A difficult decision indeed for every entrepreneur that tries something new. I guess Paccus might have looked at several different markets that would be viable for their technology. Their decision to focus on making a game-peripheral isn't strange when you think about it: they have technology that delivers a smooth FFB-experience, combined with very high accuracy. There's an existing market for it, in which die-hard simmers are willing to pay hard cash for top-quality products (though not €2400). I would probably do the same, since it's exiting to do. (But maybe I've just read to much 'Atlas Shrugged')

Oi swiss.. Artificial muscles. Now that's what I would call complicated and expensive technology
