    Forfeiture of revenue and a slap on the wrist civil penalty doesn’t seem like enough for selling fake PPE during a deadly pandemic.

      They only killed a small percentage of the people who purchased them. Please, think of the innocent shareholders.

      ETA: Look at the downvotes on this new post. The one on my comment arrived instantly. Not normal on this site.

          How fast does vote info propagate between your instance and others? Legitimately curious.

            No idea I just live here, post still only shows 2 for me

            Then again it could be this app which I’ve had issues with before regarding not loading all comments and some other things

            Occam’s razor says it’s probably that now that I think about it haha

    To be clear, I’m under no delusions that anyone from the company will see this comment, but this is enough for me to never buy their products ever again. So they have verifiably lost at least one customer for life over this.

    On the infinitesimal chance someone from the company does see it who has decision-making power from within:

    Fuck (capital F) your garish plastic crap with LEDs plastered all over it. Your products were a hard pass before this, and now I’m encouraging others to avoid you

        A lot of “I wasn’t a fan already, but this makes me not buy their stuff even harder” in these comments.

    Oh wow. Already wasn’t a fan of Razer cuz their build quality went to shit, but this plants them firmly in malice territory.

      Already wasn’t a fan cause their gaming peripherals use janky Windows apps. No support for Linux. That’s why I go ducky and xtrfy.

      The penalty is for all revenue made, not all profit made. So they still lost money on this product with R&D, production, etc. expenses.
