We can't know. What I do know is that I've learnt quite a bit about myself during this Alien debacle. When I met Andrew at the DPO 2015 (?) he came across as so enthusiastic but still humble which caught my interest in his products. I had a good amount of faith in his upcoming Alien pinball I even considered pre-ordering at this time. Luckily I didn't.
But I went ahead and rooted for him on the forum and even defended him against some postings I considered hostile towards him.
In hindsight, let's say I had just been charmed having no factual reason to trust whatever he was doing at that point in time.
Taught me a lesson. Thanks for that, Andrew. Let's hope your fellow Hydrofoil enthusiasts are being treated a bit more fairly than your pre-order customers.
