Mk23simp, do games w 'I want to acknowledge that we messed up': NZXT addresses concerns about its controversial Flex gaming PC rental program and commits to taking action

NZXT Flex customers have never experienced a pre-tax subscription price increase and will never experience one unless they decide to switch subscription tiers.

I think they’re forgetting the part where GN themselves were a NZXT flex customer who experienced subscription price increases. So this statement is already proven to be false before they even said it.

I don’t really buy youtuber merch, but I bought a couple things from GN after their investigative work with the latest Asus warranty debacle. Excellent channel and Steve and crew deserve all the support they can get.

I looked at ordering a soldering mat to support them, but couldn’t justify $50 when aliexpress was selling them for $3.

JTskulk,

AliExpress will somehow find a way to ship you a mat that doesn’t work after waiting 2 months for it to arrive.

Biodegradable silicone would be kinda cool.

That said, the 2 months wait and uncertainty of products seems to be a thing of the past (based on the things I purchase, not like I’m ordering skinny jeans), as most stuff arrives in 2 weeks and hasn’t made it to the trash.

Though Canada Post being on strike is likely to bugger that up.

[Edit] I stand corrected - AliExpress packages just came through, ordered 10 days ago.

keyez,

I have both sets of the coasters on the GN store, the rubber ones and they’re the best coasters I’ve had since they’re flexible and washablez highly recommend them

NZXT has posted a statement which not only misrepresents facts, but distorts the reality of their predatory rental computer program. The statement ignores major points and introduces several new concerns. GamersNexus has become aware of deeper elements connected to this story that GN has begun independently investigating. While we will put together coverage of NZXT’s inadequate and manipulative response in short order, we are also actively beginning work on a longer form investigation that could take weeks or months to finalize, depending on the depth of the rabbit hole. We will have more for you as it becomes available, starting with a deconstruction of NZXT’s statement.

Never buying from NZXT ever again. Trust completely and utterly gone.

Nah, fuck them. They thought they could get away with this predatory debt-trap system that was marketed at children and they are clearly salty that they got caught. Not to mention the whole idea of not even owning your own PC or the data within which would set a bad precedent for everyone everywhere.

There are so many competitors in the industry NZXT operates in; it would be very easy to avoid ever buying their stuff again. And I intend to do just that. Get bankrupted, you pieces of shit.

All this proves is that we need to keep on supporting Gamers Nexus because that shit is working! 💪

Bought a T-Shirt and 2 dice sets directly after watching the NZXT video 😇

stardust,

He is taking on the noble fight for consumers. Exposing them for the crooks they are.

MutilationWave,

I had heard of it but I don’t really watch YouTube. I watched that whole video and what a shitshow. I went straight to my wife and said we have to watch out that the kids don’t get caught up in this.

We give an allowance to our young niece and nephew, who both game on PC sometimes, and it seems like this is exactly the kind of shit that would entice our nephew. He has my old PC and it’s really showing its age.

This apology is bullshit.

Definitely had to pick this up. Perfect excuse to add another game to my list of games to play :)

KingThrillgore, do games w Critical Role's plans to make a videogame have become an 'active pursuit', says CEO Travis Willingham, after almost 10 years of growing a D&D campaign into a full-on franchise

I’m worried they aren’t skilled enough to do it, they just want that sweet BG3 money.

Maalus,

They literally have been connected to video games development their entire career. They are voice actors. They do that shit all the time.

I’m interested but not especially optimistic. Depends on who is actually making the game, I believe they know tabletop games well, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to a CRPG.

Random aside, the article says Marisha Ray voiced Jaina Proudmoore, but it was really Laura Bailey.

A great D&D video game just came out recently, and will be the biggest player for a while. How do they plan to outshine BG3?

CookieOfFortune,

Are they projecting a release in like two years? Could be viable.

caseofthematts,

It’s an “active pursuit” which sounds like they have nothing yet. So I doubt it will even be 2 years.

CookieOfFortune,

Yeah it sounds like the success of BG3 probably spurred this endeavor. I was giving it two years to be optimistic but yeah most likely longer.

Valencia,

Do they need to outshine bg3? Releasing a crpg based on their characters and world I’m sure would do well enough with their audience. I’m imagining just pillars of eternity 2 with a critical role skin.

deadcream,

Any RPG will be compared to BG3.
