However, ModRetro's recent announcement that it is manufacturing a Chromatic which comes with Anduril Industries branding is, for us, a step too far (Anduril is another of Palmer Luckey's companies, and is an American defence technology firm which develops autonomous weapon systems, including drones and planes).

That people might have an issue with supporting a product that directly benefits an arms dealer is pretty obvious โ€“ and we're sorry we didn't draw the line sooner. After our review of the ModRetro Chromatic went live, we were criticised (rightly) for not making its ties to Luckey clearer. We updated the review to make the connection plain, but we can appreciate that it was too little, too late for some of our readers.
