This is puzzling and sad to hear.

Two weeks ago Phil contacted me privately to invite me to the Houston show and attend a VIP party as his guest. He talked excitedly about "whats coming" and how the "next game will really blow people away". The way he talked would not indicate he planed to leave the company anytime soon.

So this is quite a shock. Sorry to hear.

Pinball needed a guy like Phil. Following DP from Expo13 to now has been a fun ride, because of his imagination and vision.

Quoted from jellikit:

It appears that all the videos featuring Phil on the Internet have been removed...

Not all.

I think that DP will be absolutely fine here, and be 100% on track. The marketing job for this deal was over around Expo... they can switch over to autopilot until they need a marketing campaign again for game 2. When that happens TBL will have carved them out such a reputation that 50% of the work (in regards to quality and craftsmanship) will be take care of up front.

Phil was absolutely critical to DP's success to date, and TBL in particular. I really enjoyed a hand grenade being tossed into the dusty old repetitive and predicable pinball landscape at EXPO. Phill will be missed... but DP will be fine.
