What do you think Panic means by successful?
From the PlayDate's site:
> Stock will be very limited. Sign up early.
It doesn't sound like they're trying to take over the gaming industry here.
- pushpop 7y agoI wasn’t expecting that to be their mission with a device like this. What I mean by “successful” is two things: 1. Have any longevity beyond a novelty. By that I don’t mean hundreds of hours clocked up; I just mean people will use it for more than a couple of hours before putting it in a draw to never be seen again. 2. Make a profit. Obviously including all the time spent in design et al as well. Personally I can see this both being unsuccessful in terms engagement as well as financially unsuccessful.
