Crazy how much shit dropped on LTT simply from a gamer nexus video. It’s beautiful

I mean that shit was steamy. And Steve was so pissed, for a dude whose usually pretty chill, it really said a lot about the gravity of his accusations.

Every once in a while Steve gets visibly upset about corporate misbehavior, but I've been watching GN for a few years, and the news segment where he was replying to Linus's dismissive forum post is the angriest I've ever seen him.

You mean, he had expression in his voice?! 😂 lol.. I like Steve

And all this because LMG started the war by calling them shit. You get what's coming to you eventually, I guess.

It's like Harvey Weinstein, people in the industry knew he was a slimy piece of shit for years but he wielded too much power and speaking out was the death of your career. So few did.

Once it was out in the public press, the floodgates of people coming forward with similar stories opened up.

Absolutely not. I'm not even sure rn he is an inherently bad person and not just a guy with a lot of shit on his back at his breaking point.

Have you seen the statements from a former employee?

This is not the actions of "just a guy with a lot of shit on his back at his breaking point."
