I was told their development costs was around $10,000,000. Don't know how true that was... It was clealry huge as anyone that has ever developed a physical product understands.
But the idea itself was retarded. They had an aging, outdated library of videos, they were still streaming as WMV and Real and the trying to charge 3x as much to access the same shit people were already turning away from in droves.
I don't think they had many options once it was done to recover costs. It was a weird abortion that failed from day 1, it was poorly marketed and the idea of putting your penis into an electric powered, mechanical object is something that very clearly only a disturbed few would even consider.
Like all the others that rose and fell in this industry from the early days, AEBN always was a one trick pony.
