We should note that the subsidy is just speculation at this point, inferred from their knee-jerk reaction to daeken's work.
That being said, I was just thinking that Emotiv could stand to make a lot more money by removing the subsidy(if there is one) and embracing Emokit. The existence of a FOSS SDK would lead to drastically improved sales for Emotiv, despite the(possibly) higher price. Their manufacturing seems to be saturated, however-the EPOC is significantly back-ordered.
- icey 16y agoFrom my perspective, Daeken's work made me more likely to buy one of these devices, not less likely. It sucks that Emotiv chose a poor business model; and it's really too bad that they're too short-sighted to see how a passionate community of tinkerers and makers can be the road to their success.
