The companies that want to sell as much as they can at the highest prices they can put out a statement. The statement specifically claims "the worst is coming next year" so companies will buy it now (as opposed to shutting up and selling for even more in 2027) as well as "will last longer than you can wait" to compel fencesitters to invest now rather than try and get past it.
Everyone immediately believes this with no questions and does exactly what the record-breaking profit companies want.

Grim outlook. Like the CEO isnt cheering it on. Or the company would say anything less. its all about max profits, and telling everyone there will be a worse shortage means more rush to buy and more investors buy their stock. As long as data centers drives demand it will never end. Why sale cheap consumer ram when you can sell much higher profit ram to companies for their data centers.

I work alongside a lot of these companies and it's not going to be a matter of prices being too high. It's going to be a matter of stock just not existing. We've forecasted an insane amount of orders we need to fill.

yeah the same exact HD's I bought 9 months ago for $300 from serverpartdeals is currently selling for $750 from them. 26TB refurbished 7200 rpm SATA drives. 250% price jump in 9 months for refurb drives, not even new. New is like twice the price.
its insane, a lot fewer people I have to imagine are buying PC parts now and I just have to wonder how much of future audiences they are absolutely destroying. most kids aren't gonna be building their own gaming PCs for a while, wonder what cheap vices they will pick up instead

A good portion of the AI bubble is invested into data center/power/infrastructure. Cheap compute will nuke a lot of money from the market.
Related news to memory, price fixing lawsuit has been filed
This marks the 3rd memory lawsuit in 20 years . Typically SK Hynix and Samsung settle.
The fact is the fines are so small compared to the profits. In the meantime you'll keep getting fucked, same as 2000

What obligation do they have to 1) increase capacity and 2) make consumer DDR4/5? Companies don't need to collude and conspire when the answer to the question is to make the product(s) that sell for the most money.

It would be basic self-interest to not abandon the market of personal computing. If you do you are ceding a large market to your future competition. What's going on has a very "end of history pull up the ladder behind you kill the golden goose for all the eggs now" flavor to it.
