  • They are rebranding lesser quality components with the higher quality ROG brand, and pricing it as such

Meaning you could sue them as fraudulent?

No. The ROG brand is ASUS's brand in the first place.

Like, anyone could be like "this is my normal quiche, and this one here is my MuMu quiche."

Then, once everybody's buying MuMu, start using the normal recipe for MuMu. It's not illegal, but at first people think they just got an Ok MuMu, then they start realizing it just sucks now. Hard for the company to recover from that.

But voiding and not honoring warranties?

Yeah.

That’s when you introduce the PuPu quiche that uses the original MuMu recipe and start the process all over.

Yeah. Companies like that are bridges I burn and never look back to.
