That's exactly how I feel when gamers complain that a GPU that used to cost $1000 now costs $2000.

Someone whose hobby is Gaming, saves up diligently to pay $1k for a GPU, now has the rug pulled from under them and its $2k. Amortizing a $1k GPU over 4 years isn't too bad, $250 a year, $20 and change a month vs $500 a year / $40 a month is pretty big.

I mean doubling in price is pretty significant though? I used to happily (well, grudgingly) spend $500 on a GPU. $1k is crazy though.
