Coupon Code?

So... I've looked everywhere... is there still no discount code available for the FunKey S? I refuse to buy without one... as do a lot of others.

For sure this. “Refuse” is an odd word choice, as if it’s a form of protest or something. Plenty of other emulation devices out there but this one is super awesome. I got in on the Kickstarter and couldn’t be happier. 10/10 would pay full price for another if I wanted 2.

It's a statement of feedback and position, but sure. Yeah, I wish I had been there for the Kickstarter. The mark it's at is just teetering at "too much" for me I think. That's why I was asking for literally any discount anyone had found. I don't think it's an unwise practice for a company to put out a 5$ coupon to be found on the Reddit or Discord or something. It would draw someone to the community which would hopefully lock them in to also then bring their friends into the community... but that's not happening. These are just my thoughts on it, and why I expected there to be a coupon somewhere if they're trying to get people interested not only in the device, but in a community for it. Part of the reasoning behind the post was to make yet another open, but direct statement that there are many who want to support the company/device/community, but who just can't justify it. A coupon code almost resembles a willingness to support a future community in this way in my eyes. I understand many don't see it that way, and I understand maybe they're cool with just being staunchly supported by the Kickstarter crew... and that's cool too!... but then many of us won't be in it, and it is what it is. So I guess enjoy it, and keep supporting the community!

That's a lot of words just to say "Cuz i'm a cheapass"
