Well that was dumb. But their handling of the fallout means I can point and laugh but also not feel any hesitation to buy other stuff from them if they release stuff I want.
Their whole Ghost case debacle, which I did buy into, was similarly handled well, I’ve been happy with the free replacement I got from them for that and it’s been working great for a few years now.
Dumbasses. But refunding and owning up is commendable, at least it seems to be from how they’ve framed it all.

I wonder how much they’ve lost in total. So many hours, injection molds, and presumably good chunk of the production. Surprisingly careless!

They mentioned they had 15,000 people sign up on day 1. With a $100 and a $130 option.
Let’s say 80% picked the $130 choice and 20% the $100 choice:
15,000 * .80 * $130 = $1,560,000
15,000 * .20 * $100 = $300,000
And that’s just day 1. They had 7 months of sign ups before ordering started.
