   There have been quite a few articles on that fact. A simple trip to the   
   computer store will confirm that. To give you an idea, a 2TB hard disk I   
   bought at Walmart for around $80 a few years ago is now going for nearly   
   $200. Similarly, the Samsung 990 EVO 2TB I got about a year ago for $165   
   is now going for $265 around here. AI and cryptocurrency mining have made   
   RAM and GPUs prohibitively expensive. On the bright side, it means that   
   game companies will have no choice but to cater to those who have older   
   hardware if they plan on selling their games.
