I am guessing you purely stick to the mobile-phone/corpo-laptop crowd then ? Finding PC enthusiasts should not be that difficult. They are legions of them all over the world - not just in the developed nations.

Even normal folks upgrade RAM. My aunt did so last year for her old desktop PC. PC components are available in the local computer hardware market of any nation. (Though admittedly, most people buy parts online nowadays and local hardware markets are shutting down)

No. I'm a PC enthusiast myself, as are most of those people I know. I run an online (PC) gaming community.

Literally what I was saying.

Then I misunderstood what you were saying. PC community has actually increased over last few years as people have become dissatisfied with the big-2 consoles.

I was questioning the assertion that a vast majority of gamers buy their components from physical stores as opposed to ordering online.

Yes, this is the sad trend excepting for some markets that circumvent paying tax or the markets in the manufacturing cities.
