    Well, if I was on the board or a shareholder, I would be much more pissed about patent infringment that should have been easy to prevent and hints at incompetence over lower than expected sales which is just hard to predict.

      If you were an invester or board member, you wouldn’t care about the patent infringement - Apple has historically done this and you wouldn’t invest in the first place if you weren’t okay with it. This one’s just getting more eyeballs and actual repurcussions but they’ve paid off and bought out multiple companies over stuff like this.

      If I were an investor I would be much more lenient with the excuse that the market is saturated than the excuse that we’re too incompetent to even maintain a presence in the market.
