Artesian Builds was doomed from the start, it seems, because the CEO intended to run the company into the ground as he pursued a Twitch career over prioritizing the core PC building business of the company. Sadly, many talented employees have now been informed they no longer have a job - almost overnight - because of the actions of the CEO.
