Quoted from lamihh:They obviously have ended their due diligence process which must have been a very complex one as it goes hand in hand with a new business case how to bring this company back on track successfully. They are investing big money (I'm convinced that this is the case as this company needs a big infusion to ramp up for mass production) and doing this after weeks of due diligence for me personally is a very good sign. That they make this quick and dirty announcement before having FAQ and whatnot is a result of all this BS on this forum. They were simply forced to clear the sky and do deescalation. I find your post ashaming as you did not think about what you write or you are intentionally stirring the pot.
Imho it was important to give this information to the public though the ink is not dry though there was no chance to do it the way you'd expected it to be.
With all those raised forks and torches here it simply was a signal nothing more and nothing less.
Do you KNOW they are investing big money or are you guessing ?
Quoted from Wickerman2:I got the email and I didn't even order an Alien!
Also, I don't think anyone has their head in the sand or up their ass at this point. I think the cautious optimism and wait and see approach seems reasonable given that these guys just poured a couple (few?) million in to this with the goal of polishing and delivering Alien and hopefully moving company forward. The words of confidence from the actual employees with direct knowledge of the project go a long way as well. This is not their first title. The game is 90%(?) done. This shouldn't be THAT hard.
I'm thinking, if you live under a rock and had ordered Alien to put under your rock, and you didn't obsessively follow all things in the pinball nerdiverse, later this year you'd get your game and think "man, that took forever".
Where do you get the couple (few) million figure from ? I haven't heard anything about financial details. Have I missed it ?
Quoted from Wickerman2:Someone mentioned 500,000 each but I'm sure it's a guess as is mine--pulled straight out of thin air. I don't think the official financials are available yet. My main point being they dumped money in to try and save the company, it's not a fire sale take over bankruptcy type situation. Everything on here is a guess until they put out something solid.
The time for guessing and speculating monetary figures has long gone. No disrespect feller but putting up figures like '2 million' could convince somebody that everything is rosy and they commit their money to a game. We simply don't know yet what the financial situation is and until we do speculation can be very misleading.
Let's just see where it goes eh ? And let us hope they pull it out of the fire, everyone gets their game and Heighway Pinball becomes a successful manufacturer of pinball machines for years to come.
