A crowdfunding backer of Retro Computers Ltd has won his court claim for a refund against the Brit company for failing to deliver its promised product.

The court, in south England, also ruled that Indiegogo’s terms and conditions were not relevant to the claim.

the click bait title

Sorry you didn't like it. It wasn't intended as clickbait, merely a pisstake of previous, possibly overused, styles.

Tell me what you would prefer, preferably still retaining a little humour, and I'll change it.

It is possible we both might agree more than disagree

Indeed. Your view is exactly why I did it as a pisstake. I even searched for 'classic' titles to mirror and then added the exclamation marks :)
