Found this post and I found it quite interesting so I thought I would share. A couple of these things do sort of line up with some of the designers I've talked to, but I still don't know how true it is.
>1/2
>According to the source on TGFC, it's way more than that. Let me translate the details here of what he said (I'm just doing translation here, I can't validate any he said is true or not, take this with a grain of salt).
>1) 先是放图恶心竞争对手,
>When the competitor makes an new product annoncement, FT will also announce with pictures to show same character in FT's pipeline too.
>2) 但是背后给其 他家的工厂砸价,让其产品值崩,惹了众怒。
>FT secretly bring down other factories' price, make the the competitor lose money, which piss off a lot companies. ( my comment: I don't even know if my translation here is accurate or not, since I don't understand how or what FT did Secretly, what is "砸价" action).
3) 和FT仇恨最大的就是dx9,badcube,tw这几家。dx9的惊破天和badcube的 昆虫都被FT 背后给工厂砸价或给经销商砸价弄得血本无归,导致dx9现在基本生产量只看预定量,tw更是大 幅收缩战线, 还要盯着淘宝商家,看是哪家被收买砸价。据说和MT也有点问题。
>The biggest haters of FT are dx9, bc and TW. FT's 砸价 action caused DT9's Galvatron and BC's Insecticons losing big money. It was so bad that DX9 now only produce based on pre-order numbers, TW shrink a lot and has to watch Taobao shops all the time to avoid 砸价. It was said FT has problem with MT too.
