So in the same week back in 2013 I did 2 things.

  1. Buy a Star Citizen package with the game and a ship with lifetime insurance
  2. Buy a 3 pack of hand built laser pointers from a local online store

Now the price wasn't exactly the same, but close enough that I considered them equal. A week after buying the laser pointers I get an email saying that parts were on back order and there'd be a delay.

A week after that, their entire online store presence vanished, and they stopped responding to emails about my order.

To this day I'm still more salty about the laser pointers, since at least RSI keep sending me emails with updates.

Should have called your bank and did a charge back. Takes a few minutes.

I should have and honestly might have, been long enough that I don't remember that aspect.
