"It is unfortunate that the unprecedented COVID-19 (Chinese coronavirus)"

I'm assuming Robert wrote this. Only he would be dumb enough to include racism in the message. Fox News started this BS.

#7902 4 years ago

^ WTF?

If you see racism in that message I would suggest is says more about your own preoccupation with race than anything about Robert's views!!!

Dumb and racist. For someone you've never met, I assume, that's awfully presumptuous.

No wonder the guy stays outta this sewer!

Seriously...it's fatiguing all the insta judging and branding we do to one another, often total strangers. How does that make daily life more mellow, enjoyable and peaceful?

How is it racist to say that something that came from China came from China? People that take anything and turn it into being about race when it has nothing to do with race are extremely infuriating (I've been told that preferring white milk over chocolate milk is racist). Please take that elsewhere.

#7905 4 years ago

I’m sorry but white milk<chocolate milk always and forever. No other opinion is valid. You racist!!!!

Quoted from thedarkknight77:

I cannot wait for this launch party! This is no doubt going to go down as one of the biggest, most over hyped jokes in pinball history! Robert is already backpedaling and spinning. Just remember Robert, we cannot be wrong, we are the buyers of your games. When your Deeproot launch is met with disappointment and laughter by the community, you won’t be able to wordsmith your way out if it. This is not fake Corporate America, this is the real word! Games shipping in 2099!

Not only is that fine but it's also PC correct to call it the Wuhan virus... weird huh? lol

Wow, first he's too brash and a prick, then it's too late to change the tone, now it's backpedalling...

Why can't you just wait and see what actually happens? - Wich IS actually changing (to the whole market) due to chinese Corona...

...wich maybe is not meant as racism but Robert only thinks people are dumb and he's talking about the beer (wich just makes hundreds of millions of loss due to people actually thinking that these are related)?

Summarized: Robert thinks you're dumb, I've just proven that as an absolute fact.

Science actually called it that until 2 weeks ago (2019-nCoV, COVID-19, COVID-19 virus, Wuhan coronavirus und Wuhan seafood market pneumonia virus), but the chinese city of wuhan and the country of china somehow didn't want the honor of being named as origin of the disease (like they allready are for the chinese rat coronavirus), so you're not entirely wrong. Only 99,9%.

Quoted from o-din:

I'm sure their investors are a lot happier they put their money into deeproot pinball instead of the regular stock market.

I’m HIGHLY doubting that Spicoli since it happened long ago

For example, Apple was trading at $145 around Xmas of 2018

Now, today it closed at $277 a share

So, if we do the math Spicoli, what do you think Mr. Hand would say?

Then again Mr Spicoli I’m sure math was never your strong suit! But a few tasty buds and waves bro....

Mr. Hand was Spicoli's teacher and nemesis in the Fast Times movie. Hadn't thought about that one in years. Ray Walston from "My Favorite Martian".

According to the Chinese, its was the US Army!!!!

Soo, whats it like walking about ready to be super offended. You must be a joy to hang with lol!

Too bad about all these cancellations though, real people are going to be affected by a virus that was cooked up in a Chinese lab, to divert attention from HK, that got out of control.. Or did it???

I'm rarely offended by much, really. But the name of the virus is clear: Covid 19. There has been an uprise if violence toward Chinese ppl since the outbreak. Changing the name to something racial does nothing good. And I never said Robert was a racist. I just said, as I have before, he's an idiot when it comes to p.r.

#7921 4 years ago

Actually Covid 19 is the name of the disease you get from the virus... if we are counting chickens...

SARS-CoV-2 is the name of the virus.

Quoted from DS_Nadine:

From DR Website:
"deeproot Launch Information
UPDATED 3.12.2020
our launch day events will continue as-is

It’s irresponsible to hold anything but a virtual event given the pandemic.

#7925 4 years ago

It's irresponsible to buy so much toilet paper.

But do you have toilet paper before you touched your face?

Quoted from Tranquilize:

I agree and thought the same when I read those words: why call it the Chinese coronavirus? That doesn't help a bit and has no purpose at all.

About Deeproot: good that they're revealing online. I do hope they present some nice games, with a Barry Oursler or another designers game, but I do fear it will disappoint. We'll see: whatever the reveal is, I always like to see new game(s), even if it's only just a game that's been improved since last showing. I don't know if that'd be enough to keep/get Deeproot out of trouble though (if they're not in big trouble already, that is).
In 10 days we'll be wiser than now (thanks to DS_Nadine for counting ).

Agreed. Other than the direct impact the virus may have on deeproot’s launch, it’s just not relevant to this thread. I am not minimizing the seriousness of the situation we are all in, but it is not necessary for every thread to get infiltrated with coronavirus talk...there are other threads here on Pinside dedicated to it.

#7929 4 years ago
Quoted from jellikit:

Some people are afraid to shake hands because of the Corona virus.

I'm afraid to shake hands because of the shortage of toilet paper.

Yes and no.

Of course it affects the Deeproot reveal, but it'll affect them (and the others) after that as well.
I srsly hope for DR to have some breath left, because I assume business as a whole will slow down for a while, since a lot of people have other things to take care of now.

There’s zero chance this event happens in two weeks. Unless they are about to run out of money and seriously have no other option.

They will be ok - they would be way under the 250 person threshold for gatherings I would think.
If they got 50 people to show up I'd be surprised.
Let er rip. Do the big reveal.

They did mention it will be well below 100 people. Don’t know if that reflects the original attendance or the anticipated attendance post-CovidFest 2020.

There’s a really small part of me that thinks I will still drive down for it, but given that I am currently sick (just a plain cold, no fever), I don’t want to be “that guy” who unwittingly infects others.

Even prior to this, the majority of the world was going to experience the reveal via the Internet. I don’t see how this changes things that much for the launch itself.

#7938 4 years ago

@ cjhand - Kudos for exercising good judgement in regards to health and health of others. Everybody should do this. Thanks.

#7939 4 years ago
Quoted from PinballManiac40:

Did Barry say if it was a licensed or unlicensed theme? I am looking forward to it as well.

I don't really care if its licensed or not, too many people see that as being the most important.The 2 games I have by Barry are not licensed and I love them. Thats why I'm excited about this company and the titles. They aren't hiding behind a license to cover up a bad game like you know who.

I'm super excited for unlicensed themes. I was more motivated to buy DI because it was unlicensed. As long as the games are great, I'll do my best to support!

#7941 4 years ago

I have to say, this thread gets the Seinfeld award. Almost 8000 posts about nothing. I saw it getting hot and low and behold, it was about Robert being racist now. At this point I never want to see the pins released at risk of this thread dying

Keep it going Deeproot thread about nothing!

#7943 4 years ago

I'm very much looking forward to the rebroadcast of the reveal.

TPF would have been awesome but I'm dying to know what titles they have planned and if possible, when they expect to release them.

#7944 4 years ago

Barry has an impressive list of unlicensed themed games that are very popular.

Seems Dennis was more involved with licensed themes.
