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.

If now was a time to bring in a full time CEO and relegate Linus into "creative director", or whatever title he wants to give himself, now is that time.

GN has simply pulled back the curtain to show another corporation who put their bottom line before their viewers. And his response only shows this even further.

Truly disappointed by the whole debacle.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not...but "that time" was a month and a half ago

On May 18, 2023, Sebastian announced that he would be stepping down as Chief Executive Officer and would be transitioning into a creative role, effective July 1, 2023. Terren Tong, previously an executive of Corsair Gaming and whom Sebastian worked under during his time at NCIX, was named to replace Sebastian as CEO

Maybe he means step down as in really step down and not Vince McMahon it.

Question is, who's going to be the Triple H that will make LTT followers go "wow, I like this" when he/she takes over?

If that's what they mean they're dumb. He's not Vince McMahoning it at all.

Luke probably

He already did step down as CEO. Which is funny, because there's a clip of him from the GN video complaining about the lack of time to make content... my friend, you were the one who created this working environment.

Nah, LMG isn't a corporation. It's a CREW, of cool people!
