Quoted from greatwichjohn:

Yes the Pintastic Show was great for playing pinball & meeting people. I do wish to say how sorry I was with the only seminar on Friday that really interested me came out very wrong for the panel, & those there. It was not my intention to want to give personal advice to those looking to do there own home brew projects. I did not know the person moderating the panel, & our personalities definitely clashed badly! For that I am very sorry about that, & offer my apology. Tracked down like a dog after the 3 seminars on Saturday, which I likely deserved. Trying to relax with a beer with Jack, & Steve as seen in the video. It was the end of the day, & I was tired at that time after being a vendor. For Jack & Steve, sorry that I remained while you & the staff had your supper drinking my $8 beer from the craft vendor (last one served after Jack & Steve).
As for how I came up with $100k US number. I met someone with very good knowledge about Big Whales in the USA, Sunday morning at the show. Many of them out there looking for games or something different. Some want something very special like what Jpop was suppose to do. Or their production games to be seriously upgraded. That level I believe 1 game can be built, or with a number of mini whales produced with a lot less bling. A few big whales I have known over the years in one form or other. They really enjoy pinball ownership, & can afford very impressive collections.
