Quoted from benheck:To be fair, worldwide supply chains are F**KED up at the moment. Major integrated circuit shortages, car plants are shut down waiting for chips to stick in.
It's probably worse for DR as they are new and thus not a priority for vendors scrambling to help long time customers.
It's obvious COVID was much worse in China than their evil government let on, and now we are seeing the reality echoed in production.
chips aren't made in China though, their silicon technology is years behind. TMSC in Taiwan (not strictly China) is suffering from changing of demand cars->computers/tablets/webcams->cars and then Huawei bought up a huge amount of supply for their needs and then a shortage of water which is required in the process. Underinvestment outside of Asia means there is few places to have chips fabricated other than Asia. Intel today announced plans for a new fab in the US and Europe which is great news.

It is good news.
Unfortunately AP / China is building like 20+ fab houses now.

Oh no you didnt. Lots of pro-china peeps, truth suppression peeps in here.
According to them the WHO is bad ass and communism has a place in todays society.

In a wild coincidence- all 150 ordered pinbars happened to be on that ship
Quoted from Bublehead:When passion boils over into name calling and flame wars, the real fun of Pinside starts to fade away, IMHO. People getting butt hurt on Pinside is as old as Pinside... When someone kicks me in the balls on here, I don't tuck and run, I just take a break from it if it was too brutal, or more often than not, just let it ride. I have a passion for playing pinball, not knob slobbering on about this manufacture or that. And if someone doesn't agree, I'll argue my point, but I try and keep it about the issue, not the person.
Ok, so let me slob on a knob here a little for any other manufacturer in competition with dr who has actually delivered a machine. Way to go, you showed them, they said you couldn't do it, but dang it if you didn't get Thunderturds are Go out the door... what? It sucks more ass than a 2 bit hooker? Well it can't be that bad... ouch, really?, worse than Popeye? I didn't think that was possible... well it had to be better than Vacation America?... oh come now Zizzle wasn't even that bad...

This barge continues to captivate me. Doubly so because I got a cargo van stuck in 2 inches of snow over the weekend.
Now 343 pages dedicated to a pinball company that has never produced a single game that shipped to a customer. How many more pages do you think it will take to get the first game shipped? Or another way to put it how many more pages will be posted before a game is actually shipped?
Wow 343 pages and that doesn’t even count the other thread where people put money down on the game but still have nothing.
Quoted from Concretehardt:[quoted image]
This can’t be real
On the other hand
Oh the irony
In the pre-order thread, Punny Factory has now officially shown more pictures of pinball parts than DeepRoot.
Can’t make this shit up.

It really is comical to see that photo of that gigantic ship with that tiny tractor trying to dig it out.
They are gonna have to send in a salvage crew to take all those containers off to lighten this thing up. Nuts.

This isn't surprising. For all its faults, Pinball Adventures has publicly demonstrated greater competence than has Deeproot Pinball.

Oh I don't know -- their thread has had zero activity for the past 45 days (or is there another one besides https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/another-new-pin-reveal-12-16-punny-factory ?)

YouTube "Costa Concordia" to see how they removed that shipwreck. Insane engineering, and cost nearly 3x what the ship did originally!
Quoted from Zablon:If we pool all our pinball monies, it'd probably be cheaper to just dig a new canal than unstuck that ship.
I'm 100% in on a non-refundable pre-order spot on a new Suez Canal bypass.

Whats truly funny is they will have that ship moved before we see a single machine delivered by deeproot...

Well of course, that's why there aren't any machines! They are on that stuck ship! (I shouldn't say that though, my luck that's where the Aliens are).
Quoted from Zablon:Well of course, that's why there aren't any machines! They are on that stuck ship!
I was actually thinking along the lines of what Ben H. said about the Costa Concordia... that took like 2 plus years to figure out... and how long has deep root been trying to deliver RAZA? Moving unmovable objects seems easier than pinball...
Quoted from benheck:and concentrate our ire on Jpop.
I have tried... See here -> https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/twip-is-deeproot-the-next-misadventure-or-a-pinball-revolution/page/342#post-6203212
Sometimes I think someone let all the air out of the JPop punching bag... maybe we need a PTC remake, JPop Collector's Edition...

It would probably be faster to just build our own Raza’s too.

If it takes you longer than the FRIGGIN APOLLO MOON MISSION to remake Cyclone.... You might be a hack.

they mentioned on the Fox Business Channel this morning, that it's costing 400 Million per hour and 5 Billion per day having the canal blocked....that's Unbelievable

No problem for the richest pinball company of all time.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it affected production. The games are being built in Italy and they may have had Chinese parts due to come in.

That's pretty nuts. That's the kind of thing you'd do on purpose during a war (well, you'd sink it fully)

That’s because no one cares. Funny how pinball works, sometimes. DR has sales, but can’t get games built. Punny looks like they can build games, but no one wants to buy it. 
Quoted from benheck:That's the kind of thing you'd do on purpose during a war (well, you'd sink it fully)
During a war things would be different. Explosives comes to mind. Instead of trying to free the ship intact and not hurt it or the canal.
LTG : )

Tbh I don't believe PA can build games either, at least not at the BS rate they claimed. I think they said they have like 2-3 guys building the games. Luckily they will probably get less than 10 orders so it might be feasible.

Well I mean, clogging up the canal would make sense. Could starve the EU of a lot of gas, especially if you have the Russian pipelines on your side.
Quoted from thechakapakuni:I sense a video game in the works. Maybe Deeproots next pin?
Those salvage crews are hungry. Send in the FOOD TRUCKS!
Leaked Future Deeproot Themes??
Titanic

I thought those containers were full of perishable food? Better start opening them up before it spoils
