Quoted from vdojaq:

REALLY? Why the "F" would anyone within the pinball community buy anything even remotely associated with JPOP? The guy runs off with almost $1 million and it's OK as long as he is not in charge?
And I don't feel sorry if Hajabi didn't do his homework 1st and American Pinball goes down the drain faster than I could flush my morning dump!

We all know that if someone worked with JPOP and put out a killer game that actually gets made people would line up with wallets open and bent over with their pants down. The 100 or so people screwed out of money might still hold a grudge but everyone else will forget real quickly. People still buy WCS, TOM, TOTAN, and CV without much thought about it.

Don't try to justify your owning of WCS JPOP lover #1

In all serious though what is the difference? No it does not benefit JPOP or hurt the people that lost money but it proves that people in the end do not care. If it's a good game they will own it and it doesn't matter to them that a piece of sh#t that stole from a bunch of people designed it.

Quoted from RickThorn:

I just emailed Kaneda and he confirmed he had nothing to do with this press release and hasn't spoken to John in over a year. Take it for what it's worth. Your obedient friend. Rick Thorn.

So you emailed yourself and then replied to yourself? Multiple Kenada personalities?

Quoted from RickThorn:

From American Pinball's Facebook Page...I bet nobody on here was even keeping a lookout for this. This is either the greatest prank in pinball history or JPOP is back. WOW.

LOL, Your screen shots from Facebook have your picture on them Kenada.

Quoted from RickThorn:

If you dipshits didn't realize I was Kaneda, than I don't know what to tell you. Seriously. Every new poster is Kaneda. Except this time it happens to be me. So instead of being a pinside baby, I went and got some information for you guys. Chew on this and this is confirmed by American Pinball (and no I don't work with them).
Game is going to cost $6,995.
Game will be at EXPO.
So there. Don't say Kaneda never gave you anything. Robin, wake up and ban me again.

Come on Mods, give the baby his damn bottle.

Quoted from pezpunk:

what a ridiculous statrement. jpop gets zero dollars when collectors sell WCS, TOM, TOTAN or CV to each other.

Stop and actually think about it. People still actively pursuing those games and the fact that they cost so much shows that there is still a market for that type of work. Why do you think American Pinball is working with JPOP? So yes, the continued demand and purchase of those games does in fact create demand for more of JPOP's work and makes foolish people see $$$. Many people, you included post that JPOP is tainted, shouldn't be touched, should be ran out of pinball. But then you turn around and say that these games are before that, they are not tainted because they were before this, he doesn't get anymore money for them, etc. Those games are what caused people to give JPOP money for magic girl, RAZA, AIW. Those games are what currently caused American Pinball to work with him. Those games staying popular will continue to cause the JPOP stench to linger on for many years to come.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with anyone buying any of JPOP's old games, but they are certainly part of his checkered history and also what lead to this situation. So if you truly believe JPOP is tainted, a thief, a terrible person, etc. I'm not sure how you could own any of them. That's just my opinion though, everyone has a right to their own.

Quoted from iceman44:

It will matter and the dumb F that puts money into this sham is about to find out its money flushed down the toilet.
Jpop, working by himself to develop a pin, CAN'T put out a "killer game", at Bally Williams, with the help of many others some decent pins were made.
A few idiots might line up and buy because they are worried about the pin falling apart and the excellent support and service they will get after the fact.
What a F ing joke this whole idea is. It'll go right up in flames like the last time.
This whole scam represents Jpop trying to skirt the illegal ponzi scheme he perpetrated the first time and think that people will be dumb enough to fall for it again. Of course there will be some idiots, like i said. True idiots.

I can see you being right back in line for another one. You seem like a really good dude, but you have to admit that you can't help yourself when it comes to new pinball. Hell, at one point your entire previously owned list was vaporware.

Quoted from pezpunk:

no. utterly absurd.
people trading games he happened to work on decades ago while an employee of Williams does nothing for him or his financial situation. any benefit is completely nebulous and insubstantial. it's not even a net benefit in terms of the very dubious notion of helping his reputation, since the game exists and gets played either way whether it's traded or not.
buying a NEW game that gets built, one that he designs or has a hand in designing, which puts money directly into his pockets -- or even entertaining that notion -- is obviously many orders of magnitude more directly helping this scumbag thief.
it's completely ludicrous to equate the two concepts.

Lol, you seem to think a lot people opinions are "absurd" and "ludicrous" while treating your own as facts. I respect your opinion, I have a right to mine.

i edited those lines out, sorry they bothered you.

Not bothered at all. You make lots of good posts, you just are very strong with you opinions. Nothing wrong with that.
