I remember in the releases they gave us they explained they pushed the boundaries of spending to try and get the things they needed and it still wasn't enough.
"Huge Loss" is the key term there. I can't tell you what I would consider reasonable or not without actually seeing the numbers. I wouldn't expect or want a business to bankrupt itself over a launch, but I very much doubt Square were even close to going into the red on the launch.

But to be clear Im not saying "RAGE THEY LIED TO US" Im just saying be sceptical when a company tells you how hard they tried, even when you like the company. Its good for consumers to demand more from businesses.
