Quality over quantity, we do not want batches of defect products due to 3rd rate production, especially for stuff in the high end and mid range that AMD have to offer.

Inhell is trying to look like it's a nice guy by doing this. But the damage has already been done. They need to be fined hard by the EU and US for their past anti-competitive practices.
