Quoted from metallik:I know Mike pretty well. He's heavily involved with pinball, but not so much the "pinside" side of it. His knowledge of JPOP was basically "trying to do some kind of project but not getting very far." Yes there are a gazillion posts about it here.... but they're all in JPOP threads, and if you never read the threads or talk to a victim or a friend of a victim... Anyway, looks like Mike knows the true story now so put the pitchforks n torches away
100% agreed. I know many people in the hobby who don't read Pinside or see this stuff anywhere, so as far as they know this is just "a new game by the guy who made TOM and TOTAN". Mike's a great guy and there's no reason to boycott him or his show over this, he simply wants to get the newest and coolest things at expo, and he thought this fit that bill. Now that he's been made aware of the past situation, he'll look this over more carefully.
