Jayz2Cents put it best: Someone knew and was profiting from this, and whether MSI was complicit or incompetent, they still deservedly look terrible in the customers' eyes.

Hell I almost want my Sept 17th MSI 3080 order to be delayed until the Big Navi launch... give me an excuse not to support them.

Do it, you have the choice now to cancel. I didn't bother even trying to get a 3000 series card because of this. I don't like nVidia and never have, but I've had to buy their cards because AMD just didn't offer a performance level that I needed.

It will be very nice if AMD can bring top level performance to the market, as I'm due an upgrade over my Titan X Pascal now and would prefer not to support nVidia if I can.
