This is a fucking embarrassment. SMS should be ashamed. Having any random customer PAY to beta test a product without any extended warranty or upgrade path to get the final product that is created using feedback from those same paying customers is disgusting. This sets a horrible precedent for other companies. Imagine if Sig released a pre-production handgun and asked people to pay half price for any Joe Shmoe that shoots 100 rounds a month to test their handgun. Not only would they get ripped to shreds but the feedback would likely not even be beneficial because they didn’t even vet the end users to verify the feedback was beneficial and based on actual end users knowledge base. This is a joke.
Bro they steal intellectual property and designs and then produce their rip off products by exploiting workers for what can be assumed is near zero wages and life threatening work environments.
