!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

This is pretty standard though, I worked in computer repairs and warranties for a long time. No one covers water damage unless you pay extra for it. Water resistant does not mean water proof, and it gets wet it's still like any other electronic

The complaint is that the units are arriving out of the box with water damage already. Did you read the article?

I did, it says historically, we don't have that confirmed right now. Yes, it might be happening, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions. There are a few reports, it isn't a scandal. (yet)

If it gets confirmed, we could call this scandal Watergate.

Yeah it's definitely not proven, but the allegation is not 'business as usual', which your comment made it sound like.
