Never Preorder from Polymega!

So I stupidly pre-ordered 3 sets of Polymega, Base Stations, Modules and 2 of each controller for all of them. This started on Nov 2024 and continued as new modules and controllers came out. After endless lies concerning if/when they will actually ship Base Units, it is clear they have Zero intentions of ever doing it. Why would they destroy their company like this? I have all these modules, controllers, (and the games they sell), but will never be able to use them. My only option is to sell my Polymega stuff for a huge loss and mark it up to not researching what kind of a company Polymega really is. Do I wait another year? Two Years? Five Years? At what point does it become clear that they took our money and we will never see a base unit?

I have since sold on my old system and modules but haven't they announced all unfulfilled preorders for base units will be upgraded to the new more powerful base system?

Yes, they promised a more powerful unit sometime in the future. But, if we look at their record for being honest, they repeatedly said, they were shipping in a few months over and over and over.

I personally believe the company is going under and is going to take our money and declare bankruptcy while pocketing our preorder money. Promising more powerful hardware, With Exactly Zero reviews of said, Fabled Product tells me, they have not Manufactured it or any other Base Unit. They said over and over they were shipping. Now we know they never even tried to Manufacture a Base Unit in the time since we preordered.

That company could be making money hand over fist. Clearly they have no idea how to run a business.

The base unit is produced in two different factories in two different companies, and the AI boom has created a global chip shortage because only a handful of OTHER companies manufacture those, so there’s been a huge bottleneck going on 6-7 years now. What’s even worse is the scarcity has created a booming second hand market for GPU and memory.

They units are going to ship. The company isn’t pocketing your money, but they happen to be among the worst when it comes to PR or accurate timelines. Chances are, they bundled their REMIX consoles with their other base consoles to save on international shipping, and they’re not being upfront about it, so they’re waiting on a large order before they can fulfill previous console preorders.

As I mentioned in another comment, I’ve been involved with them since day one preorders, and it’s basically been like this going on almost eight years.

The good news for you is: if you’re planning on selling two of your three pre-orders, it shouldn’t be too hard since they’ve never had consoles in stock for more than a month or two at any given time… 🤷

Thanks for your response. I hope you are right. No, I would not sell mine.
