What's the context of all this?

Asus has been fucking over Customers in their RMA for years (Personally had it happen to me like 10 years ago).

Steve had them on their Radar a year ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7af_LGtD_jc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJKzKbqxa0A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbGfc-JBxlY

Then waited a year to see if they have changed and low and behold still scummy af: They scammed Gamers Nexus when they did an undercover Repair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pMrssIrKcY

Knowing Asus is run by headless chickens, the inevitable bullshit response comes out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3DwhTc7Z4o and it's victim blaming as you'd expect.

Steve than revealed that Asus is already on the FTCs Radar and talked to a few lawyers on camera explaining just how fucking illegal Asus tactics are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYdtpU8FKO8

And finally, with this Video, he straight up bullied them into giving him an interview with executives to make them finally fix their shit

Ah, thanks! It's been a long time since I've built or bought an Asus machine.
