$400k worth of Playdate game consoles have gone missing in Vegas


$400k worth of Playdate game consoles have disappeared in Las Vegas.

That's according to Panic, the hardware maker behind the palm-sized, crank-operated console, with company co-founder Cabel Sasser calling it "a bit of a true crime drama". Sasser spoke at GDC last week, when he revealed this news, stating pallets containing the consoles had gone missing in Las Vegas. Panic subsequently received a picture of these particular Playdate pallets "just sitting where they're building a Circle K in north Las Vegas," Sasser said.
