Lmao wat. How the fuck does a company making gaming peripherals rack up a $70 million dollar debt? Pretty rough though, the CEO who ran it for 25 years got stood down over it so maybe he got complacent.
Fanatec is basically sponsoring a million different things, so that’s probably part of it. There’s only so many F1 fans you can sell a steering wheel to.
It’s easy. You cut down the quality of your products rapidly and start being recommended against by the people that used to buy your products.
Corsair used to be good. I enjoyed their products. However, their quality has plummeted over the past few years, and their iCue software is absolutely terrible. It will routinely crash, and completely lock up my keyboard and mouse.
I’ve used a couple of their cases recently (4000 and 5000 series) and was pretty happy with them, they’re high quality and nice to build with. That said, iCue is trash, I just couldn’t care less about RGB.
First, you don’t need to say dollar if you use the dollar sign before the number. Second, it was euros, not dollars.
Imagine being this miserable you need to correct people over this
I correct people because I would want to be corrected, not because I am miserable.
Great, neither answer the actual question I asked in jest. I appreciate the correction though, however unnecessarily curt it may be.
Curt? Would you have preferred I elaborated more? I feel like that would have been more condescending. I did not answer your question because I did not have an answer for it.
Given your other reply I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re being genuine. Curt, rudely brief, emphasis on the rude. There are only a multitude of ways to correct someone politely; especially if the correction changes practically nothing about the original comment. An easy example is “hey just so you know…etc”.
Also, I think if you’re going to reply with a correction an attempt should ideally be made to actually engage the comment rather than just driving by with a list of corrections. Also, a personal preference, avoid the list. You’re not my employer or my lecturer and those are one of the few people I’m enthusiastic to receive an unsolicited list of corrections from. Tone doesn’t travel great over text so it did come off a bit catty. Certainly wasn’t the worst I’ve been spoken to on the internet so it’s whatever.
I’ve been told I speak to strangers in a very matter of fact kind of way. I don’t think it has anything to do with text.
That could be it but text certainly doesn’t help, since it’s difficult to convey and interpret tone. It’s a widely acknowledged issue with text based communication. I think the correction plus the to the point structure of the correction might have been it. Even just prepending a padding statements like FWIW are the social lubricant needed to ease the tone into friendly/neutral territory. That’s just my opinion, if that communication style works for you that’s fine too.
Sim racers are among the most enthusiastic of all gamers, often spending thousands of dollars on equipment on top of thousands more on PCs and monitors.
There’s the flight sim crowd.
googles
These guys are selling a six gauge “starter pack” for about 1500 euros. I imagine that one wants at least the basic controls too.
Looks like 845 euros for the pedals, 500 euros for the yoke, and 230 for the throttle. It also looks like the throttle doesn’t come with the throttle controller, so that’s another 150 euros.
I almost bought myself a SCUF controller until I realized it’s all run through iCue. Even if they made the best hardware, the experience will suffer until they get some decent software.
When they first released their keyboards the equivalent to iCue was fine. Now it’s actually adversarial.
Oh man I gotta buy a racing wheel before Corsair gets their hands on it.
Corsair can’t even make reliable ram. This is likely to go poorly
I’ve been overclocking Corsair ram for over a decade. I think if there was any complaint it’s that they’re way overpriced.
I also used it for half a decade and had 4/6 sticks of RAM fail. When I contacted support, I had tor request a manager escalation to get past the engineer who insisted it was a problem with my windows installation. I run Linux and tested it with memtest86+.
Corsair makes bad products. Your brand loyalty is embarrassing.
I have only been buying Corsair ram for over a decade. I overclock both on the desktop and my laptops.
Never had a problem. Bulletproof.
