The Gamers’ IS is a modified-version of the IS 350 F Sport sedan. Lexus, the luxury vehicle division of Toyota, has joined forces with Twitch user Fuslie to create the Gamers’ IS, a modified-version of the IS 350 F Sport sedan that includes a gaming PC in the trunk, an HD curved monitor in the passenger seat, a retractable keyboard and mouse tray, and a 3D-printed controller. Yet don’t expect the cars to roll off the assembly line anytime soon. According to a Lexus spokesperson, “It will likely become a show car and make the rounds of the auto shows once those come back.” The intention, however, seems clear — to appeal to the key gaming demographic.

But their Snapchat boasts backfired, as later that night the police began investigating them for murder. Detectives used the footage to help track the killers' movements on the night of October 20 2019, when 26-year-old Solomon Robinson was stabbed to death with a machete in Scarborough. And the video would ultimately be used to help bring a conviction against four of the men who stood trial accused of murder, Dawid Goral, 21, Callon Brass, 22, Kieran Watkinson, 19, and Stevie Low, 23. The other defendant Stefan Selvage, 19, admitted murder the day before the trial. The court was shown the Snapchat footage that was captured just hours before the appalling stabbing which shows the group at a party together where drugs, knives and a large amount of money can be seen.
