Soulja Boy is selling video game consoles again, and he's already being accused of ripping off an existing handheld: "He does not have permission to rebrand our products and sell them as his own"

      And yet, not surprising…

  He’s not even rebranding them…

  He just charges more than orders one and passes on the shipping info.

  Like, he could have at least bought some up front and threw a sticker on there

  while its hilarious that he is trying this again, that website not only popped a text box that opened my keyboard automatically and then did another pop up after that.

  gross. I’m getting sick of it.

    Apologies, I don't get any of this with Firefox for Android + UBO. It's just a regular site.

      maybe its that voyager is opening the link in its own browser? perhaps I need to tinker with settings.

      thank you <3

  The biggest crime is that he’s calling them thr SouljaGame and not the SouljaBoy

  what a weird business for a pop star to get into. kinda sounds like a buddy of his went to him with a fire business plan and let him run with it.

    I mean, drop shipping does feel like it could be easily profitable for someone with clout and a following to peddle his upcharged wares to. At least he’s doing better than last time when he was immediately shut down because the product was illegal (included roms), or when he bought an atari nft that he thought meant he owned atari. I really want to know how much he paid for that nft that he thought he owned the entire company

    He was bred for war, but maybe he just likes to play retro games.

  If you look at the picture from Soulja Boy’s site, it’s clearly just the Retroid image run through an AI Image-to-image filter to make sure it’s not exactly the same. The buttons have random symbols on them, some of them seem to bend, the D-pad is misshapen and from a distance, the whole thing just looks like a slightly less detailed copy of the original Retroid image.
