However, what it said has not satisfied Gamers Nexus, which posted its own response<\/a>, saying NZXT\u2019s statement \u201cnot only misrepresents facts, but distorts the reality of their predatory rental computer program. The statement ignores major points and introduces several new concerns.\u201d The post says GN is working on a new investigation into the program that \u201cwill take weeks or months to finalize.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The two main actions NZXT says it\u2019s taking are on the PC names, like switching the name of its \u201cPlayer: One\u201d rental PC to \u201cFlex: One Subscription PC,\u201d and influencer campaigns \u201cwhere the statements did not accurately reflect the details of our NZXT Flex program.\u201d NZXT says it has pulled all of its \u201cinfluencer-led\u201d advertising while it updates the language and process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

NZXT says it is adjusting the language in its subscriber agreement as well and will make it clear that the company doesn\u2019t sell user data on customers\u2019 returned PCs. \u201cEvery Flex PC that comes back is fully wiped,\u201d Hou said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Hou also addressed the rental PC specs that Gamers Nexus said fluctuated \u201cday-to-day,\u201d noting that the Flex program \u201cdoesn\u2019t give you fixed specs\u201d due to the changing availability of components. \u201cSometimes we don\u2019t have more supply coming in, so in the midst of that we actually have to change the specs of our PCs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, this still doesn\u2019t explain why NZXT displayed the same estimated frames per second across builds with different components. The Verge<\/em> has contacted NZXT about the program, but the company has not responded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
