Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

Looking forward to the evolution and renaming of this thread to .... Courtroom Chronicles of Zidware. Sadly, and in one way or another, this JPOP saga seems destined to become entangled by the US legal system, before the first pin sees the light of day from a Collector's gameroom. Sorry folks, but this situation is akin to Sysyphus pushing a large boulder uphill for eternity. Each transgression results in stopping the forward movement of the bolder and allows it to fall backwards and on top of its master. There is little recourse left to investors, and certainly no apparent good option to resolving.

Sounds like you should get in on WOOLY.

Way for a guy to destroy his reputation in the community. From revered to reviled.

Siting in a work shop shaking hands with the unemployed to Brazilian fart porn doesn't constitute working.

Maybe he needs to stay away from the work shop for a day or two a week and work more efficiently rather then harder.

Anyone know how many are in his team or is it a captain and sailor in one ship?

StevenP why do you have privileged access to information others(not myself) are desperate and entitled to know but are being deliberately denied?

Quoted from rai:

I know he's not got the overhead of Stern or JJP with dozens of employees and whatnot that cost lots of money.
But lest say if the costs to develop an entire platform, hardware, software interface and develop two games just thinking of MG and RAZA at the moment let's say a total of 175 games.
50+125 = 175 games.
If it takes him 4-5 years and whateve salaries and equipment, CAD computers and 3D printers, vendors etc..
Let's say $800k R&D and equipment, vendors etc.. plus overhead (for 4 years let's call that $400k-$500k) $1.2M-1.3M
That's $7K per pin with and average selling price per pin of $12K
So he should have excess money to pay for the actual parts and assembly of the pins let's say $4K with leftover $1k profit per machine or money held back to deal with warranty and code fixes or cost run overs.
So it looks fine if my numbers are correct, but if the R&D and overhead are more than that, the remainder to build the pins get smaller.

How did you arrive with these specific numbers?

Quoted from SadSack:

That's OK. I'm sure you will unhide my inciteful posts when you see them. It's like a car wreck. You know it would be wiser not to look, but look we all do.

What is an inciteful post?

#3583 9 years ago
Quoted from solarvalue:

One that "incites" (rouses, stirs up or excites) perhaps?

Possible. More likely the kid meant insightful. Guess that's just how the young folk roll these days.

#3606 9 years ago
Quoted from SadSack:

The nuance of my diction is difficult to pick up even by those readers whose first language is English. Certainly solarvalue understands my skillz.

You had me at nuance and then you lost me at skillz.

Iceman you were far more entertaining when you were ginned up to the gills, rallying the troops and demanding a sit down. This neutered sobriety is disappointing, I'm surprised you've been so deferential when old mate pop has just churned out more of the same.

#3685 9 years ago
Quoted from iceman44:

Pretty clear this is a cluster F of sizable, if not epic, proportions.
It's not even possible to get a consensus on what should be done. Like I said, like herding cats, and i bang my head against the wall on daily basis enough as it is.
My daily life isn't even close to being this complicated, and a good chunk of people don't appreciate shit

Just outline what you are going to do, based on that people will decide whether they want to join the coalition or not and then proceed and execute outlined plan.

You don't need a concensus or a quorum to make it happen just like minded folk who have standing in this matter.

#3747 9 years ago

Just buy out/into riot and make wooly game two. All the hard work has already been done. Make it happen son.

#3806 9 years ago
Quoted from epthegeek:

Yeah, but I'd expect that if John's games ever actually got done and weren't limited quantities, he'd sell a lot more than AMH did/does.

"IF" my Aunty had a knob she'd be my uncle.
