It's not even only that: crypto mining went from every card the miners could find to literally zero almost overnight. The spike was, honestly, more driven by crypto than gaming during the super-high sales in 2020/21 and then immediately vanished.
Of course, nVidia ALSO alienated the heck out of a lot of potential buyers who are sitting on the sidelines because they're not paying the inflated prices caused by that spike, so the crypto guys are gone, and the gamers are waiting.
