Quoted from flynnibus:

JJP's vision was to build games targeted at the high end collectors... there is no shame in the reality that they aimed HIGH while Stern was aiming lower. It's the whole premise why Jack started the company...

If I didn't know better, I'd ask you if you're new to the hobby.

"I'm not building a home game. I'm not not building a game for us. It's not built for that. This is built as a commercial game to go out on location".

Quoted from flynnibus:

Come on... you know that was just sales talk. That was classic "yes its for everyone.." (dont niche yourself) posturing.

I'm not sure how "I'm not building a home game" is a yes to everyone. You obviously didn't watch the video.

Quoted from flynnibus:

JJP from the outset set out to make that premium, top shelf type of game. That... not roi or earnings reports seem to drive their design choices. They want their games on location... but its not their primary customer.
They dont aim to compete with a stern pro

Again, watch the video. Operators and ROI were Jack's primary targets. He literally uses the term primarily. He said basically the same thing at all the seminars. Jack has worn a lot of hats in his career, but he's most proud of being a former operator. I understand this as I'm a former operator. I got a lot of enjoyment from providing games for people to have fun with. Jack was riding the high from his WOZ pusher being a success with the public and operators and he thought he could do the same with a WOZ pin.

He talked trash about Stern at seminars. Seems like some of those videos are deleted now. He wanted to compete with Stern, but found out it wasn't as easy as he thought. I believed what he said and I hoped he would be successful. Steve Ritchie told me he thought Jack could start his own pin company long before JJP was announced. I'm disappointed they've pretty much abandoned the operator market due to pricing, but I understand why it happened. They're making amazing games, but it's going to tough for them (and everyone else but Stern) if (when) a recession happens.
