woah watch out dude, none of that has been confirmed. that could be libel
None of that is confirmed?!?!?!? - Please! :rolleyes:
show me a source other than a forum post.
I can confirm that and I have all the emails from CC to prove they were blatantly lying to us.
Is that enough?
BTW: Yes, we all hate the current situation. I'd love it if all original preorders had their unit before new customers could buy them right away.
However, it didn't work and the only way to ship old units is with the profit made from new ones (or the upgrade).
I took credits from investors mid 2011 to continue with the Pandora.
350K debts, which come on top of the 150K my company had.
If I hadn't done that, the Pandora would've been dead. No Pandoras for new and no more Pandoras for old customers.
I will have to pay these 350K EUR back one day. So I have to make sure the money is safe and not lost. That's why I can't simply ship out as many old preorders as I like, but only as many as the profit allows.
I would not be liable to ship out Craigs Pandoras, but it's what I wanted to do. Both to help his customers as well as himself.
There are many things I don't like how he handles the community, etc. But it's also a lot of pressure resting on his shoulder - and I know that everything would've worked out if CC hadn't fucked up.
So if you are complaining about new customers being able to buy a Pandora right away while you didn't get one yet: Yes, it hurts, and we also would like to have it in a different way. However, the only other option would've been bankruptcy. You wouldn't have gotten anything and now you still have hope to get it.
And with an upgrade fee you could even get it right away.
