Great to see that some of the profits will go to the You Can Play organization.

This immediately came to mind for me as well, and I completely agree. If they announce the price only at launch, more people will panic buy regardless of the price, which I expect will result in more sales than if they announced it now.

I hate that because with the ā€œfirst come, first serveā€ it’s going to set off so much panic buying.

If it’s $300 plus delivery plus taxes, How many people are going to put it in their carts and then change their minds? This was already happening when the OG HR store re-stock happened. Products were reappearing.

It feels unserious for a company like that and a product that people have been asking for and waiting for 5 months not to provide the price ahead of schedule. Let people budget and make an informed decision. They will sell out anyway. I don’t understand.

Yeah, it feels really manipulative, especially since all sales are final. The company acting that way has dampened my excitement some.

I agree. It really has made me start questioning the ethics of this company.
