Can someone bullet point RAZA history for me, so I don't need to read the 395 pages?

This company legit? Has the machine been released?

Quoted from TreyBo69:

It's a game that's been in development for 9(?) years.
No and no. A few sample units have been made.

Much appreciated.

Quoted from Bublehead:

Wind... hot air, bloated and unbelievable claims, a disastrous marketing campaign, a embarrassing prototype reveal, a shamefully undersold order window, and now continuous radio silence and promised updates, which are light on any real info if and when they put one out. That about sums up where we are.

Haha, sounds like a political campaign at this point.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Ready? I'll try to be concise, but it's hard with this mess.
-Jpop takes money to build ~20 Magic Girls (2011)
-Jpop realizes that amount of money makes no sense, so starts a pyramid scheme. Takes money for ~100 RAZAs to pay for MG. Then takes money for Alice In Wonderland to pay for MG.
-Fails.
-Convinces some Chicago locals to start American Pinball, with an unplayable Houdini mockup.
-Fails, AP salvages the project with other people and becomes a pinball company.
-After failing again & owing hundreds of games to people, for some reason RM thinks it's a good idea to hire Jpop to head up his new pinball company, Derp Poop.
-RM brags about how pinball is easy and he's going to make more games than anyone with higher quality & cheaper prices. Claims they won't do pre-orders.
-RM wastes money hiring tons and tons of people to design games & create art and sound....ignores manufacturing, just as Jpop's past failures did.
-Years go by, they have nothing to show for it.
-2020, they show a proto of RAZA and invite "pinball media", they all hate it.
-Time time time time time....
-They try FOMO pre-orders, claim they'll only make the amount of games they sell within a limited time window, barely sell any.
-Now they have people's money, still don't have functioning factory for manufacture.
-So now people who paid for this game like 10 years ago, and a few new pre-orderers are stuck waiting...
-Waiting waiting waiting....
That's where the story is right now.

FFS! These owners ever chime in on pinside, or are they pretty much dormant lurkers? Ive had a few encounters with start-up synthesizer companies with a similar model, but thankfully was able to get my cash back.
