Quoted from OLDPINGUY:I certainly would never suggest "Dont" contact Universal Studios, but in chatting with my Brother,
A former Universal Attorney, his answer was simply, "Good Luck".....not in a good way.
I would hope as the next few days go by, some answers or direction that would be of help, for the anguish
being felt over the situation.
Its definitely a tricky situation, and as usual its brought on by Money, and attempts to get fixed by money.
What I mean, is if we look down the road, and legal action seems needed, it might cost $500-$1000 per person to pursue, with unsure results, where that same amount in an honest open effort with Dutch, could resolve in the games going out....
Whats best? $1000 to an attorney, with unknown answers, or DP communicating with its customers, and finding answers of reason and compromise, before attorneys take whatever is needed to force a result?
I dont know? just thoughts...IMO.....
Universal/Paramount was a client of mine for 7+ years. Far from trying to be negative here and wish all involved the best in a terrible situation. However, from experience im telling you that a meeting to discuss a few hundred pinballs not being manufatured will never happen. Its not easy to sit in front of a billion dollar business.
