This reminds me of how Fry's electronics when out of business. They Stopped restocking the shelves. They left their employees clueless as to what was going on.
 
Very sad.

In my opinion it's history repeating itself.  3dfx did the same thing nvidia has done... compete with your AIB's.  The difference with nvidia is that they aren't reliant on gpus for gaming graphics card sales anymore which means they could care less about the companies that helped build and support them.  I'm sure as time goes on more AIBs will drop nvidia.  As for EVGA remember they are a private company and haven't diversified well to weather different economic climates.  I am optimistic though that someone will buy the brand and continue the business model that made EVGA great.  Highend custom electronics built to be pushed beyond stock specs.  If not, someone else will rise to fill the demand.  At worst EVGA will become like BFG, a classic badass board partner that pushed the limits every generation.  Thanks EVGA for great times and helping me learn way more about electronics than I could have ever imagined.

I'm sure someone would have gladly taken over (although far less likely now CEO Andrew Han has all but destroyed the company), however it seems Andrew Han was unwilling to sell EVGA - he's apparently determined to take the company down completely and retire. Why take the company down though? No idea - probably because he's a giant tool. Instead of leaving a legacy of captaining arguably the best company in the business, his legacy is to be pretty much despised by everyone for intentionally sinking the ship.

@nereus  Thanks for info and that's unfortunate.  The little I've heard from industry people years ago about Andrew, was not good.  Sounds like there's a lot of pride messing up a good thing.

Hopefully my EVGA products will run for quite some time without issue...because I have no idea if they could be sent to anyone for repair.  So far so good...and I suspect no issues.  Even with my current BIOS,...all is running well.  
 
If at some point in the future I have to do a new build, I'll have to decide which company/brand to go with.  Which sucks....because I WOULD have gone EVGA again.

If an EVGA item fails during warranty apply for an RMA. If EVGA had decided to stay with GPU manufacturing I would have an EVGA RTX 4090 in my PC now instead of another company.

EVGA's PSUs are getting worse, not better.  If EVGA is going to be the next Corsair, things would have to change.  They would have to improve their quality and reduce their development time to match their competition.
EVGA's mice and keyboards are nothing to rave about either.  Those mostly need software and firmware improvement, but also some have quality/design issues.


Do you think shareholders give a $.  EVGA can put their sorry ass right back on map. Hmm..   Copyright, production,.  "Skinner"

EVGA is a private company and has no shareholders.

EVGA is still thriving selling smaller items.
