When I initially contacted DP to acquire a BOP 2.0 in 2015 I was super excited to get in on this game. Through Basic word of mouth I was more than willing to put down 2500. Fortunately for me when I contacte DP I found the Lack of professionalism and acountability in 2015 telling. My experience working in start up consumer electric engineering firms set off many red flags. Its extremely difficult to produce consumer grade electronics overseas for US market to begin with. So my logic overode my faith in pinball and avoided DP.

When I actually saw DP in person at Chicago Pinball expo and got to play TBL and Bride 2.0 in person. I actually felt horrible For not standing tall with DP. So I tried to buy a Prototype but was unsuccessful in that endevor. As a huge fan of TBL and impressed with what I saw at Expo I decided I wanted in on the action. A few thoughts kept pinging thru my head remember your friends horrible Magic Girl experience, the horrible customer service from DP and I just got the feeling that DP should of been producing something more substantial than this prototype. But the love of the game kept pulling me in. Fortunately I delayed a little to long in calling Cointaker to make it happeN.

So DP has a few problems to overcome. In EU money to bailout companies like DP can be had, but why not for DP? Seems to me there may be other issues DP isnt being up front about. We know there are a few issues with Gameplay and engineering. Probably some licensing issues, export cost and lack of skilled workers. Factors that make it tough to convince government lenders to give DP a shot. Seems like DP should have some other options available to them. Hopefully they will take a deal, learn a lesson and come back like a Phoenix. These guys were successful to a point, made a few mistakes and with a little faith could make it happen in a big way. The games they wanted to build were amazing.

I thought they had offshored this project to People's Republic of China or North Korea or something.
I guess that didn't happen.

Is there any possibility someone could make this loss into a win? Or is it like a bad Cryptocurrency investment. Lost

Sad when creative people make horrible business decisions. You could make a play by play book for success and they typically want to toss it out the window. Really think things would of turned out different had it been produced in US. Pinball has sure changed in last 6 years.
