A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

What "line"? It's a bit careless, but utterly irrelevant as far as their viewers are concerned. If anything, this just establishes that they don't communicate with the manufacturers to have their reviews cross checked and validated, which is good thing when it comes to independent reviews. And yes, mistakes will be made, but you can bet that there will be plenty of users of that product that would have made the same mistakes, so again, actually not a bad thing. Also even the manufacturer didn't know at this point that it wouldn't work. Only argument here is really that they shouldn't be testing prototype products, since that can always go wrong in both direction (e.g. substantial features getting remove for the final version after the review).
LMG leaving incorrect information in their video and only correcting them with an asterisch is really the biggest crime here, as those are intentional mistakes, not accidental oversights.
Either way, Gamer Nexus here feels extremely nitpicky here. Of all the things wrong in the advertainment tech space, this really is about the least important one. This is pure dramabait.
