ok - I'll peek my head out against my better judgement... I truly hope JPOP can redeem himself here for the sake of his family and pinball's reputation... but unless the previous project(s) money-vacuum is addressed, i don't see any benefit to support this ...or a win coming his way...
And as a side note - while I realize pissing on Stern is fashionable here, comparing the 2 is just plain out of touch from my experience...
5 years of working with JPOP yielded misdirection, frustration, untruths, (late & later no payment)& and outright theft in the end (or was that a meta magic themed marketing approach?) ....while a 6 month team project with Stern yielded a fantastic experience & a pin that I'm pretty proud of. And keep in mind, I actually lean toward supporting the little guy over the big guy any day of the week...
Just my skewed perspective from my experience, though.
So unless all who paid in on MG & RAZA are made whole at some point - I don't know how anyone can support this project.
I'll slowly back into the shadows now...
