RaidCall, the leading low-latency voice solution for gamers,
Is there some evidence for this? I have no idea where to look for figures relevant to this claim.
Who else but Nony to come in and be a bonerkill
Come on, there's a difference between being a bonerkill and asking a question about a product that, depending on the answer, might be of use to people like NonY.
Please, I really hope it wont be EGRC. For one if they dont know what it means, they will think its part of the team name like my friends did with fnatic.

Incontrol said this was as big as Intel / Monster, so would be weird to see them change to RCEG if they didn't use EGMonster or something similar. Will probably just be a new "I want to thank our wonderful sponsors Intel Monster RaidCall Steelseries Kingston HyperX Beyond Gaming and Sapphire. Also check out our other sponsors at myeg.net"
It's just that puffery may be legally okay but I don't believe it meets standards we ought to hold ourselves to on the forums. If a statement isn't meant to be taken seriously, it must have some value outside of its literal meaning in order to be worth our time, like humor.
The relationship a consumer has with an advertisement is very different from the relationship one of our forum members has with a post. When claims are made that can't be backed up, especially by people who are not veterans of our community, we call bullshit and get rid of them.
edit: In other words, if everyone thinks puffery is now a perfectly acceptable defense of claims made in posts, then you've all lost your fucking minds.

lol. the basis for puffery is that a reasonable consumer would understand that it is bullshit, and so its not legally enforceable. so, the gist of your statement is that tl.net forum readers (who should be marginally technically savvy) are less intelligent than a reasonable consumer and need to be coddled like children. if that is what tl.net is turning into, they truly have lost their fucking minds.
edit: oh, and EG didn't post it on this site. a forum user did. holding EG to your standards on their own website is kinda iffy.
