True.. a company isint going to loose money making a product. They are not going to make 100 blocks for a 100 cards when they know not everyone will buy it. Business stays in business making a profit. That's the way it is.
No other company will take up the slack making a block for a card when they dont have an idea how many people will buy it.. unless its china where they can make stuff super cheap cause of super low overhead costs.
I was well aware of this fact from the last 1080ti model and made sure to snag a block asap.
So if you know your going to buy a kingpin in the future and atm you cant afford the card and your going to buy it later on.. safe bet to buy the block asap if your going to need it.
If you end up not buying a kingpin.. no problem making a profit off selling off the block.
