That I'm not so annoyed with. Their retail contracts would have had set due dates with penalties for breaching them. The backer headsets were giveaways right? They weren't promised when they originally ran the Kickstarter as I recall.

It wasn't just Kickstarter giveaways, but all pre-order sales. They severely underestimated volume iirc.
