AMD Raffle Disappoint!
AMD, SK-Gaming. Both such big companies. They decided to make a partnership about 5 months ago. They also made another decision. To create a competition for 5 brand new AMD Spider platforms. Winning it was easy – just to answer an easy question or to promote AMD in some particular way. Hundreds of people participated and in the end there were five lucky winners. Or at least that was what we thought…I’ve started first paragraph of this “blog” with two words – AMD, SK-Gaming. This one I start with only 1 word which describes whole situation the best – disappoint.
After almost 5 months winners have still nothing. Why? Have they forgotten us? Don’t they care? I remember reading once that AMD care about it’s customers the most and their wish is to please them in the best way possible.
I’ve asked some of the winners their opinion about this AMD Raffle situation:
“I feel very disappointed and let down at the team at SK and AMD”, Ahmed "Achy_88" Matar
“I just think it's stupid that in a raffle that was supposed to promote AMD and bring them good publicity, they are creating themselves bad publicity by taking ages to send out the prizes.”, Zac "zaK-" Basset
“Not getting the computers sucks for everyone, but personally i am SAD at this point. The 28th of July i am leaving for my millitary service and will be away from home for a full year.”, Martin 'Ntrm' Five.
As you can see we all have similar opinions. Whole situation is sad and not professional at all.
We all are dissapoined because nobody could expect something like this from such corporation as AMD. I am no longer sure if I agree with AMD’s slogan, that AMD is really: “THE SMARTER CHOICE”.
After this long time I would really appreciate an answer on question: "are we getting our computers at all?". I just want to know clear answer, no more talking that computers will be send SOON.
P.S.: this blog was written to let the community know about whole situation and maybe it will help to get some answers from AMD.
