General discussion • Re: No RPi 5 for me.

IPO is a go?
No RPi 5 for me too. Whatever little doubt I had left to get one evaporated in an instant.

Hardly news. Would have happened sooner were it not for pandemic supply chain disruptions. They've prioritized commercial/industrial clients for quite some time now and that will no doubt continue. As always good things come to an end and it's been a good run for hobbyists/makers.

I don't understand this reaction. Company's are in business to make money. RPL is in business to make money. All their competitor's are in business to make money. If they don't make money, they cease to exist and in RPL's case that would make me sad.

I think you misunderstand. Having myself once been a pre-IPO share holder I fully understand the dynamics and necessities of corporate evolution. My only point is that it changes a company and I believe the primary focus necessarily changes to prioritize the needs of the largest customers and stakeholders. Not good or bad necessarily, just different.
