SUPPORT INDEPENDENT REPORTING: Use code "PUCKGAMERSNEXUS" for 10% off while it lasts, AND we will donate $5 PER ORDER to Archive.org through this weekend. Visit our store: https://store.gamersnexus.net/ - our fight against anti-consumer behavior is directly supported by audience support. We need your continued support to make these time-intensive, resource-intensive investigative videos featuring experts. Grab one of our project & soldering mats, our e-waste inductor dice and Snowflake the cat dice sets, PC building mats, and more. This video dives into NZXT's response to our deep-dive investigation of what we think is a predatory, evil scam for rental computers. NZXT's "Flex" subscription computer program is untenable not just in cost, but in additional requirements. Further, its advertising is now admitted as being incorrect by NZXT itself. We respond to the company's statement, which it took several days to write, calling consumers "confused."
