tldr of the situation (From Reddit)

  1. Many reviewers didn't get their 9950x3d2

  2. Doesn't mean that they have been blacklisted, many of them don't even have beef with amd

  3. Seems like amd didn't have much expectations for the product and didn't make a huge marketing push for it

  4. Gn's basis for the blacklisting was that amd didn't answer their questions about "drivers" and directed them to pr and stopped replying. Gn then used the 9950x3d2 launch as a powder keg to exaggerate the blacklisting situation probably for clicks

https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/1sshpmp/did_amd_just_blacklist_reviewers/

That's grossly oversimplifying the situation. It wasn't just about drivers. It seems like you has some sort of axe to grind with Gamers Nexus. 

The tldr was from reddit which I indicated. But granted probably should have left #4 out lol. I personally don't have a beef with gn since I post their videos many times.
