Do you mean an ulterior motive?
Here's a simple explanation for that... I would argue that the number of people who have access to top secret gov't information still exceeds the number of people who have access to this machine right now.
Why would they release a photo of their unpatented machine? So someone else can copy it and perhaps beat them to market? The first time that you will see this is once it's placed. It makes zero sense from a competitive perspective to let anyone even sniff it, especially a potential money maker like this. I'm a former product developer, there is ZERO cause for concern yet.
They have 3 other companies who have put their reputations on the line (Beyond Mars Edibles, The Vapor Group aka SPLI, and Herbal Elements) by publicly announcing partnerships with the ZaZZZ machine. THIS TIME AROUND, there is a lot more to lose by not hitting their deadline than in the past. They now have their customers and partners' reputations on their shoulders, who risk disappointed customers if this is not fulfilled.
I would give this until the end of March. If they don't roll out by then, by all means, be concerned. I have been a part of the development and QA processes for confidential products. There is NO WAY we would have ever given anyone even a sniff of what was going on behind closed doors if we thought there was a market out there from which our product could inhale money from consumers.
Give them until the end of March. If they still haven't rolled out, then definitely start asking questions and be a little more concerned.
