Dutch Pinball

"I think Dutch pinball is in a really fragile place within the community right now. And I'm not seeing what I want to see from them. I think they are taking for granted the second, third, fourth chance that this community has given them. And they're letting little things like just communicating what's going on with these toppers for Alice really start to create a larger audience that is becoming a growingly skeptical audience."

Dutch Pinball is taking the community's second chances for granted and damaging their brand through poor communication

"If Melvin wasn't in the picture game, Dutch Pinball would have been the next haggis pinball. They would be out. They would be out of business"

Dutch Pinball would be out of business without Melvin Williams

"I don't know how they're gonna make back to the future it doesn't work it doesn't even work on paper it doesn't work when you try to do the math"

Dutch Pinball will collapse under Back to the Future orders because the math doesn't work

"Let's count it. January, February, March, April, May, June, July, we're in the seventh month of the year. And games number 50 and 54 are in America seven months in. And they need to make 500 of these games in the next five months. Not happening."

Dutch Pinball significantly behind on Alice production schedule

"How the heck is this company going to make back to the future? Like what happens when they get 5,000 orders and they're making 20 games a week?... one game in 12 years. You are not a manufacturing company."

Dutch Pinball cannot handle Back to the Future demand

"how the heck is this company going to make back to the future? Like, what happens when they get 5,000 orders and they're making 20 games a week?... One game in 12 years. You are not a manufacturing company."

Dutch Pinball cannot handle Back to the Future manufacturing demand

"if I were Barry I would see the benefit of having the number one manufacturing company make the game that's gonna have the most demand ever in the history of pinball over the last 10 years"

Barry should license Back to the Future to Stern instead of making it himself

"It makes total sense why Barry over at Dutch Pinball has been talking to someone to help him manufacture this game. Remember, they're making 10 big Lebowski's a week. Think about that for a minute. That's 500 games a year. Stern Pinball can make 800 games a week."

Dutch Pinball should partner with Stern to manufacture Back to the Future due to capacity limitations

"I am not gonna consider one game made over 11 years as a success. It is not. It is not a success."

Dutch Pinball's amateur marketing and streaming shows lack of professionalism after 11 years

"it's almost embarrassing that Dutch pinball 10 years ago has way more impressive mechs in its game than all the stern machines over the last few years"

Dutch Pinball's Big Lebowski has better mechanisms than modern Stern games

"I said, Barry, you say you're this. You say that DPX wants to be this, this and this. And you're behaving like every other pinball company. There's been absolutely zero creativity in this launch."

Dutch Pinball X has terrible marketing strategy for Alice in Wonderland

"I think they're making a huge gamble. It's not what I would do if I were DPX. I would go get some real IPs, make them limited and make them special and design them from the ground up"

Dutch Pinball's strategy of remaking J-Pop projects is a huge mistake

"this game shouldn't even be called Magic Girl, it should be called Magic Cat, cuz this thing's got 9 lives, I can't believe the news story I'm reading right now that DPX, you know, Dutch Pinball Exclusive, has trademarked Magic Girl and Raza, like these games never die"

Magic Girl project should be dead - DPX trademarking it is like Zidware 2.0

"they just did what I've been saying a pinball company should do for the last 10 years"

Dutch Pinball's new exclusive division DPX is exactly what the pinball industry needs - limited production runs for collectors

Dutch Pinball recreated the BLE Williams magic better than anyone

"So my prediction is that Dutch pinball will get to another game. And then it gets really, really interesting. I don't think they have the money to secure a great license."

Prediction: Dutch Pinball will get to another game and then it gets really interesting.

"Now, here's my prediction, though. I think Dutch pinball is actually going to do it. I think they're going to sell enough Lebowski's."

Prediction: Dutch Pinball will successfully sell enough Lebowski games to succeed.

"Barry, you still owe people product that you sold them nine years ago... Why are you spending money on a party to celebrate your factory? You shouldn't be spending a single penny on any party."

"Now first and foremost how can you look at a company like Dutch pinball And not say that they've been somewhat of a bust I mean think about it they took orders from customers And they failed to get customers their games For years many of these men who spent $8,500 on a big Lebowski Have been sitting with nothing"

Dutch Pinball has been a bust due to failing customers and poor business model

"Barry as a one man operation with no real money left, with no manufacturing set up, with no team around him, with barely any support, with what must be a mountain of debt and other issues plaguing the company... So how is he going to accomplish what it takes Spooky a year to do when Spooky is a well oiled machine"

Barry/Dutch Pinball unlikely to deliver 500 Big Lebowski games in a year

"I do I think these games are going to hold their value for a few reasons. One, there's only going to be about like four to 500 games in total... there's no pro version of the Big Lebowski. There's no premium. It's just this one version with everything in it"

Dutch Pinball Big Lebowski games will hold value due to limited production and single version

"the more I read about the story and Barry and just like the notion of owning this game, I just started to get sour a little bit on wanting to own something made by Barry to be honest"

Barry at Dutch Pinball repeatedly fools people with empty newsletters

He's using curse words, he's still using like the dude and all the vernacular from the big Lebowski. But I think at this point he needs to drop the whole stick. Like he needs to stop making light of this situation. And nobody finds it funny. It's not hilarious, it's actually at the point now where it's really pathetic"

Dutch Pinball's Barry continues making false promises to customers while using unprofessional communication style

"Barry's a crook. There's no way around it... At that moment he decided that his ego and his personal desires outweighed the harder money of his consumers. He then became a crook"

Barry from Dutch Pinball is a crook for prioritizing his ego over customer interests

"I don't want to hear laughter and I don't want to I don't want it to sound like you're having a good time here because five years have passed and the majority of your customers have been burned"

"Dutch pinball a company that has no manufacturing capabilities right now a company that has never manufactured a single pinball machine before themselves has just put out on a podcast that they're gonna make 500 games"

Dutch Pinball's plan to manufacture 500 Big Lebowski games in one year is unrealistic

"They need Ponzi scheme economics to bail this company out. They don't deserve another shot at this. They should declare bankruptcy and let somebody else build the game. Give up the dream, Barry. It's over. You don't get four to five chances to make a company work."

Dutch Pinball should give up and declare bankruptcy rather than attempt another restart

Barry from Dutch Pinball is engaging in Ponzi scheme behavior by selling customer games to new buyers
