Quoted from Yelobird:This game especially at the CE level wasn't really about the money.

Quoted from spinal:For me JJP has always stood for "if it's not ready, then we don't ship". Every time I play my WOZ I'm reminded of that.
Are you kidding me the first WOZ shipped out was a nightmare they had to stop shipping for 6 months to figure things out
Quoted from CrazyLevi:What rumors and speculation?
They released an official video clearly and explicitly detailing their plans. Did you watch it?
There is a lot of speculation that things will get fixed like TH not happening
Quoted from spinal:It's not final as there's one more final that comes after that final
Quoted from PinMonk:Pinside is not the world. JJP is definitely selling more than in the hundreds per game.
I do not remember if the original LE runs for WOZ and TH were 1,000 or 1,500 but they did sell out DI LE at 2,500 has not
A common theme on Pinside is to estimate games sold times by highest price posable and say Gary is rich of Jack will be fine. I have seen the estimate on distributors share as low as $200 and never as high as $1000 a game. The fact is distributors share for a game is %40 to %50 of retail so an LE POTC JJP makes $4,750 to $5,700
Quoted from pipes:Not sure if I'm reading this right but are you suggesting that distributors are making more per game than the actual manufacturers? A POTC LE costs a distributor $4750 to $5700?
Quoted from Yelobird:Not a chance and far from fact. At best I would Guess (not fact) they make 10-15% Tops. Throw in a few machine issues and I would be amazed if they make money at all. The distributors are not getting rich at Least not to the tune you pitch. lol
LOL like I said people will not admit that distributors make over $1000 get over it. Who in their right mind would buy a DI CE for $11,000 in hopes of selling it for a $1,500 profit yet here we are 18 later and they are not sold out. The only way the profit margin is that low would be Jack fronts the games distributors pay for a game only once sold. A %100 mark up at any retail establishment is standard
Quoted from hank527:We will see what happens when 200 plus people want their money back. Does JJP have the funds to make it happen.
I think most money back will be coming from distributors making %10 at most
