_cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 12 hours agohey, since you love "independent investigations", what's your take on Gamers Nexus catching LTT taking money for positive reviews of products? where the investigation for that, eh?

I don’t watch games Nexus lol so you are going to have to be now specific.

you would know if you had been paying attention to our conversation.
hey what about the time LTT auctioned off property that belonged to someone else without asking them, what's your take on that?
busyconstruction13@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
You mean the prototype that was initially planned to just be given to them but was sold for a charity auction then LTT offered an apology and tried to monetarily compensate billet labs?
This wasn’t sold maliciously nor for profit.

It wasn't planned to just be given to them. It was always a prototype sent to them for sponsoring purposes. Then they dunked on it and auctioned it. If it was a misunderstanding it was an egregious misunderstanding. Though they also enormously misunderstood a mouse in another tech review and never took off the cover while complaining of trash tracking (because they didn't take off the cover at the bottom!).
That said, this was all two years ago. Not sure what stirred things up in January.

it figures you would be OK with that, since you were OK with the sexual harassment. what's a little theft when you've already dismissed unwanted sexual contact, amiright?
the reason I'm still talking with you is because I want to demonstrate to everyone one of the other controversies around LTT, that being the toxic fanbase that's as rabid as Elon's or Trump's. and you played along fantastically, dutifully playing the part of fanboy for everyone to see. so for that, I thank you.
but now that you've done your job and played your role, I don't have any further use for you, so ta-ta and farewell!
