Can you remember the last time Microsoft wrote some micro software?
Blimey, Bud - you're scraping the barrel with that one.

Yes, it's not uncommon for channels to branch off like this and improve focus on the main channel when they get bigger. Thunderf00t is another channel that did it. I've kinda done it with my 2nd channel.

Quite the cluster**** this. When something is so emotionally charged like these two, it is best to look from a distance.
For one side, Gamers Nexus seemed to be quite stable in views and subscriptions and, according to Social Blade, the last week saw quite a dramatic increase in subs, which could be cast as a shadow on their motivation. Besides, I think he was butthurt with the comment against his channel regarding re-using data and decided to unleash the dogs, including appealing to emotionally charged terms such as disonhest, etc.
On the other hand, Linus' emotional and deflecting reply forum post to the first video put gasoline to the fire - especially in the light of so many receipts brought by Gamers Nexus. The follow up PR-pasteurized video does some damage control, but it indeed looks forced at times. Besides, by their own team's admission they have been rushing and slacking on production and quality of tests.
All in all, two kids fighting in the playground. One seems to have better reasons than the other to be in the fight, but the emotions will still make me watch from a distance. Fortunately the influence this brouhaha will have in my life is close to nil. I will still keep watching, though. :popcorn:
