Plot twist:

Amazon's game was just a Trojan designed to sell more graphics cards on Amazon.com

New title: EVGA promises to replace their busted 3090s.

Amazon is incidental to this mess. The gpus were not bricked by Amazon's game.

I don't think it was on purpose to kill these GPUs. We are talking about Amazon, not just a generic company that will scam some people to make some quick cash, they don't even need these money
