I didn't see it in this article or in this thread, but reading between the lines Andrew is still a part of the company, yeah? Just in a slightly different role?
Having been through some dot com boom startups, it makes me a bit sad to read about the downfall of Heighway Pinball. To put all that passion and time into something and have it not work out is pretty devastating. But, at least there are some investors picking things up, so that, hopefully, turns into a positive.
I don't know what the future holds, but I really want an Alien pinball machine. Hopefully, things get back on track and all of us who want one can get one in the near future!
