Why all the hate?

[royalcrown]

strong opinions.  also

apple  is overpriced garbage all around

alienware is hideously overpriced for what you  get

and ea are just assholes

Uh,,,yeah,,,,,that's why the Iphone 6 series is in the top phones as far as performance, because it's garbage. Same reason an Ipad air 2 gets good battery life vs a less efficient surface line with a larger battery (I like the surface too, not hating). Their stuff is overpriced, but not garbage. Alienware yes overpriced and desktop is so so, laptops are better quality construction. EA, well yeah.

1 word: Macbook.

[royalcrown]

EA has killed a lot of game studios, example being Westwood (made Command and Conquer)

 

AMD isn't really hated

 

Razer makes overpriced hardware sometimes (not all of it)

 

Alienware same reason as razer

 

Apple locks a lot of tech up in propriety hardware and is very popular, that makes people who like open-source unhappy.

Don't forget that EA killed off most of the free game servers for BF# and replaced with paid, also they purposely make sure no local lan options on their games like that.

Why all the hate for all these companies a mere mention od their names and they get attacked. Why all the hate?

I get apple and Ea... But many people are heavily influenced and biased for no real good reason when it comes to companies like AMD. In many ways, AMD makes much better processors and graphics cards for the money, and a lot of people don't give them any credit for that. People just think that they have to use an Nvidia card and an Intel CPU because they're more popular. That's just what I see though...

1 word: Macbook.

Another word Imac, can game, pretty quiet, overpriced especially when you add on to the base models. Yes, I agree Macbook pros with discrete run too hot, so I won't own one, too bad because they are nice units except they cook.

expectorate

ɪkˈspɛktəreɪt,ɛk-/

verb

gerund or present participle: expectorating

1. cough or spit out (phlegm) from the throat or lungs.

   "she was expectorating dirty coloured sputum"

nice one, sir.  you have bested me.

EA: They destroy video game series, like Dead Space 3 ( It became action horror kinda like RE6, and they gave the true ending by a paywall which is BS.) Of course rehashed BS like Starwars Battlefront III which is basically a BF4 but with star wars.  Plus in general they seem to not care too shits on what the community thinks and hell they were voted the worst company two times in a row or more.

 

AMD: no one hate AMD persay. What we dislike is how people recommend them over Intel when your in a good 800-600$ budget. If its under 400$ then AMD is pretty good with CPU's and APU's for cheap gaming. Their GPU's are doing quite nicely.

 

Razer: Not sure but am pretty sure because they have crazy expensive mouses and keyboards and other stuff.

 

Alienware: People think they're getting a good deal but they aren't at all, they ask for outrageous prices for components and parts that you can build for cheaper and better with the amount of money you would pay for the darn thing. However their laptops aren't half bad for the price. 

 

Apple: Basically everyone thinking apple is a god.  They are overpriced and outragous specs that are weaker for the price point and other phones offered more features then Iphones, like water resistance, larger battery life, better camera and generally better and easier modification with other phones compared to the Iphone.  

Apple does not bother me because of their products, but because of their company's business model(s) They do some damn stupid things.

But for the same $$$ you can find an equivalent Intel CPU that won't cook mosfets due to insane current draw. I mean look at some AMD board that are listed as 140 watts for the CPU socket, insane.

I don't hate anything. Has to be personal for that.

Anyone who hates intel/ NVIDIA or AMD are just morons with space heaters for brains.

just really crappy business practices all those companies are responsible for. You should really add Konami to that list too.

[EvilWiffles]

Razer - Quality control is ass. Support is also awful. They go overboard on advertising too, it's cringy. There are so many people having issues with the keyboards and mice on Reddit. Not  exactly sure I'd say their products are expensive but they use cheap switches on essentially everything now these days.

[Praesi]

ok, one keyboard has had some issues, but the mice have been solid for basically anyone

Razer Mice have low Quality and are overpriced.

Amd I don't really understand the hate they get sometimes. EA on the other hand I can completely understand why people would hate on this company.

[Counter-Strike Player]

@Deathroned you forgot Yahoo, Bing, and Corsair CX-series power supplies.

[Hodor]

Electronic Arts - Games buggy as all balls

Amd - They have not released any new CPUs for a while and they run hotter than intel CPUs or nvidia GPUs

Razer - Quality control and overall product quality is poor

Alienware - Dell. Need I say more?

Apple - I personally do not like being locked out of tinkering, which is apple's philosophy, their other is "make it so thin and lightweight that is is far too fragile, expensive, or powerless to be useful.

You can't expect amd to release super awesome mega cpus with such a low budget for r&d. Development of a cpu takes years...

EA has a well deserved reputation for ruining good developers and games for profit. People don't like seeing the games with heart and soul become trash for

'the Man's' profit.

 

AMD I don't know.

 

Razer because they have a rep for overcharging on sub-par products... I haven't owned much from them, but what I have has been decent (though slightly expensive).

 

Alienware because they are a bit pricey and, well, often a bit gaudy. I like them however, especially the laptops. Solidly built, decent specs, etc..

 

Apple is because of the 'hardcore' fanbase they have I think. They've managed to get a bit of a cult following that will buy and defend *anything* they do. Like their mouse with the charging on the bottom. F*cking stupid, yet the hardcore fanbase defends it like it's innovative.

They also charge a lot, but Apple products are usually well built so I don't usually have much of a problem with that.

Amd -Not sure. Intel fanboys?

Razer -Decent products, but over priced and bought on basis of name

Alienware-Don't know enough about them

Apple-There are many, and it depends on the person. Elitism is one, overpriced is another.

Why all the hate for all these companies a mere mention od their names and they get attacked. Why all the hate?

 

That's the way I see it, anyway.

Well I'll run down the reason why people dislike the companies but I don't hate any of them, infact I use/used products from all of these companies, Also I will add good points:

 

EA:

- Ridiculous DRM and Rebadged games (Fifa ect).

+ They do publish good games though.

 

AMD:

- Promises the world but gives us a load of marketing crap.

+ Very Affordable with excellent price to performance.

 

Razer:

- Overpriced and can have poor build quality.

+ They do make some excellent products worth the price premium.

 

Alienware:

- Overpriced pre built desktops.

+ Excellent Laptops (If a bit overpriced).

 

Apple:

- Overpriced, continuously putting design over functionality (Battery Size and lack of ports) and a closed and locked down ecosystem.

+ Excellent Tablets, Laptops, Desktops and Mobile Phones with the best ecosystem in the world even when locked down.

Intel and Nvidia fanboys, "Well everything is fx and I don't needs it!  So garbage!"  It's funny they like to bring up heat jokes when the 480 and 4790k exist.  This 4790k runs hotter on the same liquid cooler I used for my 9370 at around the same OC.    The problem is that because a lot of people won't utilize FX processors, while buying them for the wrong reason, they created bandwagon hate.  I'm probably one of the few forum users who actually used an FX for its intent.

 

Your take on AMD is to bash NVidia Users? Very smart.  :rolleyes: 

[Dabombinable]

And Intel users. What you saw was the perfect example of a fanboy-they are the ones who rail against other "fanboys", or those that don't agree with their point that everyone should be sucking AMD's dick because they are the underdog (through their own fault).
