How This Gaming PC Company Destroyed Itself in One Night

  • Artesian Builds decided that they didn't want to give away a PC during a giveaway because the randomly selected winner didn't have enough followers.
    That is how this whole thing started. What I didn't know is that it would resolve itself in me hearing from so many brave people about how the company wasn't actually the bad guy, but the CEO himself was manipulating so many people and factors to the point where people felt like they had to talk about it.
    This was one of the ugliest and saddest scams I've seen on the internet in when it comes to Gaming PC's and it made me unbelievably sad.

    "Fairly certain that is illegal"
    Yep. Sweepstakes must have the following conditions:
    1) randomized outcome
    2) free public access
    Every legit Sweepstakes you will see a small, free entryway to the Sweepstakes (usually mailing a letter to the company).
    Without this regulation it's illegal for either being an illegal lottery or false advertisement.

    I'm a now former Mod and Ambassador of Artesian builds, they removed my mod because I backed KiaPiaa and the 2 others poor streamers that got done dirty, I then terminated my contract. I'm actually embarrassed to say I own a PC from them. Then the 3 attempted apologizes from the CEO were laughable. Also the company's FTB has been Forfeited according to records discovered by another person on Twitter. I spent 20 months with the company as a Ambassador and was mod for over a year. I was one of the first 50 followers on their Twitch, nights where the CEO Noah was streaming with no viewers except me. I kept him company so he wasn't alone. I feel like I've wasted over a year of my life dealing with them. Sorry for the rant, just wanted to give my input from someone who's watched them grown from nothing to something.

    11:00 - If she never signed a agreement giving Artesian Builds ownership of the artwork she made, she still owns the exclusive rights to her artwork. I assume this because she said she was never given an employee contract to sign. As far as I can tell, she would be considered as an independent contractor. I would suggest she seek legal advice since Artesian Builds is selling her artwork without her (current) permission.

      Do a Google search, in your area, for non-profit organizations that take computer donations and then give them away to low-income families. I know of a place in Chicago that does this. They’ll accept one computer from someone, a truckload of computers from a company that’s upgrading their computers, or accept computers from companies that lease them out.
      They open the computers up, give them a good cleaning, replace or upgrade components as needed, wipe the drives, and then load Linux onto them. They use Linux, because sending them out with Windows would cost a fortune. They need people who know their way around the inside and outside of a computer. You don’t need to be a computer science major, either. A lot of what you need to know, can be taught to you. You should have a basic understanding, though. Linux experience is a big plus. It’s a volunteer (unpaid) opportunity, but you’ll learn a lot while doing it, and you’ll feel good for helping people out.
      Hope this helps! 😃

      Is that shit really that serious? I remember back in the 90s everyone was always trying to sell super mega zinc whatever. It's 2022, shouldn't cpu just be good put the box?

      @@Lildoc911 cpus are good to go out of the box. Pre-applied paste is a no-go for a lot of companies because it adds to production cost, is another potential hangup on the qc station, and can potentially get messed up during shipping. Pasting is easy and quick, it's not a big deal so long as you remember to do it.

    Great video, popped up randomly in my CZcams Feed. I’ve been a creator for 7 years, I am a Twitch Partner and a small streamer. If a company treats you as “your not good enough because of your numbers” for a giveaway or even to work with you this is a huge red flag. If the company is smart they work with all sizes of creators, it extends their reach exponentially. Work with business as a creator that scale the mutual benefits accordingly. Watch out for companies trying to take advantage. Keep at it creators & much love! ❤️🤘

    I was watching them one night on Noah's stream. They were doing a build for MVG Charity for an active duty soldier. Noah had stepped away for a few minutes (might have been getting food, don't remember). Someone in chat asked if this was the build for the veteran. The person in chat was told it was. The person then asked if they could use up all their bit points (this guy had hundreds of thousands of points) and upgrade the CPU. Alan (I think that was Noah's builder) said that he could. Now, if you look at the way someone can use their bits, one of the options was spending 590,000 bits to upgrade the CPU. So, the person spent all their bits (it was way more than 590,000). Noah finally came back in and saw this and his first response was no, you can't spend bits. I think at this point there was a very short discussion between Noah and Alan. Then Noah came back and said, but because it is a build for a veteran, he would allow it. Noah also made some comment about how this person got so many bit points.

    ive been building PC's for a long time, professionally and personally. i can assure anyone considering or interested in buying a PC, you can build it yourself, cheaper, and better than what prebuilt companies charge. i dont care which brand, or company it is, theyre all charging you well beyond cost, and youre getting some less than good components, namely PSU's, Motherboards, and 'lesser' parts. modern PC components are keyed, they fit together like legos its near impossible to do wrong. there is no aspect of PC building you cant do yourself, unless you have a disability like not having use of your hands. it takes 30 minutes starting with an empty case, and in the long run, youre better off doing it yourself since you will have the knowledge to repair and replace down the road & help others. dont sell yourself short, and if you have any doubt you can easily watch a youtube video and get passed it. Then you can pass on your knowledge to friends and family.

    A CZcamsr who gets very little in the way of sponsorship (apart from the games developers themselves) is Many A True Nerd. Cracking channel and so with it with their fan base its amazing

    This Noah is just typical toxic person that's rampant on the internet scene. Hopefully all this publicity will bring some legal action that will put him in his place. I know Jay actively asked for legal reps to get in on this.

      don't be fooled by acts and appearances though, even jay has a dark side in him. They are just very good at hiding it behind a camera. All it takes are a bunch of gullible youtube fanboys , fake it till you make it.

    I am actually looking to build/buy a PC as mine is getting to that time of being old (2016). So, thanks for the heads up! I always keep a look out for scams.

    V1 Tech is honestly an amazing company with great products, I ordered one of their backplates a while back and I love it. Nice to see them getting involved in a giveaway like this. An ACTUAL giveaway
