I'm a bit out of the loop, is there a video of this outburst/ tantrum still online?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

Before the new CEO or whoever managed to get a hold of the situation Linus posted the equivalent of a temper tantrum as an "apology" on the forums. This "apology" featured bangers such as (direct quotes) "We didn't 'sell' the monoblock, but rather auctioned it", "If you haven't seen the improvement, frankly I wonder if you're even looking for it", "I still disagree the Billet Labs video (...) is an 'accuracy' issue. It's more like I just read the room wrong. We could have retested with perfect accuracy, but [... goes on to bash the Product again for alledgedly being unusable even if properly handled. His Source: trust me bro]".

Tantrum can be found in full here: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1526180-gamers-nexus-alleges-lmg-has-insufficient-ethics-and-integrity/page/16/#comment-16078641
