    one of our team members showed me a forever mouse with the comparison to a watch. This is a nice watch, not a super expensive watch, but I’m not planning to throw that watch away ever.

    Then, almost immediately starts talking about Rolex watches as if they are not expensive. This woman is very out of touch with reality like all CEOs.

    This is like the lover who says “wouldn’t it be crazy if you and me had a threesome with your best friend”? Then claims not to be serious when the idea is rejected.

    I mean, they 100% do have tangible plans. And I’m 110% sure that active portions of those plans already underway as well.

    I think what they mean to say is, "the subscription mouse isn’t available today… I mean, unless you like, unless you wanted it to be or whatever? uWu…"

    Imagine it’s like your Rolex. You’re going to really love that.

    The fact he said this, makes you want to punch his smug face.

    That something so ridiculous is within the realm of possibility just shows how absurd the subscription landscape has gotten. It’s sad that they even have to clarify this.

      They have to clarify this, because their CEO said that was something she wanted to make. What they’re actually doing is covering their asses because of all the negative sentiment they’ve stirred up now. It’s actually just a lie to say they have no plans.

        Not just wanted to make, the original article implied existence of a prototype. That’s “putting into effect a plan” which, for fans of causality, implies a pre-existing plan.

    Logi CEO: “Heh, yeah, well you know, there is a rich tradition of tech companies pranking the public with silly, unexpected practical jokes on April 1.”

    “But sir, it’s August.”

    “Oh, well I guess that’s what makes it so unexpected, heh. Yeah. Unless you want a mouse subscription? No? Oh, just forget that I asked - that was, ah, part of the joke. Apr- August Fools!”
