You can still buy and use Nvidia GPUs to play games. That was the case during the crypto boom, the AI boom, and now the RAM shortage too.
It's also hard to blame Nvidia for the pivot, from where I'm standing. Their proprietary middleware like PhysX, DLSS and RTX has been memed to death by PC gamers, while high-margin edge and datacenter customers are chomping at the bit for CUDA compute. Nvidia's raster stack is more-or-less complete, the things that PC gamers are asking from them are not realistic or fairly priced at this moment in time.
