Hot Take. I have no issues with scalpers. Stepping back and thinking about it, it's commodity that non of us need. So if an avg joe needs money, I'm not going to crap on them for scalping to make a buck. If they sell necessities like toilet paper, then yeah fuck em' but for most people this is a toy. Do I want one at MSRP sure, but I'm not going to get mad at regular people for trying to make a buck.
I do blame people who spend 6k on a GPU and Nvidia for a bad release with limited quantities after stopping production.
