    So Razer had their IPO today and debuted on the Hong Kong stock exchange.
    Their stock symbol is "1337"
    For reals.

    Just when I thought they couldn't look more ridiculous. Thanks for proving me wrong, Razer.

    The IPO was heavily oversubscribed actually, as a result the stock went much higher on launch. It raised 500 million with a valuation of 4billion.
    Not saying it won't crash and burn when it fails to deliver profits down road, following it's current strategy.

    More proof their target demographic are 14-year-olds from 1998.

    But I don't think it's been "cool" since 2000
