I gotta agree with you, because the people who are currently suing memory makers seem to be names I’ve never heard of, maybe they are trying to cut some money for personal profit. But even Valve was frustrated with the way how they are unable to negotiate the prices, it's like only a few companies can (like OAI, Anthropic, SpaceX, etc.), basically the ones who are currently "in control" of stock market prices.
It makes me think of when Epic Games sued Apple: at some point, there could be more "smaller" companies like Valve that would be frustrated with the situation enough to do something about it. Maybe we should boycott the use of AI (unlikely), maybe we should boycott buying next gen consoles (more likely), etc. We can do something about it if we, as a society, become more conscious about the situation, even though conscious consumerism sounds overly optimistic.
