      That is how business works, yes.

          How do you propose business should be run in a money centric cap at list society then?

        Drop has been going downhill for a while now. Long lead, slow deliveries.

    I wonder if this means they’ll continue pretending that their Drop exclusives are “limited time” and they can’t stock replacement parts as a result. Or what it will mean for their Epos headphones since they are now owned by a direct competitor.

    Did Drop still own Geekhack? (In some ways Corsair acquiring Geehack would be the bigger story to me at least since Geekhack is one of the key places (especially excluding reddit) that interest checks and group buys are published.)

      That’s actually a really good question. I think Drop did own Geekhack, but I’m not entirely sure that they still do. I’ve been out of the loop with the hobby for a while now, so it is totally possible I’ve missed things.
