I hate them but I hate Amazon more and about the same as Walmart. The list of companies to boycott is so long now.

I think Newegg is pretty much staying out of politics. They have a lot of stuff they're selling now too.

Didn't they get bought by China years ago? Like 2012?

"In 2016, Liaison Interactive, a Chinese technology company, acquired a majority stake in Newegg in an investment deal."

Some time ago their CEO (Lee Cheng) was embroiled in a lawsuit and took a pretty based stance. I do not remember the specifics but he was standing up for principles and going against the mob narrative. I got the sense he was Conservative.

That was very old news though, things could be different now.

PC gamers have always been kind of right wing or at least against political correctness from what I noticed. At least before streaminf picked up and got more normies involved. Probably don't wanna alienate their base.

That's because gaming requires you to call people "faggots", and the left thinks saying this is domestic terrorism

their inability to accept tht the new consoles tht has better specs than 90℅ of steamhw survey hv destroyed the price/perf of pcgaming completely(frankly I think shitcpu aside xbonex already did tht but now it's not even debateable anymore) is laughable

Most of the "worship" of Lord Gaben is just a meme at this point.

The complaint wasn't that the new consoles were higher than 90% of the steam survey, the complaint was how that was portrayed in gaming media. The steam survey includes ANY computer with steam installed (even if it can't play anything newer than rome total war), but it was being portrayed as if this meant that the consoles were a better option than a serious gaming PC.

I hadn't used newegg in nearly a decade after my last big build, randomly went on there last year and was blown away by how much other stuff they sell now.

If this site serves as anything, let it be a reminder that buying American, as much as I love to do it, is REALLY fucking expensive and inconvenient.

Awesome site. I’m not seeing too much on there that’s too expensive and inconvenient. North American and EU made tends to be of higher quality too, so long term the costs even out.

Right! Like I need to just see the “safe” list . Especially now that I am done with Amazon
