Designers should stay true to themselves. Do not let the powers that be restrict their creativity with unreasonable low production budgets. Please understand that even though the Manufacture takes most ownership of the finished product. People who know pinball always refer to the designer as the true owner. This is your vision and your reputation at stake. Fight for what you believe in. You owe this to your fans. We are loyal and understanding but not gullible. We have a good sense and realize when there is something missing. No we are not in your head but we can feel when something is falling short. Please stay true to yourselves, your fans and this wonderfull thing called pinball.
Thank you for creating and preserving this great hobby.
