I’m just here to spread contempt for companies that rely on manipulative business tactics to function and encourage people not to buy one for that reason alone.

Analogue continuously limits production and comes out with all these higher priced "limited edition" versions to try to drive up sales and create a false sense of scarcity for their products. It's a pretty scummy business tactic.
