Great video by GN, and what a case study in what not to do with a company. That CEO deserves every bit of BS coming his way.

That CEO is an absolute sack of shit. I cannot wait until he has to pay everyone back and is sued into oblivion.

Maybe he only got around to 3 builds a day because the builds were just that artesianal.

Steve and the team doing great work here. I feel bad for those employees who got completely fucked over by this CEO, especially the east coast branch who seemed to be pulling all the weight compared to Katz and the west coast group. It's good to see a lot of them have started up their own company now, so hopefully things are being ran the right way and it works out. Putting charge backs on your employees and leaving them with debt is some evil shit. Most of all I feel bad for the people who are waiting on builds that'll never get finished, with little chance of ever seeing their money back after the creditors get paid out (like dude's parents).

This dude and his Star Lord jacket just kills me. He wanted to be an internet famous so fucking bad. But, he'll have to settle for being infamous.

I remembered the initial controversy with them failing to provide a PC to the raffle winner. But I had no idea the decision to do so was taken on steam. Watching that clip made the CEO look like the most insufferable asshole on the planet.

With that sort of wishy-washy leadership, it's no wonder that the branch that was the furthest removed from him was operating at a better pace.

That was a great bit of journalism right there.

Oddly enough, I can say cryptocurrencies were the real nails for the coffin. Even after the refunds, even after the shit way they handled that debacle with streamers. They could have weathered through it if they could allocate enough gpus to keep going. Everything snowballed because of lack of stock.

Damn. And here I thought that he, and his company, were just douches that think to high of themselves. I got that impression because of their giveaway bullshit.

Now I have a complete different view, thanks for Gamer Nexus. Their CEO is a complete shithead and I feel sorry for everyone involved in this mess.

I had to imagine his parents living the fallout from that stream at first, but they seem complicit anyway.
I noticed how Steve carefully sidestepped the discussion about the parents, he mentions that they were active in the management (or perhaps even micromanagement) to a degree and that certain payments were made to them. Hard to deduce based on this evidence whether they were complicit from the start or just supported their kid's megalomania.

It's funny, I watched the day before I received a letter from the California attorneys that shows pretty much everything Gamers Nexus has reported. all the transactions and lawsuit held against the CEO. I am lucky that I got my PC from them before all this shit happen and feel for those who won't get the
PCs they ordered or sent for RMA.

All time self own. Historic. What a clown. Condolences to anyone that was just a tech or CSR doing their thing while their boss burned the entire operation.

What an absolute shit stain the CEO is. I feel bad for everyone that was involved in this.

Good to see the east coast team pushing ahead with their new company at least.
