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?
Linus tend to shoot his mouth. Luckily, he has Luke and Yvonne to kick him down a peg. I believe that Luke made Linus back down during the Trust Me Bro controversy and Luke will do the same here. Knowing Linus, he will probably even make a new video on this matter that will rake in 2 million views and profit from it.
Came to say the exact same thing. Both benefit form it because here we are talking about it, so there’s no down side for either of them. And you’re right he’ll make a video, get 2 million views and bank.
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”
If you’re interested at all, just watch the GN video. It’s pretty long, but worth it.
This video gives a really good breakdown of everything. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XH6zCNR0SZ4
