Quoted from cooked71:

Say they plan to produce raza and AIW, honoring deposits paid by pre-order customers. The same thing he did with magic girl. Surely that's a good thing for those who've pre-ordered. And if that was the case, doesn't that mean jpop has actually delivered on his promises? He hasn't just tried to disappear. Doesn't he get some credibility for trying to finish what he started? It might not be the most conventional way to do it, but given the guy has no business sense and no money, it is probably the only way he could do it. Get a partner and use his only assets - his pinball designs - as collateral to cover the pre-order money he has already spent.

Quoted from cooked71:

Regardless, many of those people doubled their investment before even receiving delivery.
But if hey haven't sold already, that may change now.

Quoted from Mr68:

Everybody on Pinside says they want the victims taken care of and yet they also chant Jpop should never work in the industry that he is trained and experienced in. An industry where he has his greatest earning potential. John owes me a RAZA machine or equivalent and I don't see that happening with him raking yard leafs.
As long as Jpop is a salaried employee, working in a controlled, supervised environment, it all makes sense to me.

Quoted from 27dnast:

Dude. Why is it that every post you make is about yourself? What you know. What the vast majority of other people are too piddly and stupid to understand.
It's ridiculous and largely meaningless banter that almost never has any fact or concrete examples to back it up.
I think the whole of Pinside acknowledges that you fancy yourself as some sort of superior pinball collector... you constantly point out that you house some sort of magical knowledge that no one else is allowed to have.
But, just a news flash, here: It's only pinball. This isn't rocket science or curing world disease. This is an escape of fun...and laughably so. FUN. I'd hazard to guess that 99% of the people that hangout on Pinside do so to have a little fun and escape the hot and heavy stuff they're experiencing in real life. That's why it's called a hobby. So instead of lecturing and constantly trying to prove superiority, just join the conversation and lose the professorial schtick. You're looking for an effective way to get your message across... to share some knowledge... that's the ticket.
