For example, we don't know how many people would be ecstatic about winning the "privilege" of purchasing an Asus TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti for nearly $2,000.
LOL! I signed up for so many 3070 and 3080 shuffles over a year ago. People with automatically generated accounts were winning shuffles left and right -- even on consecutive days -- and boasting about it on Twitter. Newegg did not limit who or how often people could win. Legit customers with transaction histories with Newegg got completely shafted by the shuffle system.According to Newegg, the Shuffle "[offers] our customers a fairer way to purchase products in short supply and mitigate behaviors that would give anyone an unfair advantage."
You mean like we mentioned in the article?Steve from Gamers Nexus got Scammed by Newegg.

You must subscribe to the "any mention of our name is good marketing" school of thought. The article is clearly not pro-Newegg and notes multiple criticisms of the company and the Shuffle program. So yeah, we got paid a lot for that.I hope Toms Hardware got compensated for this article. You shouldn't be giving free advertising to Newegg.
Bull. I have inside sources that told me Aunt Jemima herself paid for the pancake frying article you guys posted in return for a strategically placed syrup bottle in one of the article pictures.For the record, the only stories that are ever paid for content are not written by Tom's Hardware editorial staff and clearly state that they are sponsored content.
The content of the article is fair. I'm just taking the opportunity to dump on a company that has been exacerbating the GPU crisis because I see a headline that says something akin to "wildly unfair system -- that doesn't help get GPUs into the hands of gamers/artists or limit purchases -- is coming back." You mistake my anger at Newegg and desire to see them face some sort of cost or consequence with a shot at your editorial staff. I'm just an angry former customer trying to scare off other Newegg customers because I want the company to do better. The GPU crisis should have been solved by now.You must subscribe to the "any mention of our name is good marketing" school of thought.

Pandemic and shortages aren't over, and Newegg most certainly isn't the one directly prolonging the shortages. AMD and Nvidia are still fighting for wafers to some degree, and I'm sure Nvidia at this point is more focused on Ada than on improving supply of Ampere. Mining demand is certainly tapering off, but we'll have to see if scalpers eventually see potential profits diminish to the point where they stop buying everything.The content of the article is fair.

The blame for the nearly $2000 price falls on Asus.
Newegg did not limit who or how often people could win. Legit customers with transaction histories with Newegg got completely shafted by the shuffle system.
I think we both know they didn't and it is not their fault you got passed on by newegg shuffle (still questioning if you ever tried hard enough). If it wasn't for this thread by these guys nobody would ever hear my story about falsified 'Ships from US seller' and I think that is a whole nother article right there.... So thanks to "JarredWaltonGPU" and the team for doing good reporting.I hope Toms Hardware got compensated for this article. You shouldn't be giving free advertising to Newegg.
I got 2 cards from it.Newegg did not limit who or how often people could win. Legit customers with transaction histories with Newegg got completely shafted by the shuffle system.
