    There’s no way Steve knew or intended this would blow up the way it did. After Steve’s original 45 min video, the situation was still “recoverable” at LMG.

    Then Linus dug in not once, but twice, and then the Madison post.

    Has Steve said anything else recently? Hopefully he kinda backs off, honestly. It’s gone way beyond the original scope of his video.

      He said on his news recap video that they’re not going to address the lmg issue after seeing Linus’s forum response. So I think he’s gonna leave it at that.

      Can I get a tldr? I’m really out of the loop on this.

      I read Madison’s post, but I’m not sure what’s going on with Linus other than that.

        They have reviewed a GPU cooler from a company incorrectly, said it was trash and don’t buy it, refused to do the review correctly and then sold the prototype cooler at auction when they agreed to return it.

        GN called them out on that and their massive QC problems, crunch and ethics.

        Gamer’s Nexus calls out LTT for some major oversights and failures, then the internet hate machine bandwagons on top and blows everything into a massive issue.

        So many people are so worked up for something so incredibly insignificant.

          Did you watch any of the videos? Linus straight up lied about reimbursing them. They didn’t reach out to them until after the first GN video was released.

      He said in his follow-up video that there would be no more follow-ups. So we’ll see.
