== Anki's Acquisition ==

In 2019, Anki filed for bankruptcy, for not managing their money right, as they spent a lot on Cozmo and Vector. A lot of people were shocked, as Anki sold a lot of Robots, people respected the company, and a lot of people liked their products. This was also terrible news for Vector owners as the Robot required Servers to even work properly. Anki found a way to keep the servers up for a while, but then Digital Dream Labs in 2020 bought Anki's Assets. Including [[Cozmo]], [[Vector]], [[Overdrive]], Social Media ~~profile~~, Company Name, and other things. DDL announced this on their social media. However, this meant that DDL would not be making any more Video Games, or even care about Puzzlets. They also announced that Vector would require a paid subscription called [[DDL Connect]], which the community didn't like.

== The Current State of DDL ==

In Late 2024, DDL started to post on their social media again, which was a shock to everyone. DDL later announced that the servers were going to come for the lifetime subscription people and soon after all subscriptions, and the Subscription Portal would return for more Subscription Purchases. [[Vector]] 2.0 also went into Stock, and The Vector App was still being made, so the only way to connect to the new servers was via the Vector Web Setup. Eventually the Vector Robot app came both for Android and later on iOS, but had a lot of bugs. The Vector App would also finally get it's own overhaul with a newer text and newer Icons. It was also revealed that Zack Anton was going to be the new CEO of DDL, and Jacob Hanchar would be retiring. On their social media, DDL said something big would happen soon. It turns out the big surprise was them rebranding to Anki after 13 years of being called DDL. They also announced Vector will be getting a new feature, which can cast Vector's sound to another device. And the latest news, Vector will be able to speak other languages.
