Maiden is a solid pin, though mostly code driven. Layout is fun and unique.

JJPOTC was cool to play. Tons of EVERYTHING.I think in the home it’d be interesting for a long time. Might worry about parts availability b/c there will be so few.

Deadpool tried to be unique but is is a miss. Like “struck out swinging.”

SW to me was ”struck out looking.”

Quoted from TwilightZone:

If this is true, I really don't understand why. I think this is the best game JJP has produced. It's absolutely fantastic.
Back on topic, if money isn't an issue, JJPPOTC gets my vote. Incredible game. Very fun to shoot. Love everything about the game except the plunder thing. Would like to be able to disable that if possible.

It didn't sell. BIG delay in production from announcement. A tired, previously done license. No licensed movie sounds/clips.

That added up to few orders. So rather than ordering a huge number in parts in bulk for production runs, they essentially killed it.

Conversely, WOZ has a ton of parts still in the warehouse, which is why a new Yellow Brick Road edition is coming out. They weren't going to do that w/JJPTOTC.

Quoted from f3honda4me:

It did sell. Very well actually. In fact they haven’t been able to keep up with demand. Their current outstanding orders will take them into April to manufacture. The reason is so they can move to the next game. They also did not say they’ll never do another run of POTC. It is very likely they will.

So "it's selling so well, we're halting production immediately without plans to make more and moving on to the next game."

Do other businesses follow this "logic"?
