I still don't understand what this controller does, looks like it is going to get up and walk away.

It was originally designed to help disabled people game. I got to try one out last spring. I just couldn't get use to it. Years of gaming muscle memory are just too hard to change

And his business address is evidently his apartment. Genius. My kingdom for a webcam on the street in front of his place.

It would be a shame if he was signed up for a ton of periodicals or something, free of course.

It's too bad the product is getting shit on because the PR guy is such a douche

Or the panty of the month club. A former co worker had a friend sign him up for that, and they sent it to his office address.

And now every section of his website appears to have been plagiarized, lifted verbatim from other industry sources. And there are serious questions about whether his LinkedIn profile contains "mischaracterizations" of his educational level.

After reading his email replies, I'd say his education level is that of jethro bodean.

His apology letter to the guy who first went public:

Hey Dave,

I just wanted to apologize for the way our emails progressed from beginning to end , You caught me on an extremely bad day and I had been dealing with 100’s and hundreds of emails trying to explain the situation to everyone on where the product was and you just pushed me a little too much and I should have just apologized and tried to explain things better. Also I had a really bad day losing a friend to an overdose and the stress of my newborn baby and the Holiday ,missing my family and just stressing on getting product out to everyone and why it was held up in customs wore me out.

I am deeply sorry for any disrespect , aggravation or lack of information on the delivery date. We knew when product was leaving china and we were trying to adhere to a strict deadline but due to port issues and air freight issues. The units are domestic now and awaiting pick up at customs . So we missed the 17th deadline and I apologize for that but it was out of my control and besides me no one else was helping me handle the situation so imagine the weight on my shoulders.

I’m not asking for any sympathy just for some understanding and forgiveness , I’m human just like everyone else and made a mistake. I underestimated you and its cost me a lot of trouble thousands of spam emails , a lot of personal bashing , and internet spam and trouble and just overall stress with my wife and newborn. I ask that you please accept my apology as a peace offering I will refund your money and give you your 2 units/Avengers free of charge please help me to get some of this negativity removed or at least my personal name although its already all over the internet and the calls and emails will not stop but any help will be appreciated especially with penny arcade as Mike and edit his own website I owe him an apology too which I will write next.
