But they also do insane prices when they feel like they can, for example when they were leading in the CPU market, they were selling Athlons at 1000$, and Fury and Vega were abysmally priced, just like VII looks to be.
My position on each of these 3 corporations is:
- each are immoral and greedy
- each is super big, wealthy and probably "too big to fail", and each would be rescued by the government if in crisis.
- neither cares about us, the consumer, they care first and foremost about creating increasing amounts of profit for shareholders
So, I am also NOT caring for them, at all, in fact, I despise them. I know a lot of people consider themselves "fans" of these corporations in some way, and I feel pity for them, I consider them deluded, like being in an abusive relationship.
Consumers should always follow their own interest above anything else, and never find excuses for corporations.
