News from Gamers Nexus. Including some part about the response from Linus regarding the previous video. Linus really likes to jump the gun and digging holes for himself.
He’s an entertainer, but also an idiot
my goodness, they need to slow the video output rate so that they can carefully consider the content of responses to valid criticism.
I think Linus is convinced that if they slow down at all, the entire company will collapse because they’ve grown so huge. They also ran up huge debt to build the Labs which will not start generating revenue for a long time.
I like LMG. They make some decent content, that’s easily understood. That being said, they’re handling this VERY badly. Shame on Linus, and LMG.
Seeing Linus not address about LMG agreed to send the protype back to Billet Labs, plus Billet Labs publicly stating “No, we never agreed to financial compensation, we asked for it to be returned” and Linus saying it was auctioned for charity makes Linus Media Group a thief.
Yes,I’m saying LMG stole the protype from Billet Laps since it was sold and not retuned.
Thievery implies intent. I think I’d like to give the benefit of the doubt here and say it not being returned may well have been unintentional, through carelessness or straight up hubris (“I can do whatever I want with stuff people send to me!”). Either way, it’s incredibly bad, but one is obviously worse than the other.
Billet Labs asked for it to be returned. LMG agreed the their request and told Billet Labs “Yes, we will return it to you.” Then LMG auctioned it off. LMG committed theft. There very well may be a valid legal case for Billet Labs to sue for punitive damages if LMG does not give them a sizeable amount of money.
The dude who doesn’t let his employees talk about pay is a shit bag? Who would have guessed?
