Quoted from Zitt:

if so... I find it bad form and really anti-Pinhead to remove videos he already published. That right there would end any "relationship" I had with the guy.
If Stern or the copyright holders made him pull it... then that freaking BS. You need to be upfront with the community ... not rip the carpet our from under them.
Ofcourse it's all speculation - but silence would pretty much confirm the situation.
I'm happy for the guy... but honestly; in either case - I really don't like the heavy handed bullsh1t that appears to have just gone down.

Quoted from smassa:

There are plenty of sources out there if people really still wanna see what it looks like. Man this is good news for the community and it's sad that people are trying to find a negative spin on the subject.

Quoted from Zitt:

Argh.
I really don't understand why you guys are "OK" with this.
At this point; time to drain this thread as there is no NO HOPE for a explaination from the OP.
IMHO; this guy is now on my "list" for being a tool.

Quoted from Aurich:

Ah, glad to see some videos survived. It's documentation of pinball history. Defending that being erased is really baffling to me.
I get it, people are negative and shitty on this forum to Stern. Over and over and people are tired of it. Fine. But don't start white knighting every stupid thing they do in response. That's not helpful.
I'm sure Keith had his reasons to pull them, and I really and truly wish him success at Stern. I don't know him well, but I've played Archer and talked to him about it, and seeing it manifest as a real game in some fashion would be awesome.
But whatever comes out I want to be able to pull up the old videos and say "check this out, this is what it started as". It's why we geek out over whitewoods and prototypes and cool old stories. Don't throw history under the bus just because you're excited about some new game that might come out.

Quoted from L8vid:

I still have pieces of history scattered about my garage floor, and a blob of history where my paint can nozzle dripped flat black...

Quoted from Zitt:

So; in summary - I'm happy for the guy. Just not happy with the way he treated the community.

Quoted from Zitt:

Dude... There is a concept here.... we share information for the well being of the hobby.
