Has NZXT always been this shady? I bought a PC from them like 5 years ago and it's been going strong since the start. I'm sure as hell never buying one again, that's for sure.
They used to have a good reputation, at least a few years ago. Their stuff was a decent value. I don't know what it's like now, but it seems more like terrible business practices rather than poor quality products are the issue.
Yup, and Steve said as much in the original video. They said they'll continue to review NZXT products because they're generally pretty good (except the RGB fan thing that caught on fire), but they refuse to accept sponsorship money because they don't want to be associated with them.
This is the second major issue from them, and the way they handled it is exactly the same: deny the problem until they're forced to, and then do the bare minimum to fix it.
