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.

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

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.

"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.

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

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

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.

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 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._

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

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

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'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.

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.

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

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

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.

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 man really went on a full blown super villain monologue unprovoked

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.

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

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.

its insane how confident he was in that stream

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

That gaming/streaming pc hybrid idea sounds pretty cool.

Good to see a company getting what they deserve for once

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!

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

“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

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

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.

*a garbage pre-built PC company gets closed down* And nothing of value was lost

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

“Discount Starlord” Im fucking dead😂

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

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

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!!!

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

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.

If you actually know what you’re doing limiting power draw to the efficiency sweet spot is the way to go. I got my 2080 Ti up to stock performance while using 25% less power. However that is the same procedure as overclocking so just applying a power limit will reduce performance as well.

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

We smokin that artesian builds pack

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

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

"We can't afford," "Partially sponsored by." Guess you couldn't afford to give it away, period.

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.

They shoulda invested in virtual machines

This whole situation plays out like a Dhar Mann video: man breaks his promise to give away computer, instantly regrets it

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

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

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

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

I'm legit dtf with Muta Computers. I'll be the first in line to apply for a System Builder job. My qualifications? MY SYSTEMS RUN COOL WITHOUT UNDERCLOCKING THE DAMN GPU.

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

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

This brings “ima destroy this mans whole career” to a whole new level

I legit would love to see Muta buying the company and rebranding/restructure it to a Linux based custom gaming pc company

I would buy a Muta VM PC in a heartbeat holy sh*t

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

"That's going to be a 'have to shutter my business' from me dawg."

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

Speedruning bankruptcy

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

I work with multiple LLCs. In the US you only need an LLC in the State you are owned and operating out of to do business with the entire US, unless there is a State that has specific requirements for the type of business you are engaging in (see: banking, lawyers, etc).

I used to be one of their ambassadors. They lured me in with a promise of being sponsored with monthly compensation. They also promised me exposure and a network of other creators. After signing the contract they had me be an affiliate without any guaranteed compensation and threw me into a Twitter group DM with 20 random streamers. I quit a couple of weeks after. Incredibly misleading and predatory behaviour 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

It's all went to downfall with one PC giveaway. Damn.

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!

Honestly, I feel bad for the people who worked at Artesian. They weren't responsible for the dudes actions but now have no job because of it, plus harassment from the internet for simply working there.
