alt Hacker NewsPC enthusiasts aren't exactly sentimental when in front of a spec sheet and a price list. Plus where else are you going to go. All manufacturers are hiking up their margin if you believe their stock prices.

Hey, I'm a PC enthusiast and I'm sentimental about Crucial exiting. They made some of the best memory and flash storage, and they didn't market it stupidly -- they were just reliable and dependable and that was it. They also didn't try to hide their components by packaging it into some flashy shell, which I incredibly appreciated. Of course, I've been going more TEAMGROUP lately anyway, but Crucial was tried and true, and now it's dead.
It lives with some of the other things I'm grieving due to the AI boom, like Apple's car project.
If the gaming community is any indication (nvidia, lootboxes and gatcha mechanics, pre-ordering etc.), most people won't care and will be just happy that prices are down again and FOMO will win.
