  Jason AKA: [RT] NegativePwr: A Sad Day For Gamers

Well folks.....The king is dead!

The once Titan of OEM gaming computers has met its demise.
I think we all saw it coming but no one wanted to say it out loud.
Alienware has been consumed by the outsourcing crap giant........That's right...you guessed it....!!!DELL!!!

As I sit here reflecting on Alienware's life I think back to when they were just a young pup of a custom computer company. They had such promise back then.....Eventually they did reach a revered status among all computer nerds and gamers.... There was a time when if you had an Alienware you were "it"...."The Shit".......It did not matter if someone else had a home built machine that was faster than your Alienware....You were still Top Dog! Because it was an Alienware.....It was known by all that Alienware only used the very best parts and the most advanced hardware and software configurations and boasted being extremely stable because of all the stressful testing they had to go through before being shipped. Rated Best gaming PC of the year 5 years running by PC Gamer. However over the last 2-3 years we have begun seeing a gradual decline...I my self only began to notice it when I bought my Alienware laptop... The first thing to go was the support....Rumors began circulating the net that getting hardware repairs done was becoming more and more difficult.....then you started to hear from people that after waiting 3 months for their Alienware it arrived broken or parts were missing....Of course no one wanted to admit what was obviously happening....That Alienware was getting to big for itself. The advanced testing and custom configs suddenly did not seem so advanced or custom. More and more complaints kept rolling in...More and more rumors creeping up...and finally this...They Sell out to DELL!!!! Sure in the short term they will still hold the title....But with Dell being in control we now know there is no hope of recovery...Alienware will continue it downslide until are looked upon as crap....It will be like picking up an old Samsung laptop from first Saturday....The old guys will think...damn..This used be the best damn computer out there....and now no one even knows what it is... Anyway that is enough ranting for now...I just figured I should say something at the funeral.



Alienware Sells Out
