I can't actually agree that any of those are 'facts'...
The closest you come is the first one, retail boxed product is being shipped with pre-builds in at least some cases but you don't know if that was stock ordered from the SI channel or B2C...
The queue position reported I took to be #4 in the pre-build queue, not the retail queue...
Claiming that 'most retail cards' have disappeared is utterly unsubstantiated and for the last point just because you can't work out where they went doesn't mean they disappeared, there are DOA's to deal with and the totally legitimate day 1 orders that didn't get into the published order queue so were being managed outside the queue system.
Repeating the same assumptions endlessly doesn't make them 'facts'...
Good god. A new account with all 4 posts defending OC with such imagination. Is that you Gibbo? And you got your mates involved too I see, all at once.
So we have 2 queues now for retail cards. And the prebuilt queue comes before the queue despite being a month or so after in ordering. They are queues for the same retail cards! But that's above board is it? Doesn't prove that OC are prioritising prebuilds? Are you for real? You aren't are you? Only someone who was a shill could even go there. And I don't mean that to be derogatory and I am not being nasty, I mean an actual shill.
Cards have disappeared by the bucket load. I don't think that they are to replace DOA as more have gone missing than have actually been sold. Unless OC are replacing DOA cards with 2 new ones and a majority are DOA, then that isn't it is it? People who had to be fitted into queues, interesting. I was one of those. There weren't many of us, I spoke to customer service on the phone and on the website, we had a thread too. That very tiny few of us that were spread around all parts of the queues could not be responsible for the missing cards. The straws that you are clutching at suggests that you are shilling here. Are you sure this isn't Gibbo?
We even received half orders of cards for the first order. Expected 50 we were told by Gigabyte. 50 confirmed delivered by gigabyte.25 turned up and were shipped, confirmed by Gibbo. So what happened to the other 25? Can't be DOA replacements, they hadn't sent any of that card out at all. Can't be lol sorry "missing persons" because there were 25 sent confirmed. So yes missing. 100% missing with no rational (or irrational in your case) explanation for their disappearance.
Seems like whatever I say to you, you will defend OC, almost like you work for them. If that's you Gibbo, man up and stop hiding behind the facade. If you are a colleague then I hope they are paying you well to defend the indefensible. If you are neither then I suggest you set your alarm clock on its loudest setting and wake up, because you are in dreamland.
