Relax ladies. Kevin is probably just waiting to ship until the code is complete so he doesn't get skewered on pinside.

Quoted from gawcol:Can someone tell me the whole story? I check out this thread and can read some between the lines, but what actually happened?
People paid a lot of money to a dude who had done nothing up until that point.
Dude did nothing.
People are pissed.
(edit) People can't understand why they are pissed.
Quoted from MapleSyrup:I've been speculating on some hypothesized outcomes from some third hand information. According to my calculations, which are all based on ballpark assumptions overheard in conversations about unrelated cost analysis, we could be in for one heck of a ugly legal situation... Assuming my complete lack of understanding of federal, and civil, and international law is grounds for a...
I've looked up several things on Wikipedia, plus I know a guy who used to be a lawyer, and I run a non-profit business... Though truthfully, it is not intended as such. I simply don't make any money.
Here's what I know.
Kevin actually is a hardcore pinhead, who wanted nothing more than to make a Kick-Ass pinball machine. Unfortuantely, when he called the number on the back of the Kick-Ass DVD, they were not interested... I kid.
Kevin was a well meaning guy who got in WAY over his head. I feel bad for everybody here. Certainly everybody who put money on the line to support a guy with an idea, but I also feel bad for Kevin. His dreams are crashing down all around him as we speak.
He was never equipped to make this happen, and now that it's falling apart, he's even less equipped to manage it.
I hope for the best possible outcome for all involved. I hope everybody who put money in can get the lion share of it back, and I hope Kevin can get out of this mess and move on. Anybody who's met the guy knows immediately that he had no I'll intentions. Naive? Yes. Scam? No way!
Let's hope cooler heads prevail. There is a solution here that doesn't involve massive legal battles, and protracted headaches.
Took money for a product he couldn't deliver? That's a scam.
Quoted from jayhawkai:I wish Aaron was still participating in this thread, if only to shed some more light on the extent of the license involved. Has anyone actually read it? Please tell me this "license" for Predator is not simply based on a phone call to a Fox rep.
Jeeez there was never a license. Get over it.
Quoted from RobT:You know that some people who have deposits in on TBL will be asking for a refund based solely on the Skit-B fiasco.
They should be.
