‘True crime’: Indie handheld Playdate loses $400,000 worth of consoles

Playdate is an odd little handheld machine that offers a simple way to play interesting indie games, though it has gone through its fair share of production issues. Now major property loss can be added to that list of problems, as more than $400,000 worth of merchandise has seemingly gone missing. 

During a panel about the Playdate held at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) on March 22, Panic co-founder Cabel Sasser noted the company had two pallets full of the near $200 handheld go missing in transit. “It’s a bit of a true crime drama,” Sasser said, according to a report from Stephen Totilo’s Game File.
