I’ve been seeing a few posts about this, and judging by comments I’ve seen on posts related to this, there’s been bad sentiment building up with LMG for some time now that has culminated in this recent dispute. Anyone have a brief catch-up of events?

    There was a vid of a lmg employee shitting on other reviewer, gn made a video calling them out.

    Linus being linus, took it personal, denied everything, and proceeded to call gn unprofessional.

      I think ‘shitting on’ is a bit of an exaggeration, it was a passing comment from a technical guy during a tour that didn’t mention GN and was in response to a question about why they’re building this setup and how it will be different.

      I think they were likely thinking of GN, but I didn’t read it as quite so ‘aggressive’.

        If you watch the first 15-20 seconds of GN’s first video on this, the clip of the guy in the tour literally calls out GamersNexus and Hardware Unboxed

        Edit: “The difference between us and, similarly, GamersNexus and HardwareUnboxed, is we test new components, new tests, everytime”
