Apparently, the user whose PC order was canceled by Corsair without any "sensible" reason wasn’t an isolated case, as Corsair has confirmed that it also canceled DDR5 RAM orders placed on January 1. After the report on the Corsair PC order cancellation went viral, Corsair's official X handle announced the reason for the cancellation. We’ll cover this in more detail, as a larger story unfolded today and Corsair informed users via X and Reddit.

Except this is DDR5 ram, so Corsair may be using this as a cover to hike the price since it's been so volatile lately.

Yes the price is volatile, which is a great reason why a company may need to raise the prices. It would have been a kind and good hearted thing to honour the existing orders, I think that it's a dick move to cancel and refund orders, but I don't think that it's illegal or that anyone was harmed in anyway.
