Thanks for info!Toby was Vertex # 1 cheerleader.
Just heard too and Am P&^^$% !!! Thieves !!BRS just posted an update. It's official - Vertex is out of business. My sympathies to the people who got caught up with the Cerebra and lost money. I suppose the only bright spot at this point is that people know for sure.
For some reason there has been an excess of passion and a deficit of reason with this project since they announced its release 4 years ago.
if you look at the history, the Cerebra was announced in 2012 and remained a ghost product until 2016,(?) Vertex announced its release And there was a huge amount of buzz around it then. I remember posting some comments suggesting that people were being over optimistic and needed to temper their excitement but it seemed like any comments that weren’t glowingly positive would get labeled as ‘anti-vertex trolling.’
When they released some videos, they looked slick but revealed some features and design questions. Vertex had explanations for these, but they didn’t add up and still people seemed happy to plow forward.
After V1 was released, things looked promising initially and then went downhill pretty quickly. Tear downs revealed old components and Vertex soon announced a complete ground-up redesign. Their timeline for this was completely unrealistic but people still believed the company. Even as recently a few months ago, after 2 years of delays and various excuses, there were people who seemed to have complete faith.
My question is ‘why?’ What was it about the Cerebra and this whole saga that evoked such passions and lead people to seemingly put reason aside? Was it the Vertex name? Was it a psychological defense from people not wanting to admit that they made a mistake? Something else?
