This argument just keeps going on and on lol. Stern isn't in business to satisfy the handful of Pinsiders that are going to complain about code no matter what they do, they are in business for the other 98% that really don't care and can simply enjoy the game. Every game stern ships is perfectly playable and will get updates over time to get better/deeper/more fleshed out. We all know that, it's been the case with every game in the last decade. Delaying production of new games to make sure that rules only a fraction of users might ever see are completed doesn't make business sense at all. The first priority is survival and company income, which means games on the factory line. Getting the rules hyper detailed to satisfy collectors or high end players can be accomplished over time. Granted, most collectors including myself have never reached the code points that pinsiders complained about like it was critical for the game to operate Give it time to be updated, or give it time until you buy the game and life will be so much happier.

Quoted from Baiter:

Stern is wasting their time with deep rulesets because only 2% of their customers care about it?

I most certainly did not say that, I said they are doing what any smart business should. Prioritize. If they put 80% of their resources to satisfy 2% of the customers that's really dumb business. If it's the other way around and they put 20% to satisfying the 2% other pins make it out the door on schedule and satisfy the vast majority but the more detailed updates take a little longer for the hardcore. In the end everyone's happy, albeit not as quickly as a select group would like it to be. That clarify what i'm trying to say?
