For what it is worth, when it was presented to us we were the drivers of selling it as a Beta. It probably wasn't apparent to people who were not paying close attention but almost all of our competitors marketed and sold it as a full retail product and no mention of beta.
The only way I would approve us offering it was as a heavily discounted beta product. Not because I didn't believe in what Vertex was trying to achieve but simply because I know controllers are complex, used in a million unique configurations and anything this complex was bound to have some issues. The out of the box almost "never fail" standard is difficult to meet. That said I think we would have all liked to see a more rapid evolution from beta to alpha to retail ready.
As to the suggestion above, we would never offer a "beta" product again because I don't think the expectations of what you are getting could ever be clear enough to meet our standards. It has also made us more cautious of offering newcomers to the market as well. In this case, I don't mind being last to market. The Trailblazers, who want to discover new territories and risk getting shot in the back will probably have to buy from our competitors first.
So the big question is if we will sell the Cerebra when it comes out. I am not even going to spend much mind share on that question or any of the other companies who have been telling me for years they will have a controller. When one is in my hands the team will review it to the best of our ability and decide if it is ready to be offered to customers who trust us to look out for their interests. So if we do offer it, it will be because we believe it to be of good value and ready for retail ready use. Meaning as good or better than similar products in the market.
Chipping away is the short version. Good updates on the Beta forum at leastBesides crickets?
My friend told me just yesterday there was a post on the forum asking the owners willing to test for bugs and they would not be receiving functional units? This is just bonkers.
Nada. Waiting on tracking on my test unit that supposedly shipped Friday.
Waiting on my test unit that was supposedly shipped Friday... I’ll update when I have something solid.Nah just ask Toby; I’m sure he will have a explanation answer for you
;Vomit
They asked for volunteers for a limited release of 10 or so units to basically try to break them before a broader release. Dustin Cross has a unit that he’s been testing for some time now. They are taking cautiousness to a new level (I hope).My friend told me just yesterday there was a post on the forum asking the owners willing to test for bugs and they would not be receiving functional units? This is just bonkers.
Tobe71, I hope all your efforts pay off at some point. What started out as outrage then shifted to Comical and is now just plain Sad that a company could string so many consumers along for this period of time. Then continue the same shenanigans.They asked for volunteers for a limited release of 10 or so units to basically try to break them before a broader release.
At least the expectations couldn’t be any lower. Ha!
And then their forum site goes down? It really is almost comical.
