Last month, RCL promised they'd finally ship the on 20th February. By then it was already being threatened by class action lawsuits and backers have already been demanding refunds. Not that RCL was doing well on that front, even without BBC's involvement. RCL's lawyers claimed that BBC was part of a malicious campaign to smear the company's reputation. Instead of the usual "no comment" response, the broadcaster was actually threatened with a lawsuit. After the project failed to ship September last year, explained away by some critical changes in design claim to improve the user experience, BBC contacted RCL in December for comments. BBC, in particular, was quite keen on keeping tabs on the project. That was nearly a year ago.Īs the Sinclair ZX Spectrum originated in the UK, British media kept an eye on the development of the Vega+.

Given that success, it was no surprise that the Sinclair ZX Vega+, a PC handheld incarnation, would amass an ever bigger amount of support, along the lines of £513,650, roughly $625,000, which was nearly 400% of what it asked for. (RCL), who is making the Vega+, already had a successful crowdfunding run way back in 2014 that saw a Sinclair ZX Spectrum TV console become reality. As it turns out, there is more to the story behind this rather controversial gaming handheld. Indiegogo has just stopped the project from asking for more funds through the crowdfunding platform, long after the project was successfully funded. The Sinclair ZX Vega+, which was supposed to be another homage to the old days of gaming, is definitely the latter. Some of those happen quietly, with some amount of dignity and recompense. It isn't exactly rare for crowdfunded projects, be it on Indiegogo or Kickstarter, to fall through.
