1 year agoI’m thinking probably, yeah. There’s always a market of customers who are fitting a kitchen for the first time, but I doubt it’s enough to sustain the expectations they built off the launch sales. They have other brands under their wing but I don’t think pyrex sales are high enough to subsidize the huge amount of licensed re-skins instant pot has been putting out to, as you put it best, people who already own instant pots.
Also, when the devs blacklist the key, the customer gets angry at the devs instead of the scammer, turning away future customers.
