You know, this is some shit that I expect when dealing with some shady asshole on ebay, but LMG?

Bro... Are you ok?

I always wondered if Linus was actually a slimy POS, but this Billet Labs situation has cemented it for me. If you haven't watched the Gamers Nexus followup video, definitely watch it.

Mate, you should never think an online influencer/store is on your side. They're not.

Not even Steve from Gamer's Nexus is your friend.

Can you still practice safe exchange with them? Yes, just be informed of your rights.

Edit/addition: Didn't check the link. Thought this was about the last drama.

This addresses new issues, and it's important to solve those issues.

I feel like when Linus was still CEO, he made too many choices too fast, and that's caused the situation LMG is in now.

They have to rush content to get bills paid in time.

An extremely impulsive CEO is never good.

Imma go ask Steve if he wants to be my friend.

Well to be fair, he'll probably agree over a longer contact period, albeit it doesn't seem he has a lot of free time.

Yea, if even 1% of their fan base were to send them a message ot would be spam for days. Even if they weren't doing anything else it would be too much.

Still wish him all the best.
