HARDWARE UN-BLOCKED
Nvidia blacklists Hardware Unboxed for not covering RT performance enough
https://linustechtips.com/topic/1279721-hardware-unboxed-blacklisted-from-receiving-geforce-fe-review-samples-over-%E2%80%9Cfocus-on-rasterization-over-ray-tracing%E2%80%9D/
Nvidia have officially decided to ban us from receiving GeForce Founders Edition GPU review samples
Their reasoning is that we are focusing on rasterization instead of ray tracing.
They have said they will revisit this "should your editorial direction change".
More to come

This is a quote from the email they sent today "It is very clear from your community commentary that you do not see things the same way that we, gamers, and the rest of the industry do."
Are we out of touch with gamers or are they?

I haven't heard every side of this story, and this does NOT jive with my experience working with NV for ~10 years.
But allegations like this are really serious.
I've reached out to my rep and hopefully I'll have something to share – or better yet, this just gets resolved. – LS https://t.co/tvkNMtLGcu
