EDIT NOTICE: I accidentally wrote "A1 Mini" in the meme instead of just "A1" out of habit. There's no proof for the Mini to also be affected yet. My bad, sorry. It's the A1 that might burn your house down.

So, more on the scam side than on the shitty, overpriced product side.
Yeah. It's a betrayal of trust in my eyes. They were the first company to get a genuine "plug-and-play" experience to 3D printing. They amassed a huge user base, then acted against those users' rights. There's no way in hell they win the lawsuit against them, so at least the people who have already bought printers from them should still be able to use them. But I would avoid Bambu like the plague from here on.
