Okay well that's the low-hanging fruit but explain to me the correlation? How does confusing their customers fuel their greed?

Uninformed buyers will buy the 8GB card get a poor experience and will be forced to buy a new card sooner than later.

So their strategy is making and selling shitty cards at high prices? Don't you think that would just make consumers consider a competing brand in the future?

Yea I don't know why buying a shitty product should convince me to throw more money at the company. They don't have a monopoly, so I would just go to their competitor instead.
