Where else would it be from and how is that relevant?
So LTT apologized and gave GN credit only after GN made it public and that's not proof?

Read the emails. Linus said he'd fix it. GN thanked him for quick action but 3 years later LTT still hadn't done anything.
Yeah, it is proof that Linus acknowledged it. Of course it was too late and he didn't do enough about it, but that was never in question.
All I see in the email is that Linus said he will speak with the writers to not forget citations again and put up a pinned comment, which he did, and GN thanked him for it. I don't see GN requesting any other action in the email. That's definitely not "hadn't done anything". It's not enough, but again that was never in question.
The receipts show LTT plagerized, Linus promised to fix it but didn't. Steve thanked him expecting that Linus would do what he promised but then Linus did nothing.
3 years later after GN publicized the unethical behavior, Linus then, and only then fixed it.
But he didn't. He promised to but never did until 3 years later. That's why Steve called him out.
Please give me some dates because I really can't see where the 3 years are coming from. 3 years haven't even passed yet from when the plagiarism happened
So he did acknowledge it. Which, may I remind you again, is all I'm saying, in response your comment that he didn't acknowledge it. I'm not saying he fixed the issue, all I'm saying is that he said he will, which you seem to agree with, so I really don't know what you are disagreeing with me about.
Your original comment is:
Which I disagree with, because in my opinion it should be:
I don't know why you are saying he fixed it 3 years later when the WAN Clips segment still doesn't even have a pinned comment. He did not fix it then, he did not fix it until now, and I bet it won't be fixed 3 years later, which will pass next week.
Man, this is exhausting. Thanks for trying to carry as far as you did. Some folks just really need LTT to be a bunch of villains, and will move the goal posts to get there.
Part of why I still have LTT shit a listen was because of how I've seen him conduct his company's focus, and course corrections, and how they HAVEN'T sued people trying to attack them.
"As of January 20, 2025, nearly 3 years later, there has been no public acknowledgement of the plagiarism, nor retraction of the content in the WAN Show upload with 2,000,000 views. The WAN Show upload and LMG Clips videos do not reference or cite GamersNexus either verbally or on screen at any point for the EVGA story. "

Sounds correct, he only acknowledged it in private by responding to the email.
