Jitstark Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Gotta say, I'm kinda sad about that. Eniac and Tankers were good reads. mrwoogieman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are banking on people wanting the books for the readability then limiting in the way they have hinders that possibility. But I do agree, they are good reads. @ygogolak not sure if cbr has more info than others but this was posted just recent. https://www.cbr.com/bad-idea-announces-closure/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a shame they've packed it in instead of changing the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksR Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 If they weren’t selling enough books they should have just made them easier to get. 🤷♂️ Did they even make “not first prints” for any of the books other than eniac 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They announced one for Whalesville. Considering that they hinted at the annoucement of Wave 2 when they said Eniac 4 was going to be delayed, and the "as we know it" caveat in the announcement, and the notion that Eniac #1 was a lot more successful than they were anticipating based on the initial order numbers, and that they sent some financial support to their retail partners early in the pandemic, I'm with everyone that thinks this announcement isn't them folding, but rather a metamorphosis into something better.
