    Translation: Fuck! you caught us. We are currently in PR disaster recovery mode and trying to figure out how to spin this to not look like complete scum bags. Rest assured, we are committed to trying to find some escape goat to throw under the bus and minimizing the damage to our reputation.

      No, the marketing may be responsible for the images and phrasing on the site and the exact talking points sent to influencers… But the program is structured to be exploitative by design, that’s executive decisions.

    That’s a shame, I bought a nzxt computer in 2018 because it was slightly cheaper than building it part for part. Mainly due to the gfx card being way cheaper than I could get it. The crypto boom was driving gfx card prices through the roof at that time. Still runs like a champ and I love my nzxt case. Major bummer they are doing shady shit now.
