Streamer xQc has taken a gaming PC worth 14,000 euros ($15,000). He believes that the computer belonged to him anyway. But the owner, Adin Ross, has a different opinion.
The streamer xQc also sometimes dares to handle hardware. In the meantime, the famous streamer has switched to Kick
Some may remember, how xQc tried to build a gaming PC and failed. As soon as xQc dares to tackle expensive hardware, things quickly get complicated.
Now he has recounted in a stream how he “stole” from his colleague Adin Ross: he took a gaming PC worth 15,000 euros and went at the PC with a screwdriver.
Streamer had gaming PCs built for colleagues, xQc just took it
Which PC is it about? Adin Ross, who is primarily known for his controversial statements, had 4 gaming PCs built for a meeting with streamer colleagues. Value: around 14,000 euros.
Adin Ross himself first assumed that the PCs were only worth 10,000 US dollars. However, his moderator Citrus then informed him that each of the PCs was supposed to cost around 15,000. What exactly is built into the gaming systems is not known.
In a stream, the controversial streamer explained that his colleague xQc took a PC with him.
What does the accused say about it? xQc described the situation in a livestream and revealed how he “stole” the expensive computer. He took the expensive device from the event and admitted to having manipulated the system with a screwdriver and taking some of the components home. He allegedly dismantled the PC in the hotel.
What components did he take? In the stream, xQc burst into laughter and claimed that he arrived at the airport with RAM sticks and the graphics card in his backpack. He had removed them from the PC because he liked them so much.
However, he also defended his act and explained that he believed it was his PC and that it had been given to him:
I thought the computer was meant for me. I thought the computer was like… I don’t know! Guys, the hotel staff had to pick up the PC! So if I don’t pick up the PC, it will just belong to lost & found! Do you understand?
xQc wants to return the things and reinstall them
What happens next? xQc said, however, that he is okay with returning both the GPU and the PC. He would simply return to Las Vegas and reinstall the things.
Whether Adin Ross really wants xQc to tinker with his system is another question: the last attempt went so badly that one of the most famous tech YouTubers had to help him out of the predicament and save his gaming PC:
