Since Pinside is headquartered in the Netherlands and perhaps, has a little more insight into the machinations of Dutch pinball.... is it possible... is it remotely conceivable that they might help an American investor get the manufacturing rights to The Big Lewbowski and bring it to the U.S. to build it?
If I was able to get the manufacturing rights for the U.S., one thing I DONT NEED is upfront payments to ship games. I would simply have people pay Cointaker or GameRoom Guys once their games were shipping. TBL is a game that should see the light of day, but legal squabbling in Europe will probably keep that from ever happening. I have the financial strength to make this happen. I would use a boutique pinball manufacturer like Multimorphic or Spooky, or maybe even American pinball. These companies would probably welcome a zero risk, popular addition to their production line. Spooky would be my first choice as I know the folks behind the company and they are highly honorable, committed and capable. I would just be the ‘sugar daddy’.
Anyway, moderators, please feel free to weigh in if this seems remotely possible. Previous overtures to Dutch Pinball have been met with silence.
