Corsair reverses course and honors gaming PC order after $700 price hike uproar — order was erroneously flagged, but the company sends a coupon to the buyer to snag the PC at the original price

Corsair faced backlash after a Reddit user's $3,499 gaming PC order was canceled and then repriced at $4,299. The company attributed the cancellation to a fraud detection system error. Following community uproar, Corsair rectified the situation by offering the buyer a coupon to purchase the PC at the original price. The Redditor, who preferred a pre-built PC for ease and warranty coverage, ordered the Corsair Vengeance a5100 with high-end specs. Despite the price difference, Corsair's resolution was seen as commendable.
