1. Comment - Dell Acquires Alienware

   Nelson likes it like that.
   
   If you've ever worked for Alienware, then you saw this coming. It is nothing new and shouldn't even be news worthy. I worked there for two years in their design department and left for my own reasons. I worked directly with developing and maintaining their "image" and it wasn't easy. Nelson Gonzalez is a inconsiderate, crazy ass, hot headed, selling out, SOB. I guess some types of success come at a price. Alex Aguila is the real heart of the company and everyone knows this! Although they are both sell outs at this point and I would have liked to see them get bought out by a company with more class and appeal to their hardcore audience. They have shown their true colors. Nobody at Alienware really liked Dell, it's so sad that they would do this to everyone who had their back.
   
   "Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed."
   
   "According to Gonzalez, a Dell acquisition was considered the best option after it looked at offering stock in the company through an initial public offering."
   
   In other words, screw the employees of Alienware, the true creators of their brand. Nelson didn't make it to the top on his own and couldn't if he tried. He's anything but a hardcore gamer. It all comes back to corporate BS, they only care about themselves. For quite sometime, you couldn't even buy a PC at a discounted price if you worked there, and I wouldn't be surprised if you still can't. It was sad and lame, but whatever, Alienware will always be around and that's that. Maybe some good will come of this?
