Brainbug Omnitools Release to Less-Than-Stellar Sales

Despite massive hype and excellent critical reviews, New Delhi Enterprises newest line of civilian omnitools (The Brainbug I-III) has released to less-than-stellar sales. Where industry specialists and New Delhi were predicting sales well above 2.3 billion in the opening weekend, the line has barely breached 1.6 billion a week after release.

The cause of this disappointment is not yet agreed upon. Some economists are claiming that its near-three thousand credit price is to blame, while others are claiming a variety of other causes from the mundane to the truly unbelievable. Kravnan Thur, CEO of Messiah Omniplex, a rival to New Delhi Enterprises, has claimed divine intervention is the cause of the Brainbug's crippling sales figures in a rant that has already gone viral across the Nemean Abyss and Omega Nebula.

I will go ahead and bluntly say I am taking just a teensy little bit of pleasure in seeing this happen.

Further reading required on: Religious mythology; known or suspected acts of divine intervention in matters of competitive economics.

This one will consult the batarian and volus records at its next opportunity!

I'm not buying something named 'brainbug' because it gives me mental images of some terrible insect that likes to burrow into your skull and eat your brain.

Probably just me though

As if the price tag wasn't warning enough? I mean there is no way they'd spend 3000 making a civilian omnitool, even factoring in profit margins. They must be paying for the bugs' upkeep and expenses and all that. Keeping mind-controlling insects is expensive, you know.

you and job maybe.
that image is something from the guts of omega. i'd also say the name doesn't enhance their sales. that and the price.

I will point out that the Brainbug does offer a lot, and is probably the most comprehensive OT series not developed in the Republics. It's a good system and I really do love the OS they designed. And I'm saying this as a potential competitor. It's ambitious and really does a lot for the civilian field, but I will honestly say that for its price point it is not something to go blow several paychecks on over. That's what Serrice Council Custom tools are for.



I will also say that Petrarch will be 1/2 the price of the Brainbug tool at release. This is not an attempt at advertising at all.

I really did not need any more nightmare fuel; I'm already backed up a year, but thanks. Thanks a bunch.

On topic, though, I would never pay three thousand credits for an omnitool. I bought some POS for, like, 150 credits from some shady guy, and that thing worked alright, as long as I didn't do anything too, y'know, mediocre for an omnitool. I have two OTs, if anyone was wondering. One for home.

The [rant] that went viral? Completely fucking hilarious, by the way.
