Thank you all for the recent posts.
I can understand the emotions from my friends who have lost funds.
They have a ray of light now. Lets let it grow, and be positive, in the hopes it produces "something"
for those upset because of money.
If you feel, as even I do, that Jpop did what he did intentionally, fraudulently, and illegally, I can respect that.
But thats what a court is for.
If you feel you wont, or shouldnt touch a game Jpop has his hands on, thats fine, but demanding others do so
or as mentioned, hoping for failure....isnt that what you are complaining about.....failure, and now your answer is to
promote more?
I wont go to expo, and order an illusion, or a promise of a game, out of both respect to my fellow pinsiders,
and the belief, that a new company with no production, will deliver a game. But I will hope they do, and hope
they are following the path of higher ground they appear to be taking.
Once again, not APs debt, Bankruptcy and Law Suits have not gone away.
But, there are other designers, and AP just may turn out to be a great company, successful, and hire OTHER designers.
Dont we all want that?
Like anything here on pinside, we have a group of people affected, and then a Polarization on either side....wishing success
or failure, based on either an employee or independent contractor of a new legal company.
My personal experiences will come out wrong, no matter how I say this, but yes, I "feel" as others do, I understand the anger.
But John thinks he tried and failed, and not tried and defrauded. Its in Legal now.
If I had 10 cents on the dollar for the amount I have had taken, bankrupt, not paid, robbed of, etc, in my business life,
Id have retired way earlier. It doesnt make it right, it sucks, but thats the system.
Rarely have a seen a situation, where a new Company even mentions fixing someone elses debt issues, especially when in litigation at this level. I applaud them for trying, and hope we let them try first, before hanging them.
Dont buy it or play it, or look at it, if it bothers you. But just perhaps managing emotions, might allow those with financial loss
to possibly see some good.
