Everything begins in 2001 in Canada, when a company named EasyZapper starts making weird-looking convoluted remotes that are… overpriced… and can only be programmed using a USB cable AND a computer that has to be connected to the internet?????

^ put some gfx of like the evangelion intro making this remote look kinda esoterical or some shit

When the product was reviewed on live TV, the servers were not up and the host couldn't show how it worked.

So we're talking about an overpriced, weird-looking remote for nerds.

It wasn't the kind of product that had a wide appeal and by 2004 the company making it, now named Intrigue Technologies, went… bankrupt.

No, sorry, I actually meant

"Got acquired by Logitech for 29 million dollars in cash"??????????????????????
