Noooooo, I want this company to succeed with this, I really hope this doesn’t seriously impact them long term!
The playdates have unique serial numbers. Im pretty sure they could disable stolen units from ever connecting to the store. So, no season of games, no catalog purchases. The playdates would not exactly be worthless but Panic could probably track down the thieves if they sold the units.
I wouldn't doubt it to hear they're insured for this so it's not the hardest hit in the world.
