I don’t think there’s any pride in it, they are just going after what is the most profitable at any given time.
That’s exactly why I suspect they will choose to resurrect the Crucial name later, because given a choice between launching a new name nobody knows, or a name people recognise (even if it’s been tarred a bit) then recognised will be the winning and more profitable option.
That is, if they haven’t sold the Crucial name to someone else first.
They will return to the market with a new brand once the bubble bursts.
Probably just the same brand, honestly?

Depends on how proud they are and if they’d want to retract their statements of going after AI instead of consumers or not.

I can see both happening.
I’d say: We will see (thumbsup)
