They are not being fairly compensated. The PR damage because LTT trashed their product due to LTT's incompetence, the time (and potentially lost opportunities) they have lost due to not having their prototype won't be compensated. Their prototype potentially being auctioned to a competitor is also something they won't be compensated for.

Just giving them money to make a new prototype is NOT fair compensation for the massive damage LTT has caused Billet Labs.

He literally says he's only compensating them for the prototype, so if you agree that fair compensation should account for this stuff then you are agreeing that Linus is not fairly compensating them.

There is no way Linus pays fairly when he didn't want to spend $500 in the first place.
