Quoted from flynnibus:This letter shows again unrealistic goals that they inevitably will miss.
Today they say they sill have parts and cert issues...
And they think those problems will extend for weeks yet
They have given zero indication they have built out or tested their production processes...
And set another milestone of if game availability is not eminent... they will offer restitution.
Well i suggest you get your name on the list NOW because they are not going to ramp from nothing to games rolling daily in less than 4 weeks.
They should be building sub assemblies now... they should be training and running trial builds. But they boast of none of this but talk about being held up before the starting line. Even with everything in the building- they would not go from zero to volume in weeks.
Their UL and CE work is not going to result in changes to their playfields or mechanisms on them. They would be dealing with power, safety, and emissions... largely stuff constrained to the physical cabinet, power, and boards systems.
Yet... no indication of building what they could? Or showing progress to prove they can?
Even Homepin showed countless pictures of subassembly build. I couldn’t agree with you more. It is entirely obvious they have not a single competent manufacturing person there now. And if I was their PR person I would be wigging out right now. JPOP by himself at least tried to assemble 10 Magic Girls. Do that. Put 5 machines side by side and build them 1 by 1 and take pictures as they are being put together. Throw up photos. Put even 1 single game out the door with white glove delivery to customer #1. Post videos of them playing it. The sheer incompetence here is just unbelievable. It’s as if you took the movie Tommy Boy or Dumb and Dumber and it was now made real.
This can only be summarized as “unforced error”
