-Bahnen mehr durch den Tunnel. Ist dann schön wenn tausende Menschen, die gerade auf dem Weg zum DFB Pokal Spiel oder dem zeitgleich stattfindenden Konzert direkt daneben sind, sich in die wesentlich kleineren U-Bahnen reinquetschen müssen.
From what I've heard scalpers bought basically the entire European stock of 5090s because they got early access to the sale from nvidia. Fun times we live in.

The news article is posted here a bit late. Republic day was yesterday, holocaust remembrance day is today and at least for me the doodle is already gone.
Yeah, that's totally fair. Besides denuvo that was my other concern. I only buy like five games a year though and never at release so I thought I'd treat myself xD
I'd probably recommend to anyone who hasn't sunk hundreds of hours into any of the other civ games to just buy 6/5 and play that until 7 is on sale with a dlc or two. Seeing as how notorious civ is for being worse than the predecessor without dlc.
After thinking about it for weeks I think I've finally settled on buying it, assuming day 1 performance is good. No preorders. I'm not installing that denuvo garbage on my pc though so at least civ 7 has finally made me switch to Linux last weekend.
Waaah, waaaah, my profits. They'd end up having to pay their workers less so they don't have to decrease their own salaries, those poor, poor CEOs. Also treat their animals marginally better but none of those people care about that...
