I am surprised that no one put up this "philosophy" by JPop (around the 19:17 mark):
"Part of the problem is that you can't work on a game for four years and not finish it. You have to finish it in a reasonable amount of time--cut if off, move forward, take all those extra ideas and put them on the next game and the next game and kind of keep it going. Because people don't want to wait like five years for a game."

Quoted from toyotaboy:im excited to see a video of deeproot's manufacturing process.
I'm not sure that my brain would be able to handle the awesomeness that is quad-assembly (or was is octo-assembly?). But I'm willing to give it a shot.

Quoted from iceman44:They are currently hiring "assemblers" here in the area so I'm assuming we will find out shortly.
Do they look like either of the two pictures below?

Quoted from iceman44:A. A game or games get delivered; OR
B. Deeproot pays the claim; OR
C. You can elect to carryforward your "deposit" if the deadline is missed
Either way it goes everybody that signed the deal is a winner.
I think you are getting a little ahead of yourself with the "winner" comment. None of those things has even happened yet.

Quoted from brucipher:Anyone who accepted the goodwill terms and doesn't take the money is silly (being nice *coughstupidcough*). Use the money to buy a different game now, play it for a year or more, then sell it to buy a deeproot machine.
Or not. 
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Is Deep Root the only company who has figured this out and brilliant enough to take this path?
Well, they are going to revolutionize the pinball market, so maybe this is a start. 
Quoted from PantherCityPins:Again, I go back to the fact that the ONLY thing that Deeproot has done so far that has a direct impact on a pinball customer is give them a way to recover some of their cash losses.
And until those customers actually see that cash/machine, one could argue that deeproot has still done nothing.

Quoted from DS_Nadine:Srsly now, 150 posts in one day about NOTHING and in the end it's Deeproots fault that this thread continuously explodes?
You should srsly overthink your priorities in life.
Correction: 151
Quoted from blueberryjohnson:And don't forget the outfit in charge of all this pinball coding is turner logic, the group that makes Robert's websites but has zero prior experience with pinball.
Well, in all fairness, they did develop his financial software as well.
RM: Turner Logic is providing most of the software. They designed our financial system. Like everything else with the project, nearly all of the innovations and designs are my own. In the case of software, Turner Logic has put their own spin on it for implementation.

Quoted from greatwichjohn:Even quad or octo manufacturing might get people away from line manufacturing.
Robert's made up manufacturing process ain't doing anything.
Quoted from greatwichjohn:As for JPOP maybe he was smart & took a vacation.
He should take a long, long vacation.
Quoted from greatwichjohn:I truely hope all employees find employment elsewhere quickly.
You mean except for JPOP, right? (Unless you mean as a barista.)
Quoted from greatwichjohn:Finally lucky for me I could not go to Pinball Expo this year & do a seminar on Deeproot Pinball (my thoughts) on how to try to survive & actually make pinball games.
And lucky for everyone else, I suppose.
Quoted from toyotaboy:a goonies pinball needs a pirate ship for sure, a waterslide, maybe an organ with a section of playfield that breaks away.
Don't forget the ball-save shoutout, "Goonies never say die!" as the ball is auto-plunged back into play.

Quoted from DerGoetz:news like these make me giggle in anticipation
If $1.5 million gets you 10 years, what does $60 million get you?
Quoted from CrazyLevi:The only one who couldn't see it was the grand wizard of failure himself, RM.
Yeah, him. But also some in that "other" thread.

Quoted from blueberryjohnson:I note that the lot numbers haven't changed (380 is still listed), so it would be trivial to identify the ones were pulled

Lot14-15 (resized).png
Lot16-17 (resized).png
Lot25 (resized).png

Quoted from blueberryjohnson:Were you able be cause you had screenshotted or otherwise captured all 380 when they were up or do you have a way to access removed ones after the fact?
Earlier pages were captured on 3/13 on the Wayback Machine (https://archive.org/web/).
Quoted from blueberryjohnson:Here's that company/service, owned by Turner Logic: https://SnackDot.com
How did this post go by without comment? Holy crap--it is just me, or is this a solution looking for a problem? The only thing missing is the octo-display.
Quoted from SirScott:-it is just me, or is this a solution looking for a problem?
Quoted from benheck:Not that weird. My old graphic artists job we had a box like this refreshed once a week.
Okay, Ben. I'm okay with it "being me."
But very strange (still) for a software company to be supplying companies with bananas and granola bars, agreed?

Quoted from CrazyLevi:That concludes the Deep Root story.
But we haven't gotten to the microwaves yet.
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:I think the difference with deeproot was the “endless money” NOBODY guessed this was a huge retirement/insurance scam. The endless funds really threw us off the trail. We all wanted to believe in a JJP level Angel-investor who doesn’t care about profitability and believed in a “growth company”
Didn't Robert say at one time that it was his own money that he was spending? Or was that just speculation?
Quoted from Richthofen:Even if he told customers “and affiliates”, he has a fiduciary responsibility to his customers.
In his defense, most of the "affiliates" did have the name "Deeproot."
