[@theryno1193]

Just unsubscribed because of how LTT treated Billet Labs and auctioning off their best prototype. What really sealed the deal for me was Linus' response on the LTT forums. Instead of apologizing and taking the GN video as feedback, he took it as a personal attack and doubled down.

[@alfderbabybenz7092]

you are not the only one. i guess ill watch everything more and more critically as more and more scandals, reactions and callouts become apparent.

[@SirVerdown]

Hey LTT you appear to have stolen some items from Billet Labs. You need to return it. Shame on you for stomping on smaller designers.

[@CarlDavison]

Linus, you let your ego get ahead of you and in doing so you have put your company and it's employees in the proverbial dog house. You have a lot of humble pie to eat. GN has you spot on.

[@Karnaige]

I'm unsubscribing and donating my LTT coat to a homeless shelter. I'm incredibly disappointed in your review videos and will no longer support your channel.

[@harryw9268]

Selling the Billet Labs prototype was dirty af and those responsible should be ashamed. Slow the f down and do things right.

[@Netro1992]

In a proper company they would be fired.

[@rose29huang]

It's 800 dollars for you to bought it back, but a whole company for them to lose. A youtuber company with 15.6 million subscribers grumbling for 800 dollars, WTF

[@vashe9]

15.6 today, how many tomorrow ?

[@dugly66]

At this point any data supplied by Ltt has to be taken with a grain of salt. There is a 70% chance it may be wrong. See how easy it is to make things up.

[@SPECTRA890]

Whenever LTT reviewed something I owned I always noticed how little they actually explored the product and how many failures were just their lack of information on how the product worked since I own a very very tiny amount of what's reviewed I use to wave it off. A lot of things make more sense now. This is as disappointing as it is lousy and awful

[@blindguardian8599]

[@wandererscott]

Based on the Gamers Nexus video, I am unsubscribing. Something about Linus's attitude towards his employees has always troubled me. This video reinforced and explained the reasons behind those concerns. I don't like how he treats others. Bye!

[@ChfHappySack]

I heard you guys like to auction off stuff that isn't yours. Pretty sure that's considered theft. So Linus, according to you, that waterblock was worthless. But.. not worthless enough to auction off for a profit?.. Please be more precise on that as the actions are hypocritical to the prior statement. Perhaps you personally weren't aware of the auctioning mishap, and if that is the case, there's a serious lack of communication between you and your associates. Not to mention how you misrepresented it in the first place, but to you it wasn't worth a couple hundred dollars for your company (worth over $100,000,000) to re-investigate your findings? Really? That's literally nothing for you. That's like what? 7 overly priced LTT screwdrivers? You messed up pretty big time dude.

[@miss_sapphire]

[@clintmosley4393]

[@matthewdeleon260]

LTT should probably be sued for what they did to Billet Labs

[@businesscasualsauron]

Absolutely. They should be forced to get that prototype back, pay damages commensurate with the fact that they may have destroyed this small company's future by auctioning off their prototype without permission.

[@andrewbt87]

Yep the damages and stolen design data is too much, now anyone can make them...any kind of compensation is pointless now...

[@JonnieAlpha]

And even if Billet Labs would make a product despite the design being shared with the world, the damage of unjustified defamation of the brand has already been done. He has to be sued.

[@Brurgh]

the problem is Billet labs is a small UK based company and LTT is based in Canada, very very expensive to sue internationally and what not, which is why LTT can get away with it without any repercussions, other than coming across really scummy.

[@Hathos9]

Here we are, with that narrative proven false, and yet Gamers Nexus has yet to apologize or issue a correction.

I genuinely hate to take away from someone's special video experience, but the GN video is really the most important video LTT viewers should be watching now. This is honestly unacceptable. I genuinely hope Linus takes the time to watch the video, reflect and then directly address the community. Not 30 minutes of frustrated rambling on the WAN show. A real response. And Ideally a roadmap forward. I've been an LTT supporter for a long time. I'm hoping that this is the wake-up call they need. I hope they take it and can move forward. But if this just comes to pass with no action, I'm out.

[@RoarkLaughed]

Speaking of "Trust me bro", why did you auction of Billet Labs' 1 of 1 water block after they had asked for it back? So not only do you agree to give it back (then not), but you refused to even test/review it correctly in the first place? Given this and the long line of questionable behavior, I dont think you can be trusted "bro".

Its honestly shameless you would sell a prototype that you promised to return. Like are you serious? How would anyone think that was right? You made money off doing a video on the prototype using the wrong gpu then completely trashed it. Stood your ground twice on it and then sold it in an auction to get more money? What you did was theft and your company needs to be held accountable for that. Just like how you push for others to be held accountable. Then wanted to make an excuse that i would have to pay employees hundreds of dollars to do the right thing? Your company made the mistake of testing it on the wrong thing and you don't want to take responsibility for it??? That's like me building a piece of software using the wrong requirements. Was that a waste? Of course it was but the software still needs to be built. At worst case that video should have been scrapped and redone. You have lost all integrity with me at this point. I honestly hope that LTT does feel some consequences from this and i pray they learn and grow from it. For me there is alot that needs to be done to rebuild my trust. I pray you guys apologise and make this right and dont rush things. Make it right and don't do things half assed.

On top of this windows can't use an M2 RAID for DirectStorage
