The shitstorm of a fallout has pushed the community behind Billet Labs more than they ever would have gotten had they just gotten reviewed properly. It may have sucked what had happened but I think they will be better off in the long term now that people are aggressively supportive of them. Funny twist of fate in my opinion.

    Yeah, I guess I was assuming the prototype was in a state where it would still work. Doubly shitty to auction off something that you broke for “charity”.

      I may be wrong but didn’t LMG put it in their tormach to shave off THERMAL MASS such that the block didn’t interfere with RAM?

      They knowingly destroyed a prototype in the video. Off course Billet has to cut their losses with this shit.

        I admit I never watched the original review of the product so… That might be a detail I missed
