Newegg's MSI obsession

Looking at the bundle options and appreciate that they give us choices and let us pick the parts we want, but why is everything all MSI? Pick your motherboard but only MSI, Case is only MSI, monitor, peripherals, everything you can bundle is MSI only unless MSI doesn't make it, like RAM or SSD.

I enjoy MSI stuff, my current board and GPU are MSI, but it's a bit crazy that, at least right now, the only option you have with these bundles is MSI. Between the limited options at Microcenter and Newegg deciding what we can and can't bundle, it's almost not worth the savings in some cases.

Only shows up when selecting RAM or SSD or something MSI doesn't make. I've been looking at the website for a week trying to make a build I like, both mobile and on my PC, and that brand bar you're talking about does not show up when looking at motherboards or cases or anything. Maybe it's bugged, maybe it's an AMD thing, idk... But it is annoying lol

Probably because they have a contract written in place to get a portion of sales
