> We were clear as early as our first conversation in January that the risk in trying to push to mass production of this size and on this timeline was immense, even advocating for a DEFCON 2025 release of this particular badge. DEFCON’s Badge Team remained confident that they could meet and mitigate this risk.
Assuming this is true it’s simple: you walk away. If you’re being contracted to do something you don’t think you can do, you don’t sign the contract. Anything else is a recipe for pain.
- kelnos 2y agoSure, but I can understand why they'd want to do this. If they could have pulled it off (and honestly it sounds like they did; the badges ended up in the hands of conference attendees in working order), it would have been amazing publicity. Arguably it still is amazing publicity, at least for the people who will end up believing Entropic's version of events. Maybe not a good look when it comes to people who side with DEFCON on this.
