The legal action is, i think, because linus is basically dragging them through some deep mud by saying he is wrong and what he does are lies. Now i know gn kinda started it by mentioning them in the honey lawsuit video, and they shouldnt have, not like how they did ( but they were right that linus should have spoken up in 2017 because they knew what was going on ).

I also suspect there is no reaction on the honey and biletlabs thing because there is nothing new to add. We know linus knew but kept his mouth shut about it and why, and we know ltt's internal workings fucked up everything about the biletlabs prototype (the video, the mislabeling of item, the auction, ... ).

This whole thing is a shitfest and both parties need to calm the fuck down, which a threat at legal action might force them to do so.

My opinion is that linus (again) shouldve kept his mouth shut about how "his head wouldve rolled if he spoke about honey" because that was wrong of him. Gn shouldnt have made the low punch towards ltt after that which caused linus to (again) not shut up and make things worse.

spoken up in 2017 because they knew what was going on ).

Wasnt LTT also informed by other peers? Don't remember much of any coverage by any other outlet.
And I think Linus even said that the information went around in the creator circles but didnt reach viewership.

Which was only mentioned because the original investigator, MegaLag, also mentioned LTT as part of the investigation into honey.

Funny how people are rather obessive over ignoring this crucial point, while trying to make Steve seem obsessed with Linus/LTT.

Oh i know, i saw megalag's video before it blew up and ltt was indeed already in some bad spot because of it. Doesnt mean they (gn) should have gone with a low blow of showing the wan show bit and responding to it as they did.
That said, i agree with the core of their problem though. Gn are doing the right thing in the end and linus shouldve done so too back then.
