They should have marketed it as a peripheral and not a gaming controller. That (gaming) should have been a bonus for people to discover.

The failure of this device was in the marketing. The Internet decided it wasn’t “cool” and they couldn’t recover. That device is still used by multiple industries to this day.

I think the online backlash against this device was my realization that I despise the unnecessarily negative internet.
