Dear backer, be careful, we are under attack!
During the last days our project and all web pages were brutally attacked by spammers. They aim to:
- smear our status
- confuse our backers
- make the backers leave our project and so contribute to their own product's development.
The main goal they're obviously trying to achieve is blocking our campaign.
They spam endlessly trying to smear as much as possible. We're almost sure you'll see their filthy comments once this message appears.
One of their principal "arguments" to make you leave us is "absence of prototype" as they call it. However, the link to the prototype has been posted on our Kickstarter page since the compaign began. By the end of the campaign we'll try to show you the renewed version of the prototype.
To those who desperately try to smear our campaing (our competitors) we advise to apply their forces and means (which they spend to hinder us) to create a decent product, able to meet our competition! As it's absolutely clear now that your present project looks quite miserable, let's face the truth.
The next update will contain the information about our production and investment partners.
Thank you for staying with us! We'll never let you down! ;)

Why use PLA's photo? I feel strongly offended. Your probably don't mean it, if you can change it, please do so, or make an apologize on next update. The consequence maybe huge, after all China has a large market, once you succeed.
BTW, this update seems do more damage than help.

Remember :
"PGS LAB Creator 7 july :"
"Our dear backers, I have something important to tell you.
Nearly 2 years ago the idea of PGS was born in my mind. I discussed with gamers around the world, discussed with another engineers, I've made hundreds of tests of reference devices. I created a compact team of people to whom I trust. We were driven by one goal and idea. The idea kept clarifying with details, something was added, something removed. I've visited tens of potential investors, the most of them were agree to invest the project only if we develop the device exceptionally on Android and if we significantly raise the cost. Such a perspective didn't satisfy me, I wanted to create not just a high quality device but also an affordable one, for many people could buy it, its cost would be fair and the device would have groundbreaking features. That's why we've come to Kickstarter.
This funding platform isn't a goldmine for us, Kickstarter is a tool which is intended for the people all over the world to invest in creating the future and the truly revolutionary products.
I'd like to say thank you to all of you who believe us, who also think that the future of portable devices will be driven by such things as PGS. The future is being built by your hands.
Now a word for those who don't trust us and maliciously trying to humiliate and insult our project.
Cancel your pledges and disappear please, this project is a clear SCAM. Isn't that what you think? We don't need any cent from you. Later, if we manage to release the prototype in time, do not return to our project. Cause anyway it's a SCAM for you and the prototype is nothing else but the case from 3D printer and the internals from another finished devices. After the campaign ends and some time passes, our YouTube channel will show the prototype based on a custom PCB. At that time do not make a preorder, don't give it a like, you just close the page and go away. At the beginning of the next year, when the backers will get the first devices and when the device starts selling on Amazon, do not buy it. It won't be that device you want to see and, by the way, it will be a fake.
During these 7 days, day after day, instead of helping our guys developing the prototype, I keep convincing you, explaining, again and again convincing the skeptical ones. I'll remind, if you have just a bit of disbelief, feel free to cancel your pledge. You can play games on PS Vita and 3Ds (by the way, these are cool devices), at least you can play on Android portable devices, do not believe and do not wait the PGS.
Even if after this post all backers go away and the campaign fails with 0 dollars, anyway we will finish and release the PGS. We will do it because we believe in PGS.
That's all I had to say."

@PGS LAB
This message always disturbs me and your recent news does nothing to the things I still leaves you time to show it as something concrete because I still believe in the project, although for now the doubts and all spirits, for you to give us elements that draws you trust.

This is very unprofessional. Why didnt you just skip this update and post what youre posting in "the next update," this update?
People are only "attacking" you because youre giving everyone ammunition to do so, and doing absolutely nothing to defend yourselves other than using words. Gaining trust requires showing real progress. At this point, youre losing trust if anything. Im more interested in projects like GPD WIN and SMACH-Z because theyve at least shown actual progress. I put my money on the table and it seems to me you just want to take it and run. None of your members have any credible history. Multiple have fake identities. Numerous technical discrepencies (you didnt research the fact that you cant OC an ATOM chip, but you made it a stretch goal anyway?) on your website and even this KS campaign scream scam. I never thought id say that. I really wanted this to be real. Its quite unfortunate. But maybe the interest generated in this KS campaign will spawn some REAL projects, unlike this one.

It seems to me tha, rather than engage with people who you think are attacking you, you should simply provide as much info to backers as possible. That simple act alone would quiet a lot of the doubt I've been reading. Good questions are brought up, like who the investors are and such. It seems a small matter to simply update your status with a lot of relevant info. Otherwise, all you are doing is feeding the trolls in addition to keeping backers in the dark. Your project is fairly well guaranteed to succeed. It would be highly improbable for you to lose enough backers to not meet your goals here.
Anyway, just my perspective as a backer. I personally would like to see the information that has been requested as well. I also would rather not have to get this sort of update in my inbox again.

Hi. Open your eyes please, and counted to the end. It is written there:
"The next update will contain the information about our production and investment partners."
Gr8one about 7 hours ago
very professional. Nobody is trying to confuse anyone. People just want to see some truth from what looks like more and more an obvious scam. Instead of these BS updates why don't you try to show more about the project or is it because there is no project and there never was...
14 days to go and still not a real update with any verifiable information.
PGS who are your investors, do you have any proof that this investor is backing the development, first batch manufacturing, and warranty (very risky for an investor when you show little beside concept, and no execution)?
who are your partners?
Have you made request for proposals from any engineering firms?
Have you sourced any parts, and what is the brand and model numbers?
Have you contacted anyone plastic and injection molding and who are they?
Why isn't there more information on your team and any successful projects they have worked on (like 99% of other kickstarters)?
Why can't I find anything about Sergei Kirimov your supposed engineer?
Why only words and no images in your updates like other similar projects (pictures speak more than words)?
Why haven't you shown more of the original and the upcoming "prototype" (soon is just stalling at this point)?
You fight on comments and type hollow words and to improve your credibility you need to show evidence. You have had half the campaign and we have asked every day for these things and you have done nothing.
