Logitech has ‘no plans’ for a subscription mouse
Logitech has ‘no plans’ for a subscription mouse
Many people did not like that idea.
You're viewing a single thread.
So it sounds like they did have plans, or at least ideas, for it but are now backtracking after the 100% deserved backlash.
Yep, that's what I like to call a soft release
Trial balloon.
This one happened to be made of lead.
every company brainstorms at some point and come up with a few good and a lot of bad ideas;
it doesn't make it any closer to being a reality, the only difference is that this was made public.
They were running it by to see if the host will accept the parasite. They will be back folks
Some ideas are so bad you make sure they never get released
The new CEO had the beginning of an idea in an interview. The interviewer tried to push back while still keeping the interview going, but it became messy real quick.
If that's the new CEO's first idea, good luck, Logitech.
Patel: I’m going to ask this very directly. Can you envision a subscription mouse?
Faber: Possibly.
It was so bad Nilay Patel had to apologize (semi-seriously) about causing a news cycle about a mouse.
Same thing happened earlier this year with Wendy’s new CEO. His brilliant plan to make a name for himself was rolling out dynamic pricing. After days of well deserved backlash Wendy’s had to come out and walk it back while insisting they had never planned to use this to do lunch/dinner surge pricing.
Isn't that what pizzerias and such often do, though, to get more customers in throughout the day? Where I live, a pizza for lunch is often like 20-40% cheaper than a pizza for dinner, and I think that's actually alright.
They were just throwing it out to gauge reaction. They won't give up on the idea just yet.
Still 1000% have those plans, they are just going to get quiet about them externally for a bit longer now.
