On: Notice of Stolen EVGA GeForce RTX 30-Series Graphi...

I call this a dick move on EVGA's side, mainly harming consumers. I'm pretty certain they have insurance for incidents of this kind (theft), limiting the financial impact for them.

I disagree. Theft like this doesn’t benefit anyone other than thieves. They should be doing everything in their power to recover the cards and ensure the thieves are caught.

I don’t want to buy stolen goods from a thief.

To be clear: I do not support theft and law enforcement must follow up on the offenders, recover what's left and seize the assets. But I just think a lot of people won't receive the message about these stolen cards and will be left with a rather shitty situation.

That's the risk taken with buying second-hand goods. Whether that's a graphics card or, in a case I'm very used to, bicycle parts.

Make sure you see a receipt before buying an EVGA graphics card for the time being, I guess.

They're legally not the consumers' cards, they still belong to EVGA.

It doesn't matter if they have insurance. Someone has to pay for it which ends up being a tax on everyone.
