gotta be the stupidest shit I ever heard...
Hey we are a company that almost went out of business making a few hundred games over 10 years. It took most of that time for some people who paid in full to receive their games.
And now we are transitioning immediately from that, to being big enough to be 2 brands, in 2 buildings. and the SMALLER brand is gonna make 500 machines (presumably in a year or so) while the main brand does bigger runs of other games?
What part of it makes sense? So pointless.
Reduction of liability through obfuscation ?? Same shit as euro pinball corp / pinball bros / pedretti?
These euro pinball manufacturers are covered for failure. Haggis could have taken notes.

Yeah I don't really see how this makes sense either.

Why being negative for a company who succeeded to deliver all the pins and they are now growing, the TBL is a great pin too and it plays great. Let’s be enthousiast for great product, otherwise where is the joy in this hobby ?

Dutch Pinball Welcomes New Brand: DPX (Dutch Pinball Exclusive)
Herkenbosch, The Netherlands – Building on its respected presence in the pinball industry, Dutch Pinball is pleased to announce the introduction of DPX, short for Dutch Pinball Exclusive. This new sister company marks an extension of Dutch Pinball’s existing portfolio, focusing on producing limited editions of high-quality pinball machines for collectors.
Barry Driessen, founder of Dutch Pinball, in collaboration with Melvin Williams, has initiated DPX to cater to a niche market. DPX represents a commitment to the craft of pinball machine creation, combining the renowned quality of Dutch Pinball with a focus on exclusivity.
Innovation and Craftsmanship
DPX will continue to utilize the proven mechanics and electronics that fans have come to expect from The Big Lebowski™ Pinball. However, DPX aims to further refine these technologies, producing no more than 500 units of each title globally to maintain exclusivity.
Melvin Williams leads DPX’s design and engineering, bringing a fresh perspective to the development of new pinball machines. With a background in enhancing Dutch Pinball’s technologies, Melvin’s role at DPX involves pushing the boundaries of design and functionality, ensuring that each machine offers a unique experience.
Strategic Expansion
To support the launch of DPX, Dutch Pinball has acquired additional space by securing a building across the street from its current operations. This expansion doubles the production capacity, facilitating the manufacture of both DP and DPX machines more efficiently and allowing for future growth.
As DPX prepares to unveil its first title, Dutch Pinball also continues to develop its own range of machines. Further information regarding new releases under the Dutch Pinball brand will be made available towards the end of 2024.
Looking Ahead
We appreciate the ongoing support from the pinball community and are excited about the opportunities that DPX brings. This new venture allows us to explore new possibilities in pinball design and production, enhancing the collector’s experience.
For additional updates, stay tuned. We are eager to share the next chapter in our journey with you.

If they keep the same game quality as big lebowski, why is it unrealistic for them to sell 1500 games a year?

I would guess this setup has to do with any outside investors and partners involved with the business. Fairly common really especially in the real estate world.

They are expanding, making new games, finished off a run of a successful game, and you are just making a whole heap of assumptions of understanding their inner workings of another company in another country.
Quoted from Dr-pin:If they keep the same game quality as big lebowski, why is it unrealistic for them to sell 1500 games a year?
They can probably sell 3000 games in a year.
How many do they plan on building though?

Sorry Panzer, your summation is missing on key component, and thats it took 8 years to deliver EA's pins, which just happens to coincidence with the winding down of TBL. Yes, DP rose out of the ashes and appears to be on the correct trajectory, but they still need to deliver a 2nd game, not just announce.
