But Mr Stern does not ask for $$$ up front
Most WoZ buyer have been fully paid up since last year
stern has capitol already, and i would believe most who bought the machine would understand that the money people are paying are helping fund the startup business, its a gamble but every one should certainly have understood that.
this would be the only part i would defend JJp on,
they really should have done a similar system to how the guys who are making "Zombie adventure land" have gone about working out dates.
I having built motorhomes know how easy it is for contructing something new leaves dates out the window,
you give dates and it always bites you in the arse, tooling failure or supply issues, you main worker gets sick, Whatever it always happens gaurenteed on a start up buisness, those things cvant be predicted. are out of your own control always popup when saying definitive dates. its a wrong move. it is so easy to go over a deadline in construction.
at the end of the day, he is NEW and i doubt understood what the construction side intails.
he might have been around for a while but has he built a factory of pinballs ?? no.
he fell for a common newbie mistake working out dates on best case senarios. it is his fault yes, but You have chosen to be part of something new, and of this process.
as for JJP being bad or good for stern, who knows they are both making the same sort of machines. movie based titles, with photoshop playfields. none of them making original games. thats JJP's problem more than anything else. prety much doing what stern are doing.
Maybe people would have been more forgiving if they weren't so similar to stern as far as what they are building, just with delays on their games.
The zombie adventure land game deserves more credit than JJP imo. and recon if you want to see some future innovation in pinball you should jump ship to that project over JJp and stern.
