>It feels like when you learn that Ticketmaster also owns most of the scalping services and your chance of getting a good ticket is zero unless you're willing to go to the scalpers.

If anything, this situation is better than Ticketmaster's, because at least the producers are getting the money. With Ticketmaster, they're pocketing all the money and the performers are getting nothing. If Intel isn't binning these, a third party (probably someone affiliated with an OEM) would be doing this and pocketing the difference.

>Basically the good stuff is reserved for the rich because they are rich.

Are you also upset that you can't get luxury goods for cheap because they're "reserved" for the rich?
