I'd be highly disappointed if they do. Their Super Street Fighter IV controllers are GOAT.

was waiting to see if their hdmi wireless headset was gonna be any good

Did some more research. They made their own version of the ouya?



I wonder how much that set them back.

What in the hell made them do this?

I guess the Wii U tanking and not needing/selling any peripherals hurt them pretty bad after the golden era of selling simple plastic crap to unsuspecting new Wii consumers.

I know MadCatz isn't doing super well, but their dedicated online store disappearing/ not sending out orders properly isn't part of that. Their online store front has always been a glitch filled mess, and they're actually working on moving all of their stuff, including arcade stick parts, to a dedicated Amazon store front.

I bought a te2+ recently because I knew they weren't doing well and I didn't wanna risk not having a ps4 stick if they went under

Micro-consoles were going to be the next big thing back in 2012-2013.

Specifications wise the MOJO was a decent device, but it was horribly overpriced ($250). Stock Android also wasn't ready for the big screen.

Man, didn't realize that they owned Saitek, that's actually scent gear. Plus their arcade sticks were quite good (TE/TE2).

I am almost positive MarkMan left on his own, had been planning to for a while and stayed as long as he did because he wanted to see thier new product line through.

I posted in July of 2015 that I had plans to leave. They actually did me a favor and laid me off. Because of this, I was able to file for unemployment and receive a nice severance package. Had I left/quit on my own, that wouldn't have happened. They knew I was going to leave, but they still took care of me. I appreciate that.

So Daigo is now RedBull Daigo.

So Daigo is now RedBull Daigo.

not yet anyway

Daigo hasn't left Madcatz -- it looks to be a partnership with Red Bull while he's still sponsored by Madcatz. (MarkMan also confirmed this in the stream chat, for anyone wondering.)
