Gotta respect a Company expanding into the Speedrun community!

Imagine being a grown ass man still acting like that, holy shit that was embrassing. Legit costed a whole multimillion dollar company all because of a grown man's temper tantrum 💀

Muta PCs with VMs built in sound like a dream. No more worrying (or at least less worrying) about doing the VM gaming thing right. As someone that really wants to switch to Ubuntu but also doesn't know entirely how to properly set up gaming VMs, I would put money into that product as my main rig.

"we can't afford to give away multi-thousand dollar pcs to just anybody" good thing that's not a multi-thousand dollar pc build then isn't it.

Guy: *wins a lottery* Lottery company: congratulations, you won. But wait a minute.....YOU ARE NOT RICH!!! we apologize you are not getting money anymore

Muta's mood determines what color he's bathed in. Neutral is nothing, doomer is red, spicy mama Mia is yellow, and squealing like a school boy is green.

As someone who used to enter pretty much all the PC giveaways imaginable, them only selecting winners who've used friend referrals is the thing I feared the most. Seriously a betrayal of people's trust

Apparently the company was funded by his parents money and basically his parents are picking up the pieces based on the what the ex-staff were saying on social media and discord. Also around 50 staffs are out of job overnight and no way of getting their wages. Our discount Starlord did planned to bail out with customer's money and not refunding a single cent to the customers they have owed and in Gamer's Nexus video on the email back and forth with Steve and Starlord. He still got the audacity to laugh all this mess off as free publicity and wants to have a chat over "dinner" and act buddy with Steve rather than being professional. He still clout chasing even when everything has not gone his way. Unbelievable!!!

Artesian Builds’ CEO bringing their own legacy down all cuz he didn’t really care about the people that participated in those giveaways. That’s a win for a lot of people, and probably best his employees find new jobs, despite it not being easy to find jobs. Again though, it’s at least better the employees just find new jobs rather than working for that CEO if I’m being honest

It’s crazy, all they had to do was give a small creator a thousand + dollars PC but instead they chose to lose a multi-millionaire dollar company. Glad they’re actions caught up to them

What really grinds my gears is that this recent incident wasn't a one-off mistake. They've been doing it for a while with no repercussions before it finally blew up in their faces. They had countless chances to say to themselves "Hold on a sec, is this normal? Can we do this?" but they never did. Or maybe they just saw they could get away with it and never gave it a second thought. In any case, nobody can say the company didn't deserve this. I just hope all the employees will find another (and better) job

Remember, if they just gave the streamer that PC, nobody would have found out they were committing tax fraud, possible embezzlement, running on a suspended business license. They literally speedran the death of the company and possible prison time

i love the idea of Muta PC's, although it would most likely be completely out of the affordable pricing range for me (a minimum wage worker), I'd still be super excited and supportive of the idea that Mutahar has his own PC Company :)

I hope the employees get employed at a higher paying job, and that they can continue doing what they love to do.

This whole situation is wild. From insults to an actual bankruptcy. It's crazy

As an Austrian I can confirm that buying an BMW i8 is the *absolute worst decision you can do with that amount of money*

It was the CEO's fault mainly, the people who ran the giveaways wanted people to win but the CEO thought otherwise lol.

Artesian builds was the epitome of salvageable-yet-doomed. The talents and the employees were totally screwed by someone who shouldn’t have had the position of power. Ain’t the only company either, recently came across a company called “Build Redux” who didn’t honor a military discount because “it couldn’t be applied because prices were low enough already.” Truly a bad month for the image of PC building. Edit: it was resolved as of 1:55 PM PST 3/11/22. The fact that it had happened though, sussy.

“It takes years to build a reputation, seconds to break it, and forever to restore it”

I like how they were like "We're not going to fulfil our part in giving the winner the item because they're such a small creator it would hurt our company if we did do that" (which confuses me to start with) then they go ahead and completely kill the company which obviously hurts the company way more than _just doing _*_a good thing_*_ that they promised._

It's a really sad story. Watch the Gamer's Nexus video; 40-50 people lost their jobs because of a maniac asshole CEO. Also the KristoferYee Video was awesome.

Well not even RIP because they wont be missed. I Can Imagine the CEO hugging its Starlord Jacket and crying himself to sleep meanwhile he gets drunk pretending nothing has happened and still has a cool company to run.

my grandfather always used to say it takes a lifetime of good decisions to build a reputation, and it takes one second of a bad choice to ruin it beyond all repair

This is a fantastic example of the term 'Dont bite the hand that feeds you.' I feel for the employees tho. Not their fault their CEO is the human representation of a skid mark.

The moment you hear Muta laugh at the start of the video is when you know the video is going to be extra good today

In all seriousness Muta would be a great builder for computers, for streamers to use, extremely user friendly. Im all for Muta buying out a company like this.

14:34 didn't expect muta to mention mental outlaw! one of my favorite creators for sure!

Already saving for my future Muta PC. Thanks for going through this situation with a fine tooth comb- feel like it’s going to become more common place for streamers to look at tax registration of a company to ensure they’re supporting the right people before a partnership if they’re not researching already.

Really, all that needed to happen was a "I'm sorry I was being a jerk. I will reflect on my behavior and work towards being a better person. Also, I am announcing that I am stepping down as the CEO of Artisan Builds as I failed to represent the values that our employees and customers expected of me". I think that would have actually been the appropriate response.

This man really went on a full blown super villain monologue unprovoked

Love your happy laughter and thank you Muta for always including us ladies...God I can't believe this even happened.

According to several employees only the builds the CEO did or was involved with were having issues like the underclocking

I'd be laughing so hard at ONE guy taking out an entire company if it wasn't for so many employees losing their jobs! So it's more like sad cackling

I dunno why they even let the CEO sit in on the live streams. He was clearly not involved in their process as Artesian builds frequently reached out to really small creators to help expand their brand. Like it wouldn't make sense for them to deny small creators prizes when MOST of their ambassador program was people with

Regarding the business license, depending on where they operated from, they might have paid for the renewal and never gotten the license. I've heard horror stories of businesses fined and shut down because the renewal took months and months while they had nothung to show but an email about the received payment. And prosecution on operating without a license was handled completely separately.

First sign of a scammer: They talk in silken threads. Smooth operators are always up to something.

I refuse to believe Muta unintentionally made it say "sus" on the thumbnail.

The guy he mentioned, Braethorn, was one of their affiliates. He actually went on chat saying that it's unfair to compare the others to him because of course he gets more clicks, he's a techtuber. Noah didn't give a shit, so Braethorn quit the affiliate program.

The worst part about this is the "custom PC" part. Listen; I'm not a very technical person but my friend was still able to teach me how to assemble a "custom PC" in about 3 hours. It's arguably just super sensitive Lego's. You just screw in and plug in components in order. I get that some people are successful enough to genuinely warrant simply paying someone to do that for you; but make no mistake: it is a luxury. The average person just needs to invest a few hours into reading and maybe invite a more knowledgeable and experienced friend over and buy them a night outs worth of food and drinks. You don't need to pay people like this the premium associated. Yes. Yes. It's not necessarily that simple. Overclocking* is It's own thing. But that's arguably seperate from basic component assembly. But you know what. Plenty of people would gladly help you with that for a Benjamin. A lot less then what these guys are charging people.

I just think it's weird that the entire time Starlord was talking his buddy next to him wasn't like "hey you might wanna tone down the cringe a skosh" or maybe the entire time there was actually an inner monologue running of how much he hates his boss and how happy he was going to be to see him get absolutely rekt in the following days.

its insane how confident he was in that stream

the fact the company went to shit because of a giveaway 💀

Been watching since the haunted gaming days(on a different account) it’s amazing to see how far you and this channel have come!!!

If Muta is honestly serious about starting his own PC building business, all I ask is... does he ship to Australia?

Looks like the “small guy” just annihilated a shitty company 😂

Muta : "i would seriously buy artesian.." Me : oh boy,here it comes.. Muta: " i would build Linux based PCs with multiple layers of virtual machines" Me: i knew it!

I would be stoked to see a Mental Outlaw / SomeOrdinaryGamers crossover

I think I speak 🗣for everybody when I say we love how into detail you go with explaining things and it’s eye opening 🙏

Muta’s laugh in the beginning perfectly captures Artesian Builds downfall, laughable.

you know it's gonna be a juicy one when it starts with Muta laughing

You are awesome Muta, I only found you through the Save the Kids fiasco, but better late than never! As a console gamer who is interested in joining the greener PC pasture I appreciated your perspective and insight into this, and I look forward to your next video!

met a guy on Omegle that worked for artesian builds. You're totally right in this video, it sucks and he's a really talented guy.

Good to see a company getting what they deserve for once

I never regretted buying from Xidax, those guys are dope and upgraded me for free, so to speak. I have done more than my fair share of learning the overclocking ropes and this thing has been a rock for me. I feel I could totally build my own now, but you never know what you're going to get these days and a guarantee has its merits.

Great content Muta, love the way you break down the topics.

The CEO just wanted big name creators to talk about the company. I guess he got his wish...at the cost of the entire company. Oops!

This is a pet peeve of mine but I can’t stand it when people say artesian instead of artisanal. Artesian is a word that refers to a well or aquifer or otherwise upward flowing water. Calling a computer artesian makes absolutely no sense. Artesian builds is a good swimming pool installation company name.

The biggest question in my mind still is: Why is he dressed like Starlord?

Love the sim rig in the background! Looks like your really enjoying gran turismo!

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND KEEP BRINGING MORE TO THE STAGE, YOUR ARE AN AMAZING HUMAN BEING AND ARE LOVED!

great vid as always muta. not sure you’ll see this but your vids have made millions of people safer and more aware of the internet around them. thank you.

“Discount Starlord” Im fucking dead😂

reducing voltage doesn't affect performance, it's when you reduce clock speed

Your laughter at the beginning spooked the drive through lady when I was ordering chicken

Karma might not necessarily be the implosion of the company which seemed to be inevitable, but rather the epic timing of it.

hey man i wish you the best in hopefuly buying out the company and hopefully turning it around for the better

I think it's also worth mentioning, the "$10,000 PC" Artesian built for Mizkif crashed constantly and he ended up going back to his old PC within weeks of getting the rig

Muta: giggles at the start of the video Everyone else: strap the fuck in boys were in for a good video

I would love to buy my first gaming PC from muta if this turns into a potential business opportunity

Muta, lemme talk to ya for a second here. There aren't many people in this world that have intelligence, charisma, AND a moral compass. Those things almost never come packaged together, but when they do, you're gonna have a great leader on your hands. That's you, man. By no means am I saying you're obligated to perform the service of leadership, but people like you in leadership roles are what the world needs if we want it to improve.

I saw a comment on your tweet about buying them up and renaming the company to SomeOrdinaryPC. And boy do I like that

Love how the title card is just Muta laughing at the 'SUS' in the text, you can show this to anyone and describe his entire channel and they'll have the full context of what it is about.

We smokin that artesian builds pack

I subscribed Mudda!!!! 😎Thanks for the infos!

“We can’t give these to just any old body!” But it’s a giveaway though, that’s LITTERALY the point of a giveaway so that any old body can get one

They shoulda invested in virtual machines

The idea of having a PC that is built to be effective at running editing/Adobe programs and gaming is a huge appeal to me as someone who works with both. It always feels like I have to pick out a PC that is more effective for one or the other.

You know it's going to be a great video when Muta opens it with a wholesome laugh

A Collab between you and Mental Outlaw would be the most glorious thing ever

I just watched ItsAGundams video on them. This company was basically operating illegally or right on the borderline.

You just know that when Muda opens with a good old fashioned chuckle we are in for some goooood shit!

Funny thing is, the way their creator build worked was if people gifted a bunch of subs, the streamer would get better and better stuff

9:31 1)What is “E.V.G.A software.” 2)What does an “Over-clocking program,” do? 3)What do “10% throttles on G.P.A’s” do? Preemptively; Thanks for all you guys’ answers, I appreciate the clarification!!!

Kind of sad that something as small as a giveaway brought the company down. The CEO did act poorly though and didn't correct. Don't understand why the CEO was spending so much time on stream either,I presumed it was a very small business but they had 50 employees

Such a wholesome laugh Muta has. It always makes me laugh with him lol

I've been waiting for this video all day bro busting out the popcorn

This was super crazy to see. I was just thinking of putting in an order for a pc from them.

I would pay top dollar to get a muta built PC. I have been looking to do VM stuff get it all sorted out. and if someone would do it for me and tell me the stuff I need to do that would be awesome

I would so buy one of your PC's that sounds amazing!

I have been thinking about the split PC for days since you first mentioned! I need one with an AMD ☺️

That gaming/streaming pc hybrid idea sounds pretty cool.

You should definitely make your own computers! Your idea is absolutely genius! I’m sure you could make a killer set up

Lesson learned: Dont let someone who is obviously mad about something thats going on off camera in front of the camera!

I got my letter from them about the company filing for bankruptcy today

OMG i just pissed myself at 11:40 with the “stutters harder than Jimmy in South Park”. Best comment of 2022.

from haunted gaming to buying a custom PC company where will muta claus stop?

The CEO of artesian builds has so much ego it passes through Pluto lol

Oddly the other campus in North Carolina is listed as being a printing company since it opened in 2018.

That laugh at the beginning 🤣 I love you, man! 💖
