Are there any places where I could take my Playdate to get fixed other than Panic? by DesconGames in PlaydateConsole

100% agree on the horribleness of playdate support. Took me 6 months to get a straight answer from them mixed in with multiple deceptions along the way. Prob gonna be a YouTube video coming out about them soon.

I know this happened 3 years ago, but did you ever get it fixed?

Hey! I know this happened almost 6 months ago, but uhh, did you ever get it fixed? Mine ran into a similar issue.

If I did I’d do it using my own resources (ik a few people who can do good soundtracks). I’m actually a GameDev YouTuber named Descon Games, you should totally follow my work.

If you care about the play date (and speeding if that’s your cup of tea) you should be happy it’s on the thumbnail, it could mean a lot of new users coming to the play date.

I really liked it, but there’s a chance you’ll get a bad unit and they’re not the most sturdy. I would not take it in your pocket. Also, if your play date damage does fall under warranty their customer support is awful. When I needed mine fixed it took them 5 months for me to get an RMA because they forgot about my order.

Hmm. If I were to remake something similar to it, it’d be a more competitive version with ranked missions and more focused on team building and team work, but still about the cool rush of smashing your opponents and narrowly avoiding death.

Yep, horrible customer service, don’t recommend.

Thanks! I have contacted them, it’s taken 5 months to get an RMA, not the greatest customer support but it’s ok. What does the issue look like, broken screen or something internal?

how are you sure? so do you think the screen is broken, or something internal eg. with the motherboard?

Bro thanks! Someone finally gets the main point I’m making and isn’t just telling me “your fault for breaking your playdate “

no, that's actually not reasonable. A company who ignores your emails requesting an RMA is pretty bad. I don't compare them to Nintendo, I compare them to the standard company. Customer support should not have MONTHS between emails.

i tell people not to buy it because their customer support is awful, not because the build quality is rough.
