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.

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

I recently purchased an ASUS Prime B650 motherboard for my new setup (primarily due to budget considerations). While it initially handled everything well, including VR, I've encountered persistent errors regarding the USB controller being overloaded within the past month. This occurs when launching VR and has now extended to my headphones.
I've confirmed that all drivers are correctly installed and even performed a fresh Windows installation, but still getting the same error. I messed around in the BIOS, disabled, enabled certain settings; to no avail. I did a bit of research, and as it turns out, seems to be a common issue.
Ironically, I upgraded because my previous ASUS ROG STRIX X570 motherboard damaged one of my RAM modules. Given these consecutive hardware issues, I would likely have considered a different brand. Kind of crap luck, isn't it?

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?

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