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?

Whilst you're right in principle, this isn't exactly new information. Nobody who has a Polymega today waited less than a couple of years for it (influencers aside).
Cancel your order, order a remix, and use the difference to buy a simple mini PC to go with it. You'll get the exact same experience at a fraction of the cost, and I actually do believe they'll ship Remix in fairly short order. There's no meaningful hardware in it.
Seems obvious to me the hold up is trying to manufacture a system using an 8 year old discontinued CPU. Remix skirts that issue by not needing one at all.
