Wrong Christmas Gift Fail

Info from Licensor: "Well, it's been a struggle... trying to raise my son (his name is Maxxdread) with my hours being cut, and you know, just life as a single father of a teenager with autism...and he's never really had a real-life friend, he never really wanted one... until he got a quest2 VR headset and started doing VR chat... he's been saying he wants to be a YouTuber (his channel: -- https://youtube.com/@earlyhetzer?si=XwRA-_xyYtcJeiaR) for several years now and he just got monetized recently. He had like three payouts so far.... listening to him in there is just like listening to real kids hanging out at a park or the mall... so it's kind of like he's got friends for the first time, and it's cool, and stuff but even though they're just virtual and you know he's never met him in real life probably won't... so he's finally got friends, only they're in virtual reality even though they're real people... he doesn't have any in real life so anyways he's always been working at being YouTuber, and he's been doing good with making videos of his VR chat sessions and then editing them and then posting the,m and so I was going to get him a Quest 3 for Christmas, and I made it seem like I wasn't going to be able to get it till tax time and we usually don't really do a lot of decorating and stuff, but I decorated up and made sure I ordered it, and it arrived on Christmas Eve, and I got the camera out got the lights on it was all ready to film him opening it and then when he opened i,t and he asked me why didn't I get him the quest three and then I was confused cuz I thought I did, but it turns out it was the quest 3s which is according to him basically just the quest2 with the newer casing. So on top of that,t I've had him for years like he's been back and forth between his mom and me, like half the time here and half time there when he was little, but since 202,0 when covid h,it he came and has lived with me full time and he was always with me more than that beforehand, he was a daddy's boy...and now he may be moving with his mom to Costa Rica, or he may be just moving up into the mountains with her, and I'm having a hard time of it and so I thought this was really going to be cool and special and then it kind of broke my heart when he reacted the way he did and never even said thanks for trying or we'll make it right or have Merry Christmas, or I love you or anything but then again he's autistic, and he's not trying to be hurtful he just has no filter, and also I try to look at it from his point of view you know he was expecting a quest 3, and even though I thought I got it, it was just definitely was not."
