I have an old NZXT case I’m still using. I recently have been thinking about a new case. It definitely won’t be NZXT even though I’ve enjoyed the one I have.
Yeah I’ve waited 2 GPU generations before upgrading my GPU, which was several years. So this whole I can’t wait I need it now subscription model for hardware is just bizzare to me.
Not sure such models can be fair and reliable. I guess an alternative would be an installment plan, where you at least own the computer when you paid it off. Not sure if it exists for PCs but I know sometimes there’s 0% plans for electronics so you would not even pay extra, besides what stores add anyway for prebuilt computers. I’d still recommend saving up and building your own or use a build service for individual components, since that tends to usually be cheaper and you have more control over what you get, since a lot of prebuilt PCs have odd components.
What would you like to see differently?
I have no NZXT products but I’m wary recommending them now, depending on the use case.
Does anyone know any alternatives for people with an active subscription?

Put the same amount of money they were paying towards renting a PC into a savings account each month and then buy a PC outright in a few months.

I did not find it to be genuine at all but here are my highlights:
To me it comes off as “I’m sorry we got exposed” rather than being actually sorry for ripping impressionable and desperate gamers off.
Alternative, just like gamers Nexus said, contact a loan shark is a better alternative.
Realistically, any other boutique seller offering financing would be infinitely better.
