Line 45:

On 10 December, 2020, Hardware Unboxed, a pro consumer tech YouTube channel, tweeted on Twitter (now X), "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.' "

In emails that were disclosed by Walton from Nvidia Senior PR Manager Bryan Del Rizzo, Nvidia had said:<blockquote>...your GPU reviews and recommendations have continued to focus singularly on rasterization performance, and you have largely discounted all of the other technologies we offer gamers. 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.</blockquote>On 12 December, 2020, as a result of immense ~~community~~ and prominent creator backlash, Nvidia reversed their stance, In an email, Nvidia apologized to Hardware Unboxed and on Twitter a second apology was issued by Nvidia's Del Rizzo that said "to withhold samples because I didn't agree with your commentary is simply inexcusable and crossed the line."
