...Well to be fair the Ford model T and the atari 2600 paddles were both discontinued 89 years and 24 years ago respectively. The Mega Everdrive was discontinued with updates only after a few years on the market. That would be like Nintendo discontinuing the NES in 1989, or The SNES in 1994. So you can see why someone might be a little upset about a product having a short shelf life.
It would not be a bad idea to offer a disclaimer of sorts for people not in the know of how fast this type of technology moves. (Not everyone follows these products like a hawk) Something along the lines of "Please be aware that these products are constantly evolving and may update frequently or not at all etc. etc."
That being said, the poster of the v1 Mega Everdrive should just sell it to make back some of the money towards a newer Everdrive.
You're right.
So, let's consider this in another way.
When you buy your flashcard, for exemple at kirkzz's store, you have the list of its features, and by reading a bit more in miscellaneous forums, you'll be able to find some compatibility list.
Anyway, at the exact moment when you buy it, you buy its actual features, and you should be aware of the even flaws if they exist. Anything coming after should be considered as bonus.
And if you had to be a bit doubtful 'bout anything of this flashcard, well, don't buy it, wait for the next one.
But you'll soon have the same doubt 'bout that new one, and have to wait for the next...
It has always been this way for all "underground videogame related" stuff, since the first generation copier.
