Quoted from toyotaboy:. Every concept John comes up with has one little interesting design, in this case a clear apron so the artwork could extend down further.
A clear apron, what a genius.

Quoted from s1500:Yes, John "16 grand for a machine" Pop will pioneer a lower-cost machine.
One could say he is a pioneer in that field, super high prices..
Just reporting facts. I got deposed by my team yesterday. Opposing counsel no show. Just my lawyer, me, and the court reporter via Facetime. Typical depo, fast and professional. I basically had nothing to add that the whole world does not know already, public information. I was expecting opposing counsel. Discovered that if you close the door in my new office with the aquarium in here it turns into a sauna after an hour. 
This is way worse than Skit B. The people who got their MG also got hosed so badly. They have to look at that POS, and maybe they even try to play it occasionally which must sting. Somehow it seems better to have been 100% screwed over by Jon Popadiuk like me(not in on MG). He has ZERO excuses for guys like me. Just an email telling us our money is gone and progress may happen...NEVER.
Did this really start 5 years ago? What a stain on the hobby. If you missed this whole thing count yourself lucky and take my advice - If you can't drive off with it immediately, then it's not a pinball machine.

Quoted from frolic:still the same tell-tale hand coded html from John featuring 90s style tables.
Best way to make a website that is running 100% stable everywhere and superfast.
Quoted from blueberryjohnson:Site relaunch #5,236. This time he is designing the future!

If JPOP is going back to the future, maybe he can design RAZA and AIW.
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:maybe he can design
Sadly it seems beyond that & foam core mock ups that's as far as he can get these days

Is John still pretending he's building RAZA? What's he doing with his days?
The whole shipping MG out was to pretend he had everything sorted out and it was business as usual.

He's working on his AMZZING website, no doubt

Hilarious coming from the guy who swung by his nuts the longest and help perpetuate this.

Quoted from deeproot:I wish these new investors the best. They are going to need it.
You can say that again.
Quoted from HighProtein:What company will hire him next?
I think he'd be absolutely great at designing Cornhole boards.

Fuck off JPOP and anyone associated with him. Why do we need another company to promise a JPOP machine only to have money swindledf rom people again. If you support him or pay any form of money to this company you are a fool!
Everyone should be contacting deep root and expressing their dissatisfaction with this company announcing their pinball machine being connected with John.
Quoted from packards34:Everyone should be contacting deep root and expressing their dissatisfaction with this company announcing their pinball machine being connected with John.
They didn't announce anything. They were outed.
Quoted from 27dnast:Where is the announcement?

Quoted from dgarrett:You have your work cut out for you - read the first 23,000 posts. I'll save you some time getting oriented...
A quick recap.
JPop will never (IMO) build another game or be hired by any pinball maker.
Haha

Quoted from pinballrockstar:John,is my machine ready?
I want to pick it up,paid you 3 years ago.
But you didn't pay your balance?
New to this thread. So this guy JPOP who helped design I think cirqus volt duped mad people out of money? Wow. I need to read full story on this. I think Houdini looks cool. I want it to succeed. I like the theme, I just don't know about new companies. JJP seems to be chugging along ok.

Looks pretty up to date, what do you think is missing?
Quoted from NYP:Looks pretty up to date, what do you think is missing?
Someone already updated it since yesterday.. when I looked earlier it stopped at Sept 2015 / Nate's interview / pintasia.
to the editor of that website:
I think it would be a worthy addition to the story to state with those shipping MG that people who worked on the machine (specifically Zombie Yeti and Applejuice the programmer) have stated publicly that they are still owed both cash and machines for their work and were never compensated.
As well, that ZY posted that he had been approached by Deeproot to relinquish his copyrights on that same work that he was not paid for.
Probably worth adding that ZY said he won't be doing that.
Quoted from Mr68:I wish I had said that to Popaduik in 2011.
I hate to bother those scorned with questions, but since there is a topic devoted to it I will ask: Is there any hope on this earth that AIW or RAZA will be delivered? I think the answer is no, but...maybe?
Quoted from wizard_mode:I hate to bother those scorned with questions, but since there is a topic devoted to it I will ask: Is there any hope on this earth that AIW or RAZA will be delivered? I think the answer is no, but...maybe?
Based on what I've read about Deeproot, that seems to be their intention. Whether or not they can pull it off is anybody's guess.
Quoted from wizard_mode:I hate to bother those scorned with questions, but since there is a topic devoted to it I will ask: Is there any hope on this earth that AIW or RAZA will be delivered? I think the answer is no, but...maybe?
At this point, no. JPOP has an abysmal track record, and deeproot has no record at all.

Magic-8 ball says - you know the answer already, it's no. Oh well, John Popadeuce leaves a long trail wherever he shats. 
Quoted from spfxted:.....money fixes a lot of crazy shit.....
It really can't fix stupid.
I love all the outrage now. The MG buyers get a game courtesy of Davhil, NOW its not ok for someone else to "bail out" Jpop to build RAZA and AIW for those buyers?
What a f ing joke. Yea or nay, either way, IF they can make it, people need to STFU, its someone else's $$
The reality is it will NEVER happen.
I can't wait to see how they try and thread this needle.
Any solution better not discriminate one group over another. In other words, people that joined in the Jpop suit versus the others.
It's simple to start another suit. After all, when did Jpop deliver MG and say that he is working on RAZA? Yeah, statute of limitations is nowhere near done.
Don't even F ing think about it.
