I had a DX Racer chair from 2012-2020. It started to get ugly within 3-4 years and the cheap cushions lasted for longer. It's an okay chair for the price you pay, but gaming chairs, especially with these ridiculous racing chair designs, are not ideal for long-term sitting.
I received my "super expensive" Herman Miller Aeron chair in January and my back pain went away on Day 1. You can buy one used on Craigslist for $400-700 or you can buy a brand new one and get a 12-year warranty. TWELVE.
Don't ruin your back by buying B.S. gimmick racer chairs if you're gonna sit for 6+ hours. Chair brands like Herman Miller, Steelcase, and Humanchair are the way to go.
Aeron is probably the perfect chair for 20+ years, but if you want newer and shinier, Embody works well too. As far as I see, this "gaming" version doesn't cost any extra. It just looks cooler. Fine with me.
I've heard something about the gaming industry having a Me Too situation this month, but I don't know what's happening. I know there are many issues within the game development fields that should be addressed, but this looks to be a streamer issue.
