Specifically:

What’s the controversy?

What’s Gamer Nexus about?

What is with the allegations of sexual harassment? Is the allegation against Linus Sebastian himself or employees in Linus Media Group?

    I will give a version of event that I have observed, simplified (a lot of things glossed over), and maybe inaccurate.

    1. LinusTechTips (one of their employees) criticized Hardware Unboxed and Gamers Nexus do banchmark videos in a lab tour video (on MurfsGaming channel), HUB fight back on Twitter(X), Linus (the owner of LMG) double down in their WAN show saying some creators are unprofessional, this leads to Gamers Nexus doing a long video point out how unprofessional LTT is (many errors in their videos).

    2. In Gamers Nexus’s video, they shared a story that a company send their working prototype for LTT to review, but LTT doing the testing wrong (use the prototype with incompatible hardware), then sold the prototype for charity when they have been requested to send it back twice, screwing the startup company on top of giving inaccurate test results.

    3. Linus (the owner of LMG) fight back in forum post with no apology (basically spraying gasoline on fire) and made up fake event saying they have already agreed to compensate the startup company.

    4. Gamers Nexus says in their next video that they communicated with the startup company and LTT only contacted them two hours after previous Gamers Nexus’s published, debunked Linus’s claim that they already made a deal to compensate the startup company.

    5. An ex-employee publicly talking about the time she works at LMG, bait-and-switch working contract after she moving all the way where LMG is, sexism, sexual harassment, threats, unhealthy work environment.
