CRKD’s $99.99 Backpack Roasts Peak Design Like a Pro Gamer
Embracer Group's CRKD just dropped the Vortex 1.0 backpack for a neat $99.99, trying so hard to beat Peak Design’s 8-year reign of tech supremacy it straight-up cloned the look. This isn’t just any bag—it boasts dedicated handheld gaming pockets roomy enough for a Steam Deck and the elusive Switch 2, unlike Peak’s chintzy 20-liter torture chamber that forces gamers to exile their consoles on vacation. The Verge’s review hints the only side pockets Peak designed are for packing your disappointment. At last, a bag that understands you actually travel with your gaming addiction—because why bring clothes when you can lug expensive plastic?
