Quoted from badbilly27:

Hmmm.....
9. . There's another scandal crazier than this that's about to rock the pinball hobby
Anyone care to share?

It's hard to imagine another new scandal crazier than this one...

In this day and age this company should be live streaming the reveal.

What a pathetic reveal! This whole thing really does smell funny. I hope that in the long run those that were swindled by JPop either get a great game, or their money back.

I still don't understand why American Pinball would align themselves with JPop. They say "Who would care about American Pinball if we didn’t have a big name behind us?". I would venture to say that if they made new, great games at a competitive price, everyone would care, independent of a "big name". I also have to imagine there are some other old school designers out there who might be interested in designing games again (who is Nordman designing for these days?). Not to mention they come out of the gates with a tarnished look, and have the legacy issue of making the JPop mess right. Seems like a lot of extra expense. It just doesn't make sense...

I guess the one thing that does make sense, is they certainly have generated a ton of buzz for themselves...

It's going to be an interesting Expo. Think JPop will show his ugly mug?

Did anyone ask them why they are doing this? They could have easily started a new pinball company with no association to JPop, without the stigma, and the cost associated with helping fulfill the JPop orders. What are they getting out of it? Do they feel in the long run JPop designed games will be the difference to make them a ton of money?

Quoted from vdojaq:

Keep in mind, if there is no Jpop, then there will be NO Magic Girl.
In the best interest of AP, that is the way they should do it. Focus on Houdini and nothing else.

I've been following this since the beginning, and that is my guess of what will happen. AP will drop Jpoop, Magic Girl will not see the light of day through AP, and Houdini may be released eventually - if so it will be redesigned by Joe (to remove Jpoop from the equation). Again, just a guess...only time will tell...
