Is Gamers Nexus finally getting the respect they deserve?

Everyone respects Steve and his team.
They also fall asleep during his videos.
GN has always had respect. Linus has even directed people to GN on multiple occasions. Steve from GN was invited to Linuses roast and I thought they did some stuff together (maybe one of the scrapyard wars?)
I guess my point is: there has been mutual respect from both of these guys for each other. Which makes the fact that Steve didn't give Linus a chance to comment/add some context to GN's video pretty shitty.
No he doesn't "have" to reach out, but it seems really odd that they didn't given their working relationship to date (even if it's just two business men in the same field that knows each other).
You don't do a call out video without a heads-up...unless you 1. Are trying to do a hit piece 2. You think he will provide enough context to change your mind and you'll have to scrap your video or 3. You are worried he'll scoop you or have too good of a response
Its worth noting GN probably sees LTT labs as an existential threat once they get going.
It doesn't mean their concerns are valid now, but this isn't some completely altruistic "think of the consumer" situation.
Have you seen Linus's response? He played victim, ignored parts of the criticism and apparently straight up lied about the proceedings with that cooler startup.
Also this video was the result of many incidents and it seems like they never even got over the "trust me bro" thing. I honestly don't understand why, because that was a way less spicy video on GNs side.
It's our job to ignore relationships
They handled LTT the same way they would, and did in the past, any other company. If you think it's bad that they don't do favouritism, then there's something seriously messed up about your moral compass.
Man, scrapyard wars is not a set of words I've heard mentioned in a while. I have such fondness for old LTT stuff but stopped watching years ago as they started growing and pushing out more and more videos. I guess that's why scrapyard wars also got rushed / dropped by the end. Doing it right just takes more time so it isn't profitable in their business model. What a useless channel this has become.
