Considering they actually make their own boards (or at least, some of them, I heard they outsourced some recently) unlike some, I'm not so sure. We'd have a void to fill, though I'm sure Foxconn and the like would be thrilled.

That being said, I'm aware of the bad RMA practices, and the lousy customer support. I'm also aware their bioses tend to be shit (they leave them unlocked though, which I like). Any other reasons to dislike them? I mean if my customer return rate is anything to go by, board quality isn't awful, and other than RGB madness and the above, they aren't much worse than say ASUS in my books.

The product quality isn't really an issue. Nothing they make is the best in the industry. The motherboards are just meh, and their graphics cards are the worst aftermarket cards you can buy(because they still insist on using absolute shit fans).

But the real issues, the ones I say they should go out of business for, are how they run their business and treat their customers. They are easily the worst company to do business with out of all the big names. They straight up lie to customers, they damage returns so they can refuse the RAM, they act completely cold when they are inconveniencing you, in fact they'll actually act like you are bothering them just to get a replacement for their broken product.
