Did you know that much of the gaming community is boycotting Asus? In fact, even many large YouTubers who have an extensive history with Asus have turned on the company. Why, you ask? Well, one of the main reasons that Asus rose to fame was because of their high-quality hardware. This is what led to their famous sub-brand ROG or Republic Of Gamers which many enthusiasts swear by. But, more recently, it seems that Asus is falling short on the quality aspect and just using ROG as a marketing play. This was first noticed in their budget hardware which was noticeably less reliable than what Asus was known for. The nail in the coffin though was when Asus’ negligence started rubbing onto their enthusiast hardware as well. They pushed out a bios update that fried people’s computers and they refused to take responsibility. This video explains why consumers are boycotting Asus and the future of the once-beloved brand.
