Here we go again: whenever the companies deem the time to raise prices has come, there is a fire in their "plants", or a flood, or an earthquake, or tsunami, or origami, or corona, or Ramona, oh porca madonna...

"No injuries were caused and the production line was not affected."

Despite that, if i were MSI i would take the train and rise the price... it have worked with Intel, AMD and NVidia in the past...
We already have "Covid logistic impact" "so called "Trump tax" that Biden find very nice for now" etc etc etc... A fire is a good reason to rise price if you need money lol.
