Quoted from wrb1977:

Oh how you think you know everything... Yes, it took me a week to decide as I’m thorough and wanted as much information as possible to make an educated decision, your point?

Simple... it was not obvious nor transparent. Just as someone as yourself who had self declared for months you were “in” had to step back and pause.

Quoted from wrb1977:

I was not jumping on people for incomplete info, I was jumping on people for wrong info. The word on the street here in this thread was that deeproot offered no warranty, which I felt like correcting. Do you understand the difference between incomplete info and wrong info?

And i hope you understand the difference between more than one scenario- which is why I didn’t say you were outright wrong. There is the matter of that agreement and the goodwill agreement for others - both which seriously limit your remedies.

Quoted from wrb1977:

I’m still reeling from you opening my eyes that once I receive RAZA I’m going to have more than my $500 deposit on the line...damn what did I do???

Then why keep bringing up its only $500 on the line when the discussion was about warranty?

Make stupid arguments win stupid prizes

I keep telling people this and they keep not believing me.

You know, Barry and Nordman are just kind of hanging around, nibbling on cold chicken wings...it's starting to get dark...they've already set up your game for you, selfies have been taken...you kinda start yawning, hoping they take the hint...

I'm curious if deeproot is actually going to honor their vaporware offer, or if they're going to pretend it never happened.

That was last June - do we know who the "winner" was?

From my reading, there would be at least five winners. Now that DR has officially launched perhaps pin2d can provide an update

#17008 3 years ago

It said subject to change... but really , that's every day at the Root.

Kind of like - Your mileage may vary. Good thing they are not manufacturing cars, they are at 0 mpg so far.

Can you please sent me a link to the Stern Warranty page on their website so I can compare how it compares in coverage.

Pick a game, any game. Page 61 for this one: https://sternpinball.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/LedZeppelin_Pro_web.pdf

This isn't about warranties. This is about the silly giveaway marketing that JPop no doubt wrote.

#17015 3 years ago

Understood though to my order history I typically receive the Manual Post purchase so seems of little value by comparison After sale. Think that was the focus of concern as of late.

With about anyone but deeproot you could look at a previous game's manual to see their warranty page (assuming they don't change much).

Déjà Vu... and déjà fait (already done)
Antonio Ortuno delivered my game (Quetzal Nemo) at my home and assembled it for me
10+ hours drive and one border to cross.

Not sure he would have done it for 100+ games.

Did Ice get kicked from this topic?

I miss his boundless enthusiasm and youthful exuberance.

#17027 3 years ago

He's done this before but he always come back.

Man...just checking in as I have not kept up with the latest. So what’s the deal? Are games actually gonna get made/delivered?

This company came in and talked a a big game stating plans to launch multiple titles....gave people that lost money a chance to take money or wait for a game....is this nothing more than delusions of grandeur?

Endless dumbfuckery. Probably some, assembled by hand, eventually. Correct. In some cases. Yes.

I hope he comes back. I've been known to kick back a few, but Ice gives some awesome informed opinions on wealth accumulation and strategies. Id buy every badass pinball machine that may or not make it to market to, if i could!

Was it supposed to be 5 days of deeproot or 5 years? Seems like the latter

It’s 5 days, give or take 5 years

Hey let's pick it up. Only 7k more posts and and the Jpop thread count is history! I wonder if that will happen before a pin is released?

We are the greatest
Ship more games than anyone
Oops. Pinball is hard

External expectations
That’s on you, not me

"You can invite up to four friends"
Oh gee thanks for telling me how many people I can have in my OWN HOME who are you the CDC Gestapo?

Great I can invite my imaginary friends over, and see my imaginary game!

Sorry could not resist. What a Sh@t show.

It’s all Jpoop as Ben says.

Great companies have level 5 leaders and the right people on the bus.

Its so funny he sends me a love letter calling me a crybaby even though he's got a block list a mile long and has to deactivate. Come on Ice! You're Texas tough! TBH I like having him around, hope he comes back soon.

Quoted from alexmogil:

never said consecutive days

Are we really still pretending that wasn't just his way of weaseling out when it became apparent that they had nothing to show back then?

Comon Levi, Kim, ice is one of the greats here. He is never mean and often hilarious and fun to read. These threads are informative but most importantly entertaining, and without him, I believe, we lost a great dude and lots of entertainment!

I agree completely Bill.

#17050 3 years ago

Fine you guys got me convinced. Unban yourself Ice!

Would be nice though if he'd stop not only diving headfirst into every scam in pinball, but stop doing it in such a way that he encourages others. I'm convinced he's at least partially responsible for all of the non-existent Aliens people "bought" from ASOA.
