AMD (and probably nVidia) have said that they hate how it is hurting gamers and tried doing things like game bundling to make them less attractive to miners. I can't imagine that they are too awfully upset at selling so many more of the higher margin cards, though.

The mining was affecting prices back when I built my PC. Now it is just ridiculous, though.
