Market crash Memes

The PC hardware market is basically a self-destructive ouroboros at this point. Steam releases a new hardware category, and instead of celebrating innovation, the entire industry collectively panics and implodes like a poorly optimized recursive function with no base case. RAM prices skyrocket? Check. SSD manufacturers forming cartels? Check. Nvidia treating GPU pricing like it's a cryptocurrency bubble? Double check. And now Steam drops literally anything new into the ecosystem and suddenly manufacturers are cutting production, prices are collapsing, and everyone's wondering if they should've just stuck with console gaming. It's like the hardware industry has the stability of a production server running on untested code at 3 AM on a Friday. One small change and the whole thing goes down harder than a null pointer exception.
