Quoted from goatdan:I see no reason for alarm, and quite frankly I think this is a hugely positive development. As I've said before, I get the wishing things happened quicker, but without going into a (more) giant post, if when you bought in you thought that they could get 1,000 LEs out the door on the same day or even in the same month, you would be crazy. It's taken time because every step of the way, Jack has done what is best for the game, and it shows to anyone who has seen it. He thought things would happen quicker, but he has been transparent about why not the entire time.
I agree with you that this is a huge positive development, as the alternative was failure.
I disagree about the transparency. The information was very controlled. People who have money on the line do not want to hear that there are problems. It could create panic.
I do wonder how very few seem to think there could ever be a chance of misrepresentation or failure. Being aware that it could happen is not the same as hoping it happens.
We saw pictures of proprietary JJP boards in 2011. We saw staged pictures of the factory as if production would soon begin. We heard everything is fine.
What I knew for certain while waiting for 2 years:
1. The delays were continuous.
2. JJP wanted more cash from us for the 2nd game before any of the first were delivered.
3. There were problems.
That's all the information I needed.
I'm happy that JJP has received a shot in the arm.
