The things reported by Gamers Nexus while serious seemed like mistakes, some bigger than others and definitely need correcting. But the whole situation with Maddison seems fucked up and if true would completely sour my perception of LMG as a company and Linus as a person.

Not much left, is there?

Sooner or later everything dies.

Let it die.

I’m pretty sure that if most of those people could do so, then they would.
