Quoted from CrazyLevi:

I don't think anybody is calling for the game to be banned or "canceled" so put away your wokeforks.
Some people just think it's stupid and/or offensive and won't buy it. Nothing wrong with that right? Everybody is entitled to their opinion.
I mean, the game ain't for me, and I decided that long before seeing the game had hilarious jokes about fudge packing. But if you want to buy it and proudly display it next to your signed Larry the Cable guy poster, hey I'm all for it. Go for it!

Quoted from Sorokyl:

They have some 3d printed stuff in lov and Oktoberfest actually. You can tell in the pinside photo gallery.
But, it's a lot harder to tell because they made the effort to paint them..makes a huge difference. Maybe they did some post processing too, I dunno.
Unless someone comes out with some really cool mods pretty quickly that integrate with the existing lighting and mechanisms, I'm gonna have to take all these 3d printed pieces out, sand/fill them, spray them and then hand paint the details.. really not looking forward to having my brand new game taken apart for some days but I just can't handle it..
Think we've beaten this horse long enough though. Anyone wanting to relive several pages of bitching about the 3d prints just search the thread.
How are the sound systems on AP games? People generally happy with the speakers , etc? Headphone jacks?

Quoted from MegaFeenix:

WTF is going on in here?

Quoted from Biju:

I didn't see it on the floor at all and I went both Friday and Saturday.

Quoted from SpacelySpliffs:

Nitro didn't have a booth at the NW show. They had a private suite in the hotel attached to the venue with a GTF and few other games to play. Access was provided through email invites to their customers. Sounds like AP didn't know that.

Quoted from SpacelySpliffs:

Agreed, sorry you were unable to play it. To be fair to Nitro, they did make a Facebook post that indicated anyone could come by, you just needed to message them to gain access to the suite. I don't think limiting access of the machines to anyone was the goal. They didn't have a booth, and haven't for years, so they couldn't really showcase anything. That's why I thought it was weird when I read what was said by David Fix in the post above.

Quoted from flynnibus:

For the same reason they have distributors - to represent them regionally. Even Stern doesn't present at most shows, but uses Marco and Cointaker as their primary venue for show presence except at expo.
This is the role of distributors... unfortunately Nitro has their own baggage which means a conflict that obviously wasn't all that well communicated.

Quoted from flynnibus:

The owner of Nitro was accused of some sexual harassment and unwanted innuendos/advances from some pinball people he would party with. They put him in the corner, let the wife be the face of the business for awhile, waited for it to blow over, and now Tommy is back from being in hiding. But clearly the NW folks have put their foot down over the past allegations.

Quoted from JodyG:

Does anybody believe anything out of Fix's mouth at this point? He seems like he is the president of a bullshitters club and gets high off his own farts all day long.

Quoted from KozMckPinball:

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Quoted from flynnibus:

Yes, where a pro would be like 'Ok, what kind of presence will you have? Where on the floor? What else will be in the booth? What other manufacturers will be there? Is there marketing opportunities through the show? Can we use our presence to gain promotion by the show?'
I'm going with the 'don't tell, dont ask, dont tell' theory.
Nitro skips that detail, AP didn't bother to ask, Nitro took the opportunity not to tell.
I mean, it's not like this is the first pinball show AP has done, nor are they so far outside the community they shouldn't know the history with Tommy. I mean, they hired a pinball legend to run them! /s

Quoted from EternitytoM83:

So they're not integrated with the game? You use a remote to set the color & pattern?

Quoted from blueberryjohnson:

What was the answer?

Quoted from TreyBo69:

Big win
