Last week, both Asus and Acer were blocked from directly selling gaming PCs in Germany due to a lawsuit from phone manufacturer Nokia. This not only leaves potential customers with fewer choices when it comes to their next rig, but now that the websites are down, they are left without updates too. Or at least without some extra effort.

However, Acer has informed me: "The site should be up again shortly but in the meantime German customers can contact Acer support via the website, or alternatively also download updates here."

As pointed out by ComputerBase, trying to access the German websites for Acer and Asus will greet you with an error message. It seems like this is reliant on your geolocation, so using a VPN will get you around the errors, but it's a sign of how things have progressed since Nokia's case.
