    The prices will never go back to normal because that’s not how pricing works. Once its proven that consumers will pay the price, they will modulate supply to keep the price where it is. Why do more for less when they can do less for more.

    We’re fucked. It’s not going to get better. Act accordingly.

      If that were the case then why are we currently talking about these insane price hikes when RAM was more expensive than it is now 20 years ago? That could only have happened if prices went down.
