Quoted from Yesh23:Yes, basically it means they’ll never make their own pinball machines again. So they’re not out of business but moving forward, they’ll be no more galactic tank forces, Houdini’s, etc..
Kind of what Bally/Williams did back in the day. They didn’t go out of business, but just stop making pinball machines, instead of contract manufacturing other stuff, they made slot machines instead.
On a bright point, you’ll still be able to see your buddy Mukesh and tell us how wonderful he is as a human being.
On an out so bright point, they’ll basically run out Cuphead with the parts currently that they have and that will be about it
I don’t believe anybody said that they would be going out of business altogether, but just not making pinball machines for themselves. Everybody has talked repetitively in this forum about how they have deep pockets with the owner because of their other business.

Per that website they still intend to still produce pinball machines under a contracted process, possibly with licenses as well under the AP label. This kinda makes sense given that CupHead technically falls under this umbrella as it was a contracted game.
Their previous marketing guy had said some major music celebrity’s estate had approached AP about making a game he said would have turned the company around as the artist was that legendary. He didn’t stay long enough to know if AP did proceed with that project or not, but he said the artist was top tier AAA level. Apparently game 8 is in some sort of active development as well, so maybe things are still moving along as they should.
