Dunno whats up with that.
I will be watching LTT closely regarding this, he hasn't uploaded any videos about this as far as I know.
he might find himself on the wrong end of a lawsuit if that was the case - you can't do stuff like that just because your contract wasn't renewed. It really throws a bit of doubt on his claim of firing them because of product performance when it might be just a bit of sour grapes on his part because his contract wasn't renewed.
Probably not the first influencer to overestimate their influence...
and personally I've always used gigabyte with no real issues in the last 10 years or so... But I don't do that many builds TBH.
Ive found gigabyte pretty good alternative to ASUS too, although I used to see alot of failures with the gigabyte boards we used in the machines we built at the company i worked for, but that was in the early 2000's. I dont care much for the other brands such as MSI, however even brands such as ASRock which were originally a cheap low quality board are actually putting out some pretty impressive stuff these days.
There actually needs to be more competition in the field, we used to have a ton of motherboard manufacturers back in the day and now we are only really left with about 3 or 4.
