...unless you're a tech reviewer that receives hundreds of products a month from people that never expects to get them back.

I don't know how to be more clear on this, this is a failure on LTT's part, no question. There should be better processes in place to prevent this from happening. But there's a difference between knowingly and willfully pawning off something that they knew didn't belong to them, and incompetently assuming everything everything they sell off has been vetted with the vendor. There's a large enough team that a miscommunication could have broken down along the chain, somewhere between vendor reps and the person setting up that auction.

Sure it's unethical, lazy, sloppy, plus any number of adjectives. But as they say: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"

Intent as in "I know this doesn't belong to me and I will acquire it and then exchange it for monetary value"

Your two scenarios happened yes, but any number of things could have happened before it that would remove intent to steal and exchange for money, like simply miscommunication between individuals (with their team size, it's not too far fetched to see that happening)

Thievery implies intent. I think I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt here and say it not being returned may well have been unintentional, through carelessness or straight up hubris ("I can do whatever I want with stuff people send to me!"). Either way, it's incredibly bad, but one is obviously worse than the other.

Ya, but it proves I lived through the 90's 😆

Sure, let's not teach about the history of the second largest population in the state...

To note: it's been having problems syncing with Steam for awhile now, and only workaround is to download a custom plugin from GitHub and overwrite the existing plugin and then hope the one guy maintains it forever...until GOG fixes it of course

I bet they're the same ones that don't want body cams or investigations into excessive policing...

It's funny, if you swap gestures with buttons in your post, I'd agree 100% lol
