Quoted from Damonator:I'm guessing it was a reference to vendors who have a Monopoly on a certain item.
There's no such thing as a monopoly on parts. You can always buck up and tool it youself. Oh, but that would take money.
We know any Williams IP is clear due to their agreement with Planetary Pinball, so that isn't an issue.
What's left? Unpaid vendors.
Quoted from Damonator:You are absolutely correct - there is no such thing as an actual Monopoly - but there are specialized items like playfields that are not as simple as "building a tool yourself". It would take a ton of time, expertise and money to do this yourself. Unlike LCD monitors and computers, there isn't a huge global demand for pinball playfields, so I can see this item being a potential bottleneck if there are only one or two vendors and they are swamped or working exclusively with one company.
But the unpaid vendor thing has been mentioned before. Do you have an example of a vendor who hasn't been paid?
PM sent.
I think all JJP supporters who are keeping the faith need to look up the definition of the word *faith*. It's not something intelligent humans really want to say they have (and no, I am not talking about the religious definition of faith. This is certainly not the forum for that).
Oh heck, here it is - "firm belief in something for which there is no proof".
I want JJP to succeed, I really do. Seriously. Honestly. I just don't have any faith, as this would imply that I am blindly believing there are no serious issues when there is plenty of evidence to the contrary.
Their PR approach is a bit baffling as well. I've received my own PM from Jack which I will not share verbatim, but I will say it wasn't a big friendly hello. This approach puzzles me. I think the few posts I have made in this thread are pretty logical, but I guess that is all open to interpretation.
Look at the facts and follow the money, that's pretty much all you have to do to get a good idea of how anything works (or is working).
