    Can we create a fund with gamers, and then buy the manufacturers that go under?

    We need just one of each, MB, PS, GPU, hopefully something for CPU will be buyable as well.

      I literally don’t think we will have enough money. These are near trillion dollar factories we’re talking about. Whole countries can’t even afford to make more.

      The sheer amount of global cooperation necessary to make these things is baffling.
