Quoted from RMS1977:

Oh, so they aren't going out of business?
I thought for sure they were because, you know, Pinside said they were.

Quoted from RMS1977:

Sounds like they are still making pinball machines. Either under the AP brand or a custom one.
Many people in here said AP would go belly up. Doesn't look like that is the case. I'm excited to see what their future holds.

Quoted from Haymaker:

That's weird, this company seems to be named Funsup not American Pinball but you know, twist up the things we've been saying however you need to cope.

Quoted from LTG:

Glad for that. I wonder either way if they'll be supporting them, or if someone contracts with them if they'll be responsible for their own support ?
LTG : )

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.

Quoted from Silvergun360:

...Apparently game 8 is in some sort of active development as well, so maybe things are still moving along as they should.

Quoted from Silvergun360:

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.

Quoted from danarchy:

I am always amazed (though not surprised after Deep Root and Haggis) people cheer-lead for a company that owes vendors, former employees, money, threatened content creators with law suits, and tried to get them fired, treat customers poorly etc.

Quoted from RMS1977:

I saw game #8. Looks interesting, that's for sure!

Quoted from danarchy:

gonna leak photos of that one too?

Quoted from MiniPinHead:

Get ready for the GTF price bump

Quoted from finman2000:

I thought you were working for AP providing technical support?

Quoted from PinMonk:

Seems like a convenient way to avoid paying anything out on the AP lawsuit(s) and employee back pay. Instead of sending more Aimtron money into AP to keep it alive, then having judgment(s) against profits, leave AP for dead, put all the new investment in Funsup, and then AP is underwater on paper, despite any profits made from Funsup on licensed or transferred AP IP. We'll see, I guess.

Quoted from Joe_Blasi:

some needs to dump and post the full restore images for all of the AP games.

Quoted from JagDaniels:

I think the idea of having a company that could build already amazing homebrews in a professional way to get it into the market is kinda cool. Maybe they pump out some own designs here and there...
Are there more companies doing that? I like my LOV so far and this was a homebrew concept right?
Look at metroid, league of legends, sonic spinball or overwatch pinball. All of them I would rather buy then a commercial company release.
