Yeah I'll be sticking with my Steam Deck lol, this thing is damn near perfect. Asus has been pulling some shitty stuff with their PC components too lately, so that makes me a lot less likely to even consider them as a company. Back in the day they were one of my go-to brands, not so much now though.

Man, same. I used to only consider Asus motherboards when I built a PC because I'd had such good experiences with them.

I had an ex girlfriend who owned one of their laptops, which was a nice machine. I owned their 7" Nexus Android tablet. I'm sure I owned other stuff as well.

Now that word has gotten around that they're voiding warranties over bogus reasons, I definitely won't be giving them anymore business. That is really disappointing though.

@FartsWithAnAccent @ylai @Veraxus Asus has been enshitifying for a couple of years now. I used to get their ROG phones year after year, until they sent me the last one without the Kunai cover (I bought the phone with the controller) and when I reached out to them they wanted me to send the whole thing back, phone and all, to determine if they would send it back with the cover to me. Beyond ridiculous. Returned it, got a refund, never looked back.

It's a shame, I've heard so many stories like yours.

@FartsWithAnAccent @ylai @Veraxus yeah. Them and Netgear are 2 companies I used to love and now I wouldn't use their products if they paid me to use them.
