Corsair is facing growing backlash after reportedly canceling multiple DDR5 RAM orders. While the company offered a 15% discount on future purchases as compensation, customers claim the provided coupon codes were already expired.

"In the cancellation emails, Corsair apologized for the situation. The company stated that the product had been priced incorrectly due to a system error. "

LOL. Not updating the pricing on a SKU from a supplier is not a system error.

This is why suppliers change their SKU's on what are really identical products.

So they can raise prices without a price match.

So really the orders were rejected because the SKU for the component was no longer available, because the original SKU probably had a contracted price.
