MSI you just got ranked down on my list of recommended companies. Congratulations! I wonder how many other people you have annoyed, probably not enough to verifiably affect your sales, which is unfortunate, because you deserve a small dip in sales.īelow you will find screenshots of the page and a description of why I believe that MSI is being deliberately deceptive. However, by doing this, that is the exact look they are cultivating. It is unexpected on the website of such a reputable corporation, with good reason, using this tactic makes you look shady and untrustworthy, not a look that I imagine MSI wants to cultivate amongst its target demographic. This marketing practice is contemptible and frustrating for less initiated users. I didn't fall for this deceptive link but if I had, I would not be surprised if MSI got paid for directing traffic to that third party. It is clear that the link is clearly intended to be disguised as the download link for MSI afterburner. I am both disappointed and slightly surprised to find that when I visit there are multiple neigh identically formatted download links, the first one on the page is for an seemingly unrelated benchmarking software provided by what appears to be a third party, the correct download link is much further down the page.
