So what is the status here really?
Sure seems to me that 99% of what it takes has been done on this game and that reviews point to this game being a gem over time.
What is going on with the aquisition of assets etc.?
Pretty far along to throw the company/game in the trash if you ask me.
Why not just use the existing supply line and pass the project on to a JJP or American Pinball type?
Quoted from Damonator:Deeproot pinball actually attempted this (and may be better funded than anyone else to try besides Stern) and said it was a non-starter.
It would involve dealing with:
A) customers that were owed a game (or deposit money)
B) vendors that were owed money
C) working with Fox to re-acquire the license
D) working with Pinball Brothers to acquire the assets
E) redesigning some of the more fragile aspects of the game (IO boards, light boards, Xeno head etc)
F) probably other parties that I’m not thinking about
But basically - a huge pain in the butt, very expensive and very time consuming.
Thanks for the concise answer.
What a shame.
