Gandalf wept...

Massdrop was interesting, as a place to get stuff you couldn't get elsewhere easily (even if I never bought something there, I considered it multiple times and I think I had some things on my wait list). Is there already something like a successor platform? Drop.com as a site for branded corsair gear is completely useless.

In other words they’ve shut it down, and are going to use the brand recognition to hawk as much low quality gaming merch as they can.

Sad to see it go, but it had degraded significantly from the Massdrop era. It used to be a place to get a decent discount on pre-orders from good to great brands, but it slowly became nothing but second rate computer accessories.

I still have most of the things I bought from Massdrop - pocket knife, leather belt, headphones, etc. Those products lasted.

I think I got a really cool wallet and notebook from Hand & Sew through Massdrop many years ago. The wallet is long gone but the notebook is still around with a wonderful patina. It used to be a really cool site for unique items. I stopped using it when they had a falling out with Input Club and it seems like they've just gone downhill since then.

this is terrible, imho. defeats the purpose of the platform. i'm sad for 6XX series headphones :c
