Editorial GALAX GeForce EX OC "White Gamer" Series: Epic Product Name Fail

the54thvoid · Oct 29, 2018

I don't agree with ROG - Republic of Gamers.

It offends Queen Lizzie, God bless her silken socks. How about, Commonwealth of Gamers, or Empire of...

Oh, wait.

Punx223 · Oct 29, 2018

Why is this even here?

This is simply a cheap shot for a posting mistake on a website.. with what I can only assume is the hope that the OP will achieve internet glory by having a thread go viral by exploiting what is likely a non native English speaker trying to list the item on their website.

OP should think twice before trying to create a viral shit storm over nothing... It says right on the box.

So you skimmed the article missed the fact its an editorial poking fun at there mistake and the fact every product marketed to us has to have Gamer something in the title these days or Gaming.

Sorry for any misspellings.. Typed via mobile while taking a shit...

Which is about what I would consider this "post"... I won't call it an article as that would give it some measure of journalistic credibility.

If you were poking fun at it, you would not start it with a connotation of disdain toward the product name as you were simply hoping you could get a viral post that would get everyone up in arms with the current politically correct climate.

Sorry, not getting that notch on your belt from me kid.

If I ran this site I would suspend you from posting a bit till you got better etiquette. being you're considered staff.

Someone sounds a bit butt hurt?

Literally remove the Gamer part and its all good. They also have 3-4 different monikers for there GPUs, if they simple stuck with something rather than reinventing the wheel every 6 months by using a solid product naming scheme problems like this wouldn't really come about. Product names have gone to shit and yeah I ran with it. Hopefully companies will realize they they have been riding the Gaming / Gamer nutsack into the ground for long enough.

Solid branding helps companies avoid pitfalls like this, simply taking buzzwords, colors, and Gamer / Gaming = shit product names. Here it ended up with what I would considering a funny marketing failure since at this point between the website and their box this GPU is essentially a:

GALAX GeForce RTX 2080 EXOC SNPR GAMER WHITE or White Gamer as the site has it listed currently. let me add more acronyms and buzzwords.

GALAX GeForce RTX 2080 EXOC HOF SNPR GAMER WHITE

GALAX GeForce RTX 2080 EXOC HOF SNPR GAMER WHITE RGB

GALAX GeForce RTX 2080 EXOC HOF SNPR GAMER WHITE RGB SE

I can keep going..... really its pretty much endless the shitty combinations with the buzzwords and awful branding for pretty much all companies at this point.
I find it funny when you poke a bit of fun at something people always get there panties in a bunch. Oh well :toast:

Even the random name generator thinks this is racist. The name of the image on TPU is

Did it need the KKK in the name?

EVGA uses the word "black" in the names of it's cards all the time but I don't see any tears about it, so much racism against "white" it's pathetic lol.

I'll just let you keep throating him then... My point stands...

Making a big deal about nothing is how we get all of these uproars over nothing... Thanks for keeping this wonderful shit show alive.

look at the box....its clearly a misunderstanding...

The box = "gamer white".... Someone inputting on the website made a mistake..

I don't see why this is still going...

This should not even be a valid post by any reputable staff of a review site or community...

The link and title say otherwise, even the link name...
Its says white gamer 3 times 2 on site and 1 in link name.

To make that mistake 3 times when you have the box art to look at is weird and probably done on purpose

@T4C Fantasy its all good man apparently most people just read titles and maybe the first paragraph.

The jokes are lost on the many, and calling attention to the absurdity of gaming everything was apparently lost as well. Some people obviously got it. Some didn't, haters going to hate.
