Is anyone else is fed up with tying video card purchases to other hardware purchases as much as I am? The tied products do have a complimentary function, but they are also widely available and there's a competitive market for them (e.g. motherboards, power supplies, etc.). I'm sure there are more bad actors, but Newegg and their lottery system are purposefully skirting the law IMO. Also, recently I was at Micro Center in Overland Park, KS, and they had 3070 video cards in stock, but you couldn't purchase one without purchasing components for a full computer as well. At worst these types of practices are illegal and at best they are certainly anti-consumer.
IANAL, but am I wrong about tying of purchases in this manner being illegal? What are your thoughts?
