According to Billet themselves, they heard nothing about compensation or payback until about 3 hours after the original GN video went live… Which Billet hadnt even replied to before Linus made his post saying they’ve already made the deal on compensation.
Linus has become time a big multi-millionaire media tycoon and acting as such. I really hope this takes a big chunk out his company’s bottom line (to have a learning effect), he has been getting high on success for far too long.
Now say it with me lads : “You Either Die A Hero Or Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain”
If I understood his position of the retesting properly, he was saying that the cost of the block, regardless of if it cooled well, was too much to be viable. Fine, you’d come to that same conclusion regardless, but you have to do the testing right and explain that. ALSO, its not even a final, or near final product, why are you giving it review already? And thats not even going into the auctioning of the item.
His position was essentially “it doesn’t matter that our review was completely invalid because the product is too expensive”. And he considers himself to have a serious review company.
