“They were previously criticized for selling their products at high prices, they had to lower them, and now they are promoting them again.”
“It seems like they’re bankrupt. Nobody’s going to buy something that old from them.”
“I’ve been upset all year because it seems like they’re constantly raising money. I just ask that they release pre-orders.”
