This video recaps the preliminary settlement agreement filed by the plaintiffs' attorneys in a class action suit against NZXT and Fragile, citing the pair's "subscription computer" or rental computer program that we investigated in December of 2024. We previously called the program an "evil, predatory scam," and found several pieces of evidence that we believed established false advertising, misleading promotional materials, bait-and-switch tactics, and marketing towards children. Now, NZXT and Fragile have agreed in a preliminary settlement (pending Judge approval) to pay $3,450,000 in damages, restitution, debt forgiveness, and PC retention costs to the approximately 20,000 people harmed by NZXT's and Fragile's actions.
