With ROG known for making more advanced and high-quality gaming technology, it is yet to be seen as to how IKEA will help make this affordable for gamers. The two contrasting outlets will have a big job on their hands to combine premium gear with affordable profits to make the partnership worthwhile.
IKEA already has an office range, boasting a range of desks and chairs that can be used by gamers, hinting at the quality of the items to be tailored towards specific gaming chairs and electronics, rather than desks.
With many gaming supplies costing large amounts, and many gamers spending hundreds of pounds on the next-generation consoles, an affordable range of accessories could be just what the community need to keep the cost down in designing their gaming rooms.
