    That’s exactly what happened.

    It was “keep it for further testing” before it got reamed with poor review, and then it was “ok send it back then”.

      didn’t qualify as a review much less a “poor review” – lose the provided graphics card, proceed to munge the cooler onto an unrelated card, complain when it doesn’t fit, blast it as a garbage product that no one should ever buy

        Yeah and if they’re going to mess it up that much the company might just take it back and send it to GamersNexus for a real review.

      “Poor review” is putting it lightly after how dirty they did that card. They probably wanted it back to give to someone to do an actual, fair review of.

      Also, they were told they could keep it for further testing, but not that they could keep it forever or as a gift. That LTT auctioned the prototype that definitely still belonged to Billet Labs was plain irresponsible.

        Yeah that what I mean, GamersNexus would have given it a fair review and not done an absolute ballsup of the process.

        And yeah, if they weren’t intending to test further it should have just been sent back.

          Exactly. Linus seems to interpret their conversation as though Billet were going to let them keep it forever.

          It seemed to me much more like, “We don’t urgently need this back, so feel free to run more tests if you want”

          Which turned into, “Oh, you shit all over our product and refuse to do more testing? Can we get it back then please?”
