When I fought Nvidia over this "editorial direction" push that they've been pursuing in our call, which I've recorded and I am prepared to release if I have to because Nvidia was also recording those calls and both parties were aware that Nvidia was recording those call because they were calls for the press.

Just to be clear, Nvidia, I am prepared to release them if I need to reinforce my statements today.

But in those calls I repeatedly pointed out that this whole thing of pursuing a certain editorial like pushed narrative; that creates a transparency problem.

There are probably going to be a lot of them in the next week or so.

He said in the video that he's reached out to reviewers across the world to see if different representatives mirror the same wording/phrasing. To try and absolve the representatives, and put the blame on the executives distributing these demands. Many confirmed his suspicions. So a lot of them are probably going to follow the example of him and these others, and release their own callout.
