So, looks like NZXT are looking to rip off gamers with their computer “subscription” service.

    tl;dw A debt trap that’s such a bad deal that you’d be better off financing it with a payday loan. They lie about their terms and their PC specs. They advertise no contracts but absolutely have contracts, and the terms are awful.

      And they are using paid influencers to promote said debt trap to those that don’t know any better, particularly children.

      Probably the most insidious part of this to me. Seeing those clips of “influencers” pushing the idea of convincing your parents to get you a rental PC. Disgusting.

    Is this the first time Steve has said an uncensored fuck?

    Its at least rare enough that it stood out enough for me to pause the video and go back to hear it again to confirm.

    Well shit, wish they’d posted it before black Friday. It was only an AIO.

    Edit: Cancelled. It was the wrong size, anyway. Sad I’m not gonna have a small LCD on the right one, though. NZXT was by far the cheapest in that respect.

      Same boat - just ordered an AIO directly from them and see the “we’re building your pc” emails. Hoping there’s not shenanigans with this.
