Quoted from chessiv:If all the games had been delivered already the negative posts might have stopped. Even if jjp were a year past original promised ship date none of this would have happened. I highly doubt anyone here doesn't want everyone who has paid for a woz to get their games quickly. If JJP delivers hobbit without asking for any money on the next pin this may all be forgotten. Anything short of that expect the controversy to continue.
Just because JJP needs pre-order money to build The Hobbit doesn't mean there has to be name calling and jabs about the company or its products. What needs to be forgiven because JJP is asking for pre-order money? I prepaid for a WOZ ECLE, got my game, love it and therefore don't mind doing the same thing for The Hobbit. The same can be said for many others.
I know I can go out right now, buy a Stern game and have it delivered to my door in a couple days. Why do people still wait then for their WOZ ECLE's and others 6+ months for a Hobbit? It's because JJP is making a great quality game, is offering value for the asking price, is including tech and innovation not seen in other pins, and is exceeding all expectations on code. People will wait and preorder for products like that.
At least games are being built and delivered as seen in this thread, other threads and on the JJP Google group. If production suddenly stopped, quality began to suffer, the LED board issue was never fixed or if the code for the game wasn't no where near the point it is today (yet another update was released yesterday) then I can see why some of the more harsh comments would be warranted. That's not the case though and therefore some of the complaining is simply trolling by those that don't own a WOZ, have one pre-ordered or ever intend on buying one.
