Foley's Unfotunately Back...
davidrfoley:
I'm not going to make up some false statement about how I tried to steal the MAME trademark when that simply isn't the case.
I appreciate your suggestion, however I could hand out free crisp $20 bills and the haters here wouldn't take it because they are so closed minded that they can't possibly admit that maybe THEY made a mistake in persecuting me without knowing any of the facts.
Like I have said before, the MAME topic is a very dead horse, and continuing to beat on it is a waste of time.
I'm not going away. I'm here to make positive discussion about current products. If people can't get beyond that, then they shouldn't participate in the discussion. This isn't a flaming forum, it's a forum to discuss arcade controls. I suggest those that despise me may do so, and since they will never buy or use anything that I am associated with should excuse themselves from the discussion and allow those that actually have something to contribute get on with it.

I didn't claim units 30,000, you did...

Do you happen to be privy to Ultrapin sales figures or something? How can you know it wasn't profitable? In the arcade business, selling just a few thousand machines can be enough to cover your bottom line.
According to David Foley himself, they sold 30,000 Ultrapins. That's more units than Stern Pinball
sells in a year.
It's one thing to dislike a guy, but to let that cloud your judgement ...

Let's see what Foley himself personally posted yesterday... ::)

If they swapped out for your version and didn't license it from you, then I would contact Global VR and demand your royalties. Since the product is dead, there isn't much to gain, but they did ship about 150 to 200 machines, so it would be worth something.

150 to 200 machines is a far cry from 30,000... ::)

My statement was "first person who opens one up". Send one out to one of us and we'll do just that. :)
