I’m Done with AYANEO – Here’s Why.

👉Ayaneo has made some incredible handhelds—but their treatment of customers, especially Indiegogo backers, has crossed a line. In this video, I break down how Ayaneo continues to use crowdfunding despite being an established company, and why early supporters are being left behind while retail buyers receive devices first. From long shipping delays to broken promises, this is a pattern that can’t be ignored. We’ll take a close look at the Pocket Fit and Pocket Air Mini launches, how Ayaneo prioritized third-party sellers like AliExpress and even Best Buy over their own backers, and why backing Ayaneo on Indiegogo has become a losing proposition. Early adopters floated the company interest-free loans only to watch others get the same devices faster, and sometimes cheaper. This isn’t a hit piece, and it’s not about hating Ayaneo hardware. It’s about accountability, transparency, and protecting consumers in the retro handheld space. If you’re considering backing an Ayaneo campaign, or honestly, any large company using crowdfunding, you need to see this first. 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🛒Featured items from this video: 🛍️None! ✨Became a Member or Patron👇 🌐All Our Links: https://rh-go.link AKNES: https://rh-go.link/AKNES 🔎Browse our curated weekly deals: https://rh-go.link/DILLS 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🎵 Music by Jim Gray (https://ourghosts.bandcamp.com) and SoundStripe 🎞️Production & Editing by SonyWWDD30 (and Gary for Zu's vids...sometimes) ⚠️ Disclaimer This description contains affiliate links.
