    Probably because it just does not make too much sense right now. I would expect the landscape to shift again soon enough. Maybe they were scraping by for a while and just couldn’t carry on. There are many plausible explanations and ram is a commodity market hence very cutthroat.

      Read the article & comments. Seems like they were already kinda heading in that direction anyway, but I doubt it was due to just scraping by so much as the ever-present “maximizing profits” business mandate.

        Maximizing profits by increasing price does not work in commodity markets unless you are forming a cartel or monopoly. If your goods are fungible you don’t have customer loyalty.
