I'm trying to understand the hatred and insulting...I know there is a history of scammers on this website, but I'd think since I've been around for 4 years (and longer on other retro forums) and have nothing but positive feedback from customers - that these kind of assumptions would be ridiculous.
It's a teaser. It's simply introducing the idea before its full, official release. All of the information has not been given because its a teaser...It's inherent in what it is. Allegations of dishonesty, empty promises and anything else are just flatly absurd. Every detail will be laid out completely and transparently...as always. There is no evidence to suggest it would be any other way, only the opposite.
In regards to prices and materials: we produce higher end products, it's as simple as that. All of our current Neo products are entirely handmade. This takes an enormous amount of time and it's something we do out of passion and a respect for craftsmanship. It's ok if a wooden Neo is not your thing...really. But - whether or not its worth the price it's sold for, isn't up for debate. I firmly stand by its value. Either way, I'm well aware that its an expensive item. I like the idea of 'buy less, but more quality'. I'd rather save up and buy something that's exceptionally well made, that'll be cherished forever. I hope this helps explain the perspective that I'm coming from with these products. "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten”
Ultimately, and frankly...it's pretty simple...if you don't like wood or aluminum...or the price...or you'd rather have a different CMVS or NES solution...or mod one yourself...thats ok! Fortunately there are a ton of smart and talented modders as well as other people making really cool things too (like the Omega). The retro community is only growing and every time a new mod, product or new discovery gets released, I'm completely stoked! We all have our own take on these things...and their available to everyone just the same.
I love the Neo forums and have made a ton of friends here but what confuses me is why some people have to act with hatred...insulting and bullying other members...posting ridiculously vulgar things. It's turns a really cool website for meaningful conversation about the things we love into a place where fewer and fewer people speak up because they think they are going to get bullied and stepped on. Why this kind of thing is continuously unmoderated remains a mystery to me.
