Manufacturers, and well, pretty much anyone these days greatly benefit from open and social platforms to communicate to their end-users directly. That however also can have consequences, as every word you say will be weighed and can haunt you.
Something like that happened with an MSI India employee in a Facebook reply. The employee was posting a reply the MSI India gaming account as a question was asked on a gaming notebook post, there was some talk about the heated NVIDIA GPP discussion, the employee replied. Once posted on facebook, the comment spiraled out of control fast at Reddit. Reddit user pjgowtham accused MSI, Gigabyte, and Asus of participating in the Nvidia Partner Program. In the response, MSI Gaming India states that Nvidia is ‘ahead of the GPU experience’ and people would not buy something “sub-par”, obviously talking AMD Radeon here.
The GeForce Partner Program has been under a lot of scrutinies lately, it’s reported that Nvidia would try to exclusively bind the gaming brand names to them. While I’m not going to defend the MSI Gaming India social media team responses, I do understand that sometimes it can be hard and harsh to even answer such questions with an angry mob waiting outside the premises with pitchforks and such ready to start a mud fight. Let’s call that response, not so handy.
