As Xi'an locks down due to a double outbreak of COVID-19 and hemorrhagic fever, two of the largest semiconductor companies on the planet, Samsung (South Korea) and Micron (USA), have warned that draconian lockdowns in Xi'an caused by the CCP's "zero-COVID policy" will affect production of semiconductors in the area.

This is a huge blow to those wanting to get a new graphics card, a PlayStation 5, or an Xbox Series X, as prices for such commodities have skyrocketed last year.

I'll also explain how PC gaming was killed by subpar ports, cryptocurrency mining (and it's hardcore advocates), NFTs, scalpers, and people deciding to get next-gen consoles over building a PC.
