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

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.

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.

'I want to acknowledge that we ~~messed up~~ got caught'

Here at NZXT, we strive to deliver the best products and services to customers, but sometimes, we don't fulfill that desire.

Sure, we spent thousands upon thousands of man hours intentionally designing a pc rental service to rent out falsely advertised, subpar pcs, at stupendously high cost to you, our loyal customers...

And sure, we're only issuing this statement because we got caught, and even while apologizing, we are heavily qualifying our actions and emphasizing things we think we so well...

But what is most important is that we want you to know:

"we didn't think that there would be coverage like this"

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.

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.

Steve from Gamer's Nexus is a hero. Full respect for that guy.

Oh, I don't think they messed up at all. I think it was intentional and calculated. Business decisions don't just materialize out of happenstance, they are written, proposed, and approved by multiple people. They came up with and implemented the pricing and the bait-and-switching of components. Their lawyers wrote, reviewed, and approved the contract. Their public relations personnel came up with the untrue statements that should be said in sponsored videos. And now that the shift has left the ass, the CEO wants to pretend it was all a mistake? Fuck off.

Renting a gaming PC seems dumb as fuck.

Nah, I think this should tank them as a company. Once a scammer, always a scammer.

Back to you, Steve.

Throw the entire company in the trash immediately. Lmfao

That's an understandable take, I hope that when he drags himself out of the ashes of his failed company, dusts himself off, and starts a new company when his bankruptcy ban expires, it's a scooch more ethical to start with.

Too late.

What a shame, they have the best looking cases imo.

Well anyone knows of a company that I can replace them with?

This should have been stated day one.

It's still hollow until they actually do something, but it's the least they should have done.

Seems legit
