Memory Prices Indefinitely High: SK Hynix Says Shortage Continues Through 2030 We haven't been complaining about RAM prices quite as much on the podcast
It’s bad, OK, I’m not trying to remove any blame or criticism for the situation.
That being said, what actual normal usage for a normal person (not a National Geographic 8K stereo 360 video editor or a developer compiling Firefox daily) needs a lot, say more than 16GBm of RAM?
Again I’m not trying to find a way to accept a bad situation, only to see which actual usages are in trouble because honestly I don’t see any.
Did a quick search and “Most games required more than 16GB RAM ONLY if the game was played at 4k or 8k resolution. Usually between 16-25GB RAM” https://laptopstudy.com/ram-usage-games/ so I would argue that’s not a typical usage.

There are some games that require a lot of RAM, especially if recording while playing or something.
The fact that you wrote “some” perfectly illustrates my point, it’s not normal. It doesn’t mean those usages aren’t important, just not typical.
It just means I wasn’t sure my example (4x games) was completely right
