Sounds more like a last ditch to save their investment then a rebirth. I hope they are able to pull it off for the sake of all involved. People are going to have to be reasonable with their expectations though. Refunds and getting games built quickly are not likely. There seems to be several issues that need to be addressed. Once fixed all of the parts for production have to be ordered. Then a line setup and test machines slowly built. Then production slowly starts. This is going to take several million $ and likely 6-12 months just to get rolling. JJP was in a similar state and look how long it took from investment time to production of TH. That was from a company that had already made a few thousand games and knew how to setup a line and build them.

You can rate games however you feel. That's why they are your ratings. The issue that most people take is that you go out of your way to have some strange awkward involvement in any new pinball company that you can. It's like you are obsessed with being a part of it. You then rate all of these games that these companies let you in on as a 10 and go around gushing about them being the next coming of pinball. Games from manufacturers that don't give you this treatment then get rated 1's or really low and you chalk it up to your own personal rating system of what you like. In the end it doesn't seem to have anything to do with gameplay. I mean, seriously, it couldn't if you look at some of your ratings. It's about who lets you in and a part of something.

It doesn't matter to me. If that's what makes you happy by all means go for it. But that is why you get push back and are not always received that well on pinside. Not that any of this matters in the real world.
