News from Gamers Nexus. Including some part about the response from Linus regarding the previous video. Linus really likes to jump the gun and digging holes for himself.

    my goodness, they need to slow the video output rate so that they can carefully consider the content of responses to valid criticism.

      I think Linus is convinced that if they slow down at all, the entire company will collapse because they’ve grown so huge. They also ran up huge debt to build the Labs which will not start generating revenue for a long time.

        I’ve been wondering about that too; really not sure where the ROI was going to come from for such a massive investment. Sure, it enhances the videos, but by that much? Unlikely. Where’s the income generation happening on all that equipment?

          All the videos on the equipment. :p

          I mostly think this is the main thing about the lab. It’s content, lots of content, which he can monetize. His giant house. Lots of projects, more content.

          The data is a far secondary goal. The equipment would never pay for itself without the content it generates.
