Kristopher "KristoferYee" was seen admonishing the newly launched PC-making company by gaming and content-creating organization OTK and streamer Charlie "Moistcr1TiKaL". Earlier this month, the group launched Starforge Systems, which has been under a lot of criticism for the extreme price ranges of their PCs.

After receiving a lot of flak, the company decided to alter the price ranges to a certain degree. Regardless of their little twigs, fans remain disgruntled. The 27-year-old American YouTuber commented:
