You are kidding, right? Because this is the exact opposite. They make more money for games sold in the US than expected. Price for US customers is in US dollars. So they were suppose to earn $8,000 (or $8,500, can't remember) / 1.36, and now /1.11...when translated in euros.

/ stands for "divided by". Dividing by 1.36 gives a lower figure than dividing by 1.11...

Happy for all of you !

Pinside is a Dutch thing...

Thanks for sharing - perhaps the most convincing TBL video I have seen so far. Most shots feel satisfying - as if I could enjoy the spinner myself just by watching. Good to see the rug working. The rules seem straightforward, which is a good thing (settings for each character seemed relatively easy, right?). Videos are very helpful and well integrated. Congrats to all achievers!

Neither have shipped before the first batch of TBL.

(Not trying to find an excuse for DP)

The change in exchange rate affects DP in two opposite ways:
- it does increase the BOM as most of the parts are probably billed in $
- it also increases the revenue from US customers as you pay in $

The net result depends if most US pre-buyers have already paid in full, or if there is still a fair fraction to collect.
$8,500 meant 6,115 euros in 2014 (highest was € = 1.39$; see graph below)
$8,500 means 8,018 euros now (€ = 1.06$)
So... 1900 euros (close to $2k) extra revenue for DP, assuming paiement is made in full now.

I understand this is a sensitive topic.
But try to keep this discussion civil, thanks.

Cool! Welcome to the Nemo's owner club (all 3 posted in this thread!).

It happened because Antonio accepted to lose some money and a lot of time. By assembling his games (at least the ones for Europe) himself in his garage he kept overheads to a minimum. The model works for very small production runs, but can't be viable for 300.

I like this option. Would Roger Sharpe be willing to help them again? That would be a good start.

I'll have one for you too! (hopefully)

Gentle moderation notice / reminder:
This is a DP thread, not a Homepin thread! Please move further discussion re. Homepin in the proper thread...

Interesting theory

Lol. We all enjoyed the risk-free, US-based, Skit-B, Zidware (and even Vonnie-D) companies.
Anyone wants my Predator spot?

More seriously, risk associated with Spooky or CGC is indeed very low.

... or just edit your post

I understand everyone's frustration - Try to keep it (reasonably) polite though...

Not sure "convicted" is the right term? He lost a civil case against 26(?) Zidware customers, and has to pay them. But this was not a criminal case, AFAIK.

(sorry for remaining off topic)

Don't make hasty generalizations. I am on holidays from August 2 to August 12... (but I can't help with DP/ARA)
