I'm sure ASUS will change this policy overtime, the real question will be at what cost for them.
Branding these days can be greatly affected with public opinion, and with all these YouTube/Facebook reviews and tech channels, its just a very slippery step.
Every company, including my own, is paying a lot of attention to target public and overall feedback on Facebook, and we are not a tech company. We sure had some losses due to public opinion in the last year.
As for myself, I was really anxious to get my hands on a Ryujin 360 but now I feel that I must wait a bit to see where things are going, specially after spending big time for a decade on RoG/ASUS stuff. I won't be buying the Delta RoG Headset with the RGB either, and instead consider the Strix Go 2.4 with no RGB or maybe a Logitech one.
Was looking for the 6800 Strix too but GPU market is a mess right now.
We, faithful RoG gamers await your call, ASUS. We, or at least I, I really like your Brand, that's why I'm writing this.
Sincerely
