I've actually wondered if this whole thing has now caused him cash flow problems. I mean he has obviously had overheads to pay for much much longer than he anticipated based on original estimates of completion dates. I'm guessing by now he originally figured he would be well into the Hobbit etc with more instalments payments coming from that. But trying to stretch the original Oz money out for 1-2 years more than originally anticipated could be smashing him.
I looked at his 24 hour sale recently on Invisglass that was then extended for 5 days or whatever it was and cynically thought it was a quick grab for some cash flow. Nothing wrong with that coz as a business you gotta do whatever you can to survive, but again it was a sign to me that he could be feeling the pinch.
Same again with the trickle of games. Now this is pure speculation on my part as I don't know exactly how the payments collected by distributors work, but if they don't transfer part or all of the balance due on the games to JJP until they ship, perhaps he can't afford to crank out 30 or 40 games per week. He needs to trickle them out, collect the balance of money due on those games to pay for finishing the the next handful, then send those out collect some more $$'s and so on. It might explain why distributors could get some games ahead of people who bought earlier direct from JJP. People who bought direct are fully paid up, perhaps some distributors are not?
Anyhow just some uninformed speculation on my part. Seems like there are still technical issues he's trying to fix too.
