This video kind of misses the mark on delivering the points of the title, but these are the simplest boiled down points of the community gripes:
Gigabyte (remember them?) did this same slow slide of enshittification about 10 years ago. The issue pretty much boils down to a company producing too many different types of things, instead of staying good at the things they do well, and the community has noticed and is calling for boycotts. This will no doubt put them on the defensive for years to come, and affect their overall standing in the larger community until they correct course.
Meaning you could sue them as fraudulent?
No. The ROG brand is ASUS's brand in the first place.
Like, anyone could be like "this is my normal quiche, and this one here is my MuMu quiche."
Then, once everybody's buying MuMu, start using the normal recipe for MuMu. It's not illegal, but at first people think they just got an Ok MuMu, then they start realizing it just sucks now. Hard for the company to recover from that.
But voiding and not honoring warranties?
Yeah.
That’s when you introduce the PuPu quiche that uses the original MuMu recipe and start the process all over.
Yeah. Companies like that are bridges I burn and never look back to.
But there's a great sale on the new DuDu series right now! Come back in...
