Boy oh boy, some here are so negative and down on me for reasons that completely escape me????? Tall poppy syndrome? I have no idea?

Mike you are very abrupt, rude and shoot from the hip fast at times, I don't think it is tall poppy syndrome more that you are idolised over at AA and therefore protected and people are not game to ask a question as they will be fired upon from everyone and it was like that here up to recently - way it is but maybe here and pinside people feel they can be honest and ask the questions that everyone really wants to know the answer to.


Swinks, it would be very shortsighted of Homepin to ONLY work and focus on a SINGLE project - I made it clear in the Pinheadz Podcast interview that we have done some "preliminary work" on our second title and I also explained why - did that explanation not make sense to you? It would be foolish to start building Thunderbirds and ONLY THEN start work on a second machine. This would add a very long time to the release of the second title as other startups have discovered.

I heard it and understood but I thought it was a contradiction that money is tight and you are restricting projects yet you are working on another pinball game when you don't have the first done (- does that make sense) but that is your choice and I wish you luck otherwise I do agree with you when things are rolling along smoothly that is the perfect business approach to be working on the next project or 2 while the previous one is in production.

As for the ball issue, I think that is sad that you blame Sid 100%, it's your business and you promoted the products so some of the ownership sits with you.
