Quoted from BMore-Pinball:

lol ... big assumption that anybody will read those emails

That's because no one is left to read them

missed something .... is it official that they are done ?
or just more speculation !

If you call Deeproot’s company phone lines, they direct you to send questions, comments, money, requests, etc to their company email address. If you remember DR stressed their communication skills and strong connections built with their customers. Now DR is telling them to GTFO. Don’t call us, we don’t care. Mail in your item and they’ll get back to you when their lawyers say the coast is clear and it is safe to come out.

Your complaint will be added to a control list and assigned a creditor class. AFAIK, customers rank dead last on the list of unsecured creditors, and are behind any secured creditors. And when one is trying to split a $0 bank balance among four or five groups of impacted creditors, after legal fees, the payout to each individual of a group is ... still close to $0.

Yes - but this time I think when you close down all your contact pages Facebook, Linked in, and even push company contact to email that ain't good.

Prove us wrong - you can't - bad communication abounds....

Sent their legal department an inquiry. But their bots have probably quit too since they require electricity as payment
My deposit was around 2000. It was 20% for the Xtra

Ouch.

I thought people were putting down like $500.

Did $2k down buy you first in the line?

Nope it was 20% for the Xtra. So yes it stings but my fault should have taken the money back. But RM is a non transparent scumbag. I fell for his bullshit.
I hope the fucker winds up in prison for securities fraud. Then he can find out how ease getting prison raped is to actually making a machine.
Fucking lawyers suck
Sorry no offense to good lawyers

It’s not a ton of money from everyone I think to save his own ass he may just pay it out. He is young enough to care about his professional life and his own reputation in other areas not pinball.

This is civil not criminal in any stretch no one goes to prison.

I was speculating that things are bad and the latest changes mean it is over and no one should consider a machine actually being produced any time soon.

Is there a chance something happens, maybe, I thought Dutch Pinball was done for but it is still eking out machines. You never know, they might dump JPOP focus on just building a few games to live up to their commitment.

Like Dutch pinball sometimes people who run it can’t live with themselves but are just in so deep they can’t get out. Maybe this will happen for DR.

The problem is bravado and ego does not buy people grace and consideration.

Sounds dumb but I think deposits come back or games may still end up getting built but I don’t think it is any time soon for either. Complete guess on my part…

Perhaps a major house cleaning is happening and hopefully a revamp of how things are done and allow the tons of cash invested to be recouped.
Out with the old and in with the new
Still hoping for a positive outcome for those who invested in Raza and games are delivered
Nothing yet has been set in stone .

So I understand the gleeful reply. They closed a Facebook page that was simply a catchall for hate posts, and a Linkedin page so you now have proof they closed. Ok totally makes sense now.

Ya'll were warned. Ya'll didn't listen.

I shall remove myself now to the "other" thread.

Also JPOP is a hack.

I think they listened, it was apparent to all how f’d up things were at DR, they just don’t care about possibly losing $600. Everyone knew it was a gamble.

Rubbing it in buyers faces now, in this thread, Is just poor form and unnecessary tho Ben. (Side note, DR being done for is still technically speculation)

So did RM finally tap out?

You posted only the prelude. To be fair, below is the full exposition of a world without lawyers.

Toyota, the company, even appears in the clip.

It’s over??
Nothing is over.
Did they say it was over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor??
Hell no!!
Leave him alone….he’s on a roll.

Has there been any announcement that this project is over? Or are we just reading the tea leaves.
I’m not giving up!!
Cmon RM!! Crank out a machine for me!!

Context, time, facts & changing ones opinion in light of facts are a concepts that don’t make sense to you, it seems. Weird way to live. Anyway - please send us all money. We’ll also give you nothing, but at least we’ll be honest about it.

How old is that photo ? That train left the station a long time ago...

Does it matter? I simply said it was sad two creative partners had a falling out. Interesting to see how they created Raza in a garage.

No, actually, I haven't. And I wasn't the first person to mention that so what the hell ever, man.

I couldn't care less that you were trying to make some asinine joke that fell on it's face. Use the sarcasm tag if you're joking. Otherwise, I assume you're an idiot. Expecting that every person on the face of the earth is going to get your reference to a 40+ year old movie is.....ignorant at best.

Actually, 3 people did comment and understood it was an Animal House reference. Try not to take it to serious or personal. We are just having fun.
