Quoted from Aurich:These private holding companies aren't charities. If they're investing in JJP it's because they went through his books, examined the business model and upcoming titles, ran all the numbers etc and decided it was a winning bet.
So it's a win for JJP and their fans of course, but it's also a sign that money people think pinball is financially a good bet. Hopefully it wasn't based on $10k NIB games, but otherwise it's good news for everyone, even if you never buy a JJP game.
And yet in your prior post you said that you hoped that this means lower prices! (Edit: sorry, it wasn't you who said that, it was Kevin).
Methinks not.
Things that cost a lot of money to do, like the direct printed and clearcoated cabinets, will be going bye bye in order to cut costs and increase profits. No more losing money on this type of stuff.
