Well, If DP go under and ARA only have 10 or so that they are holding hostage which they eventually release, then that would be around 50-60 TBL's ever built? That's a big if, but they will surely go for more than 16k at that point.

What happens if something breaks? Is DP still offering support and replacement parts for the games that were sent out or are they acting like JPOP and ignoring the owners?

Has there been any code updates lately? When I played it at last years expo, the code seemed unpolished and far from finished.

That's a big red flag. There is no reason DP should stop working on code updates unless they have no money to pay the coders. If that's the case, how do they plan to pay all the costs of redesigning the game and paying the new manufacturers? I don't put much chance on any more of these being built.
