Not too happy about the Verified Actual Gamer Program

They should have just made them available to Float Plane subscribers who already had accounts.

 

I wanted one but I work most of the day and can’t watch the videos as soon as they drop.

 

Also, I only play one game so would I have even been able to answer the questions?

They can't. That runs afoul of lottery/gambling laws. They can't give pay-for-play preferential treatment.

Again, I am not a gamer.  Nor am I especially lucky at randomly picking right answers. I'll just have to write a bot for that I guess  

 

I'd consider myself a gamer and I only know like 10% of the answers. They are pretty tough. That is a good thing though right? Not many people are likely to just sail through  without googling a few things. Levels the playing field and makes it more bot proof.

 

Can you propose a better system?

 

Also, just addressing one of the initial points you made that these cards could be sold through normal routes...

 

This is a tiny fraction of global supply. 

 

Even then, if these went to normal routes at the moment they would A) be snapped up by bots, or B) Incorporated into prebuilt systems and sold as part of a bundle. 

 

You can still get pre-built systems with the new gen cards at the moment so, still an option.

This thread really just makes me want LTT to do some kind of 'LTT Viewer Jeopardy' call in quiz game show, so we can see half the viewers hilariously fail.

Ok so if you planned, toiled on the discords, and actually TRIED to get a card, were smart enough early enough, most likely by now you have a card, you probably had a card in january. If you dilly dallied, like MOST PEOPLE, waited for reviews to go out,  again most people, or just in general was left behind , then i mean its sad yes but also those who wait, will suffer. There are a bunch of queues you could get on. Through queues and being aware , I was able to score 2 3090s and sell one at profit (dont worry the profit was like 35 dollars, which is nothing for a 3090). 

Also if you really need a card, then sacrifice your morals. Get your hands on anything, ps5, AMD card, Nvid card whatever is in shortage. Next Sell until you can afford to pay a scalper for your desired product. If you are not willing to adjust and do whatever it takes, then in a shortage like this, you will be left out , its sad.
