PGS Windows 10 gaming handheld - GPD WIN competitor

[ashcloud]

So, everyone who is a part of this humiliating action, those b**ters who can't compete fairly, instead of supporting the revolution in gaming, they are trying to eliminate us as a threat.

Those f***ers makes an emphasis that we do not have a prototype

WOW, I hope KS stops this campaign before I literally lmao.
What does "b**ters" mean anyway? Never seen that one before. And searching it on google came up with nothing useful.

Maybe baiters or botters?
[doublepost=1468743734,1468743486][/doublepost]Someone brought up another point of concern:

indstr from dingoonity here. I'm officially a $1 backer here just so I can post this warning (and of course I'll be withdrawing my pledge before the end of the campaign):
With their "we are under attack" update, PGS has just destroyed any shred of credibility they may have had left.
They are so quick to lash out at the community, and even use profanity in the process. Is this really someone you trust? Do you trust them with your money?
Do you trust them with your data?
If the PGS somehow does make it to market (against all odds), how do we know that they won't secretly install a rootkit on every device and mine our online banking info and sell it to Chinese hackers on the dark web?
After knowing what we know about PGS and how he likes to slander and use profanity, do you really want to buy a device from them and put all your personal contacts and data on it and use it in your every day life?
Seriously?
At one point, I thought the PGS device looked pretty cool and I might even get one later on if they ever actually existed. Now, I would never ever buy one ever, in fact if somebody gave me one for free I would destroy it with a baseball bat because I would be afraid it would be spying on me.
They have completely shattered any credibility they ever had, now and forever more.
Ricardo/Nadir/Whatever: You have failed. You may as well just give up now, change your identity and move on to your next scam.

Yeah, that makes sense, since they accused $COMPETITION of using spam bots.

Excellent expert is one of these batters that just seem to hit it out of the park.

Maybe he's just bitter.

I assumed someone didn't know how to spell "bastard" and by censoring it the spell check couldn't fix it either.

 

[ible]

probably baters, as in the master kind.

but yes, that is the only way this scam could be profitable if they actually made the device, by selling people's data.

Somehow, I like the way this project is turning pink.

 

[Alperoot]

Can we change the title please? This isn't a competitor to GPD Win anymore, just might be a competitor to kobe beef jerky.

Might be a competitor for the Smach Z

The title has been making me double-take for a while, I'd support taking the name of the GPD device out of it at least.

 

[Wrath Of Khan]

Yep, definately should say Coleco Sham-eleon competitor.

If everything they are doing/saying is sincere and how they genuinely feel they will probably blame all the people trying to "take them down" if KS pulls this, and they will have learned nothing, as it will just confirm to them everything they suspect.

 

[ible]

that's the best way to do things, try it and then blame others if you fail....

i can understand not working on a project if there's not enough interest (that's partways why I don't work on certain projects), but it's different when you start blaming others...

Stage 14
Dear Backers, we are being attacked!

Dear backer, be careful, we are under attack!

I feel involved only as the embodiment of reporting. the writing is of divine source and plain for all to see right through.

"Those rivaling dumbs are trying to prove that this isn't a prototype at all."

its just gold upon gold

its just gold upon gold

Comedy gold.

Ok, so someone made a comment on the PGS KS with links to posts on Dingoonity showing Alan Williams as being Kostas Volav, with photos of him on set of the PGS ad shoot. Also, posts showing Kostas saying he is in a movie coming out , but you can see him in an ad he did for PGS - he points to the PGS KS video.

So I log onto Dingoonity, and I can see PGS have logged on and are viewing the incriminating posts about Alan Williams ( the Product designer who then was the Community manager) being Kostas the actor. I can see them in the thread for a fair amount of time.


Then some time goes by , and they respond in the comments with this:

"
Alec Arzh Alexander less than a minute ago

Konstantin is a part of our team. We needed a person with charisma and acting skills to be a community manager. It makes sense.
Eventually he has become much more valuable team member than just a community manager, participating in product designing."


This is getting ridiculous.

First they say Alan Williams was the Product Designer in there video that dates back to at least April. Then recently PGS said he was the Community manager in the staff update(note that it wasn't the other way around). Then when someone said , hey , I thought he was the product designer , PGS then say, oh , yeah, he is both.

Then of course people say, hey isn't his name Kostas. To that they reply , yeah ok, it's Konstantin, we couldn't tell you his real name because , ah Russian political situation and Konstantin wants to migrate to the US. If that was the case, why did you just out him. Makes no sense.'

Then the incriminating evidence is posted which they then see about him being an actor. What do they say, ah , yeah ok, he is an actor, but he has charisma , that's why we hired him for the Community manager, then we found he is good with product designing. Remember, he was labelled as the Product deisgner way before being labeled as the community manager - ie not the other way around.

Oh, and lets not forget that as the supposed community manager - he has made zero posts on KS. Aha

Oh boy, what do I say. - Further and further down the rabbit hole we go.

I think you can guess that I find this hilariously unbelievable


Frankly, and I said this from the start, I firmly believe everyone in that PGS video is an actor. And that includes the members in the video they now claim to be still in their staff. ie Sergei - the engineer who cannot be found at all and Emanuel Johnson - marketing manager . By the way, Emanuel is listed as Eman Gardiner on Russian social media. Not that I believe either of those names are real. But once again, another name discrepancy..

Artur did have a matching social media account to his reported name, and he did say he was PGS's financial guy as PGS claim. But , Artur is also a) Not in the PGS video, B) The only person in Nadir's Friends list on his russian social media account- Hmmm

FWIW, it's not uncommon for people outside of Europe and America to have a second 'english' name to stop us mangling their real name. Often these are unintentionally hilarious, such as one Indian I worked with who decided that 'Hitler' was a good name.

So the fact he's using a fake name doesn't worry me. The fact they haven't shown any aptitude for designing hardware is slightly more concerning though, for any investors.

Edit: Added missing negative context - whoops!
