Think of JPOP as a big brown roach - sneaky, fast, scary and a toxic cesspool. Roaches survive, it's what they do.

deeprootpinball we'll see -

deeprootpinball management's decision to hire JPOP, knowing his background and the ensuing fiasco that left a trail of angry customers, vendors, suppliers and designers shows they lack good business acumen. They invited JPOP into their company, knowing how toxic John's touch is and I hope they enjoy the experience. At least deeprootpinball isn't asking for prepayment yet. Let them design and build a pinball machine first as there will be ample time for people to see / play / judge it once it actually exists. Numerous pinball companies that were started this decade took 4 years to develop their first production level machines.

No need to close this thread, this one has nothing to do with MG, RAZA or AIW. This thread is about JPOP resurfacing as an employee of a new company whose purpose is to build pinball machines. There are only slight resemblances with original thread - both focus on pinball and JPOP, but that is where the similarities end. Carry on.

Allow me use a prop to demonstrate Deeproot Pinball's fate, now that JPOP has joined .......

Yeti, was just thinking about your efforts and wondering whether you'd been paid by new owners and see you haven't. There will be a lot of art revisions needed, and short of your commitment, these will need to be done by another artist, but in your style. That's right Zombie, you have officially become a named artist and now someone else will need to knockoff your design style to make the changes. Guess knowing that must feel good. Hoping you get paid for past and that you return the request for release - ripped up and covered in urine. Great you can pass on this mess and avoid the drama.

Hoping applejuice gets paid too.
