    Well technically yes it will works as long as peoples on internet doesn’t have multiple ID or bunch hired person to do it.
    Scalpers doesn’t exist if we not create situation that demanding something at extreme level like some people ready to sell it soul for something weird. We learn this when COVID19 still a thing, everyone hoarding hand sanitizer, mask, & toilet papers like bunch of monkeys because PANIC.
    The real questions why people panic buy a GPU like there’s no other day to get it ? Are they just follow hypetrain or something ? and why GPU corporation make scarce of their product that will sell so well ?
    CMIIW i believe consumer GPU never been so scarce before 2018 ish

      Thing is even if people are in queue with the intention of scalping with multiple IDs or whatever the nice part of a queue system is that all you have to do is wait for your queue to come up.

      When I put in my queue for evga and steam deck I just forgot about it until my time came up months later. Didn’t have to keep refreshing or wait in line or care about stock.

      That’s the beauty of queue for people who care less about getting it immediately but that they can guarantee themselves one without having to actively search the product out.
