ASUS Rolls Back AREZ to ROG ? Nope, not at all (updated content)
The GPP (partner program) has been a lot of bad press for Nvidia, so much that they canceled the program a week or two ago. Amidst them rolling out the new program updates, some AIB and AIC partners made changes and created separate lines and brands for their Radeon cards.
Among them recently MSI with their new Mech 2 series. The biggest announcement, however, was ASUS with a large press release stating they made changes to their graphics card lineup and move Radeon graphics cards towards the new AREZ product line while removing them from the ROG line.
Well, as stated, after all criticism, NVIDIA ended GPP two weeks ago. And some board partners were already ready with moving and changing their products lines, so what now? When I checked my mailbox this morning it looked like ASUS would be the first, rolling the branding back like a bad Windows install with the restore button. See, on Twitter yesterday a post was tweeted on the account: ASUS_AREZ, claiming the separated AREZ Radeon graphics cards is part of history as you can see above (BTW thanks, KissSh0t for the news submitted). However, after looking into it, it simply looked like the twitter account where this was posted, could/would be a fake one. Today we've been trying to get some information from ASUS and after a phone call with ASUS it was confirmed, the Twitter account indeed is a fake. ASUS HQ took action today and had Twitter suspend that account (which now is disabled). ASUS at this time has no further comments on the AREZ product line. Once anything should change we'll be informed, but the AREZ branding is here to stay, well at least for now that is.

The only way to avoid posting fake news is investigating in the source PRIOR to post a "news"...
...If it was done AFTER it was a mistake.
Not a crime of course but still a mistake.
Yes, i agree but publishing without check is not the solution.
Fake news sites will always be faster to publish some real news in the middle of a sea of fake news.
If you shoot 1000 times without aiming sometimes you kill somebody.
It's more reliable because you can come to the comments and find Hilbert actively investigating whether it's fake or not.

Tech sites are in a position where if they don't immediately post the latest info they are often left behind in terms of viewership because users generally read from the breaking location then don't bother clicking articles from other sites with the same headline. This creates an issue when people are trying to spread false news via fake twitter accounts, because if you wait too long you miss out on the initial "rush" of viewers but if you don't spend time validating you run into the chance of posting incorrect info. As long as it's corrected/retracted/etc when found, I don't see the issue - which is what happened here.

Where is the insult in my post?
If you publish the same fake news (by error) that a click bait site published (intentionally without checking) what makes your article "better"?
I highly respect you and your site but respect is not the same as blind faith and following without critic.
If you disagree you are the king of your reign and you can cut short my voice.
I'm fully aware this is not a democracy: here you reign like any other site owner.
Myeah, it's not constructive criticism now is it? It's mostly insults ...

Let me put it this way, words like 'reign ' and 'kick your/my ass' do not fit my vocabulary, style or lingo, they are insulting - much like suggesting this website would not be reliable in your OP. A little more decency would be nice. I'll leave it at that sammarbella.

I never thought that using these words will be considered an insult and it was not my intention
My non formal choice of words can be more formal of course.
I could rephrase them in this way:
"It's a fact you are the owner of this site and it's another fact that you can decide the written and non written rules and who are allowed to be a member here."
Guru3D is a reliable news source and the fact a single mistake was done is the exception to the rule.
Remarking that a mistake was done because a news was not checked at source is not an insult but of course you can disagree.
At the end it's only my opinion.
