ASUS Seemingly Drops Support for AMD Ryzen 5000 Series CPUs on X470 Motherboards, the Company Responds

Well at least we know one company man..

Pretty sure he's the one that didn't jump on the bandwagon with a pitchfork at the ready, as he said, drama queens all those sheep that fell for the headline.

One clueless low-level customer service agent gave someone some wrong information

And customer service is a division within Asus.

Pretty sure he's the one that didn't jump on the bandwagon with a pitchfork at the ready, as he said, drama queens all those sheep that fell for the headline.

Before throwing such rocks, one should make sure one does not live in a glass house... If by "falling for the headline" you mean being concerned that a company is not going to attempt to short change the public to make more money but instead actually support the product they made in an honorable fashion, then yes some of us "fell" for it.

Boo Hoo, just buy a new board. I like Asus and will always buy them before any other.

Better off with a new board for the new ryzen gen anyway imo

No need to upgrade. AMD fans said Zen, Zen+ and Zen2 was gud enuff!

True, but then few of the cast aside parts of the lucky upgrade crew are going in the bin, they're going to good homes I would hope, I only just stopped moving around Core systems a year ago and I can't see a 1700X being useless for three to five years yet.
Plus some just get the itch, Or plan an upgrade path that's well thought out For There Use cases V wallet size.
I'm very tempted but holding back, for now, but I would definitely baulk at a board and CPUs cost.

Well there's an opinion. Not everyone agrees. How about you let people decide for themselves what to buy and when.

Too damn hot here in Australia where I live for a glass house.

Now let's see how many truly did that

Thing is... the real life situation doesn't differ all that much for the vast majority of people, which is why ASUS does this the way it does it. They know the market that is really eager for that compatibility is possibly small enough to ignore OR the benefit in sales doesn't weigh up to the cost for them.

Well, my old Biostar X370 has worked all the way from an A12-9800, to a Ryzen 2700 and it´s now running with the Ryzen 3600. So that´s a 3 gen (from total of 4 supported) life here.
It´s true that people tend to buy the complete kit, but not eveyone, and Asus know that for sure.
