    Think of it like a race:

    Whoever is last is considered lagging behind as consumers will generally shift towards the best competitors.

    If Corsair is actually doing right by consumers (especially when it could be a real monopoly like the current anime and manga industry) and raises the minimum bar then we should praise them.

    If a person is doing right by others, shaming and attacking them defeats the purpose of trying to make society more ethical.

      ASUS was already lagging behind, and had been for years. Their lack of anything approaching an adequate response (basically not giving a single fuck) to the numerous issues Gamers Nexus has reported on multiple times these last couple years across multiple separate divisions, shows a complete disregard for their consumers.

      ASUS is not unique, there are numerous other options with similar or better quality, and often at better prices. They are not a monopoly, or even close to it. They really only had brand loyalty, which they decided to nuke completely. They can go out of business and the industry would be perfectly fine.
