Quoted from Spiderpin:Why did JJP stop making it? Who pulled the plug.
From recent interview w/ Buffalo Pinball on why Jersey Jack Pinball stopped building Pirates of the Caribbean:
Keith: ‘So the reason it got cut off was at the time there was no demand for Pirates. Everyone was getting near the end of what they were selling, and because of chest-gate and disc-gate everyone was like “oh I don’t really want this game anymore”…eventually it got out and people realized it was a good game. But as you’re using up the parts to make games, at some point you have to make a decision – are we going to buy more parts for a game we don’t have any orders for? Or are we going to start a new game that has a really good license and you know that you’re going to sell at a minimum way more than your probably going to build of the other game. So that was the reason. There were no orders and no demand [for Pirates of the Caribbean]. And once we said we’re done with it, then of course demand went through the roof. But at the time there was no demand, so we moved on to Willy Wonka. It was absolutely the right decision to make.‘
