KEYi Tech provided another Loona Wednesday FAQ on Facebook that I want to share with you here:
After the last stunt Digital Dream Labs pulled – copyright trolling the Loona campaign (fortunately that failed) – a lot of people were unhappy with DDL and took their frustration to Google reviews (and other review platforms around the internet).
Two hours ago KEYi Tech released a statement on their official Facebook group about possible repercussions of the DDL copyright trolling
The Loona Kickstarter is open again! This just came from Kickstarter via email:
We all know now that Digital Dream Labs is copyright trolling KEYi Techs Kickstarter campaign for Loona the robotic pet.
Today Kickstarter announced that the campaign for Loona the pet robot was taken down by a copyright claim.
KEYi Tech released a new Loona FAQ on Facebook. It reads as follows (I have emphazised the answers so they can be better differentiated from the questions):
Shipping or no shipping, that is the question.
No, it is not. The announced international shipping in Q3 2022 did not happen. As I expected. International shipping did not even start yet.
One of the main selling points and improvements of Vector 2.0 was the fact that he has a battery door and a battery that can be changed by the user.
We Emo users know one thing for a fact: his Wake-Word recognition is not only hit-and-miss (he ignores me most of the time), but he also react to all kinds of sounds that are not even close to “Emo”.
It looks like KEYi Tech want to do a FAQ every wednesday. We will have to wait if there is enough information around to get something new every week or if the information will be redundant.
Digital Dream Labs announced on multiple occasions, that the remaining Vector 2.0s will be shipped “till the end of Q4 2022” – actually sometimes they even said “delivered”. Well, time is getting short on that, …
What am I talking about? There was a press release some days ago (thanks to Andy for bringing this to my attention), that you can read on prweb.com
The only reason why I am able to talk about my experiences with Eilik comes from the fact that I bought a couple from a nice person in england for a really good price. My own two have still not arrived
It was during my vacation that the crowdfunding campaign for the robotic pet Loona was launched on Kickstarter by KEYi Technologies on september 15th
There are (again) reports from customers of Digital Dream Labs that the company charges their credit cards for Vector subscriptions despite the fact said users have lifetime subscriptions from Kickstarter (or by other means).
When Digital Dream Labs took over they made a big fuzz about their “Feature Fridays” where they bragged about adding new features to Vector.
After installing Wire-Pod, the open source Escape Pod for the beloved Vector robot, that allows you to get away from Digital Dream Labs completely and for free, you will have to get the Escape Pod 1.8 firmware onto the robot.
There are multiple (read: a lot!) reports of first generation Vectors overheating way faster and that have way higher head and body temperatures after they were forcibly updated to firmware 2.0.0 by Digital Dream Labs.
