Why Millions Of Gamers Are Boycotting Asus

Did you know that much of the gaming community is boycotting Asus? In fact, even many large YouTubers who have an extensive history with Asus have turned on the company. Why, you ask? Well, one of the main reasons that Asus rose to fame was because of their high-quality hardware. This is what led to their famous sub-brand ROG or Republic Of Gamers which many enthusiasts swear by. But, more recently, it seems that Asus is falling short on the quality aspect and just using ROG as a marketing play. This was first noticed in their budget hardware which was noticeably less reliable than what Asus was known for. The nail in the coffin though was when Asus’ negligence started rubbing onto their enthusiast hardware as well. They pushed out a bios update that fried people’s computers and they refused to take responsibility. This video explains why consumers are boycotting Asus and the future of the once-beloved brand.

It takes a lifetime to build trust and a few seconds to destroy it... No matter how big the company is.

ASUS for me had the worst customer service when something went bad and was still under warranty. The place you buy it would not honor a refund and your only option is manufacturer.

Nah. I stopped overclocking many many years ago when I decided my time and reliability of my PC was more important than a benchmark or even the greatest slaving game…

Who are these "millions" of gamers again? Just because Nexus and Jay's videos have millions of views, it doesn't mean anything. No one's boycotting ASUS, their sales doesn't show it, their stock price is not showing it, infact, 99% of gamers either don't care or don't even know that these issues exist. No one even buys ROG products to overclock them, the majority of gamers just bought into the brand. Less than 2% of PC users overclock their systems. I know you need views, but this video is too long of a stretch.

The video is good, but the thumbnail feels misleading because it implies that Asus has dropped by over 50%, but as far as I can tell (maybe I’m wrong?), there isn’t a metric cited that aligns with what the thumbnail is implying.

i had a ASUS tuf laptop , the motherboard died just one month after the expiry of the warranty. so it lasted 1 year and 1 month. the ASUS customer service quoted me a price that was 65% of the original price. Never buying ASUS gaming laptop again.

Gamer's Nexus have rightfully earned A LOT of respect from the gaming/PC-hardware communities over the years. If they tell me not to buy from a specific company, I have no problem complying first and asking questions later.

10:53 speaking of anti consumer practices with their phones Asus pulled the ability to unlock the bootloader of their phones last year. This wouldn't be horrible if they gave 7 years of updates like Samsung or Google but they only give you 2 years of updates which effectively makes your phone useless after 2 years

This is honestly the first time I heard "gamers" boycotting ASUS. Is there even a forum calling for the boycott?

Putting the "SUS" in ASUS.

Asus also had a huge security flaw they knew about on their routers that put the people that owned that routers network under threat.

I just recently purchased the rog phone 8. And I have a Pro Art motherboard in my desktop. I was unaware of their anti consumer practices. But I was also unaware that they were considered premium products.

I think ASUS really let their reputation get over their heads. It used to be that people, including myself, bought ASUS because of their reputation be being built much better, and more importantly, had a BIOS that wasn't absolutely infuriating to use. Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, every time I was asked by family to build a computer, it would be the similar combination of Intel/ASUS/Nvidia simply because I could trust that the computer wouldn't end up having any teething issues the moment I handed it off. It took all the other vendors years before they caught up on their BIOS UI, but they eventually did and that meant that ASUS could only compete on the quality of their engineering if they wanted to command the same premium price. At this point however, even if they aren't willing to stand behind their products, even the quality of their products is garbage, the reality is that the products they produce are not unique; I can very easily move to another vendor. ASUS has no 'moats' around their products, they have no ecosystem that anybody is locked into, they have literally nothing that stops any consumer from jumping to another vendor. So that's exactly what I have done for the last few years, and will continue doing so into the future until further notice: this isn't me boycotting them, if ASUS is going to produce an inferior product for a higher price point than their competitors, why would any sane person even take their products into consideration?

I have a ROG monitor, top of the line, and came with blocked pixel and very very small piece of dust behind the panel. Luckily I fixed the blocked pixel myself, oldschool, by putting pressure with my fingers on the panel and magically solved the issue. Obviously their Quality Control is bad lately. I owned asus products for almost 20 years, mainly motherboards and never had an issue.

I’m not boycotting them, but I did cancel my PG32UCDM order in favor of the AW3225Qf, my motherboard and GPU are both ROG.

15 years ago and earlier I used to swear by Asus for motherboards and other components. Nowadays I avoid them like the plague. They went downhill in record time.

Having built computers for 20 years I don't think I've seen a fiasco as big as the AM5 motherboard barbecue BIOS. With that being said, keeping any manufacturer accountable in this industry is a constant battle. Computers are mindblowingly complex devices and things go wrong all the time on the manufacturer side, but if companies like Asus and MSI don't take immediate responsibility and implement measures in a timely manner there will be trust lost with the consumer.

My dad works on a big graphics design company and he needs a beefy pc to work. I remember him during the pandemic screaming because the connectors on his Asus gpu caught on fire (no kidding) and he lost the thing he was working on. We never got refunded, but he was able to work on an older graphics card until he bought a new one a month later
