The incredible Razer Project Valerie prototype stolen at CES
The amazing concept design that Razer has dubbed as Project Valerie which incorporated two slide-out gaming displays to turn it into a portable, panoramic gaming behemoth has apparently been stolen as the show was coming to a close.
Two prototypes of Project Valerie were stolen from the booth. Razer CEO Min-Liang has stated on his Facebook page the following.
“I’ve just been informed that two of our prototypes were stolen from our booth at CES today.
We have filed the necessary reports and are currently working with the show management as well as law enforcement to address this issue.
At Razer, we play hard and we play fair. Our teams worked months on end to conceptualize and develop these units and we pride ourselves in pushing the envelope to deliver the latest and greatest.
We treat theft/larceny, and if relevant to this case, industrial espionage, very seriously – it is cheating, and cheating doesn’t sit well with us. Penalties for such crimes are grievous and anyone who would do this clearly isn’t very smart.
If you were at the show and/or if you can provide us any information, please do reach out to us at [email protected] – all information provided will be kept in the strictest of confidence.”
He has not ruled out corporate espionage. We’ll keep you informed of developments.
