Quoted from CrazyLevi:At the end if the day stern is still the only company with any kind of solid credibility. We all know BM66 buyers will have their games soon.
The rest of this stuff is just a sideshow as far as I'm concerned. You'd be nuts to have any faith or make a financial committment to this Houdini nonsense and god knows when or if any of these other games will actually ship.
Plenty of "air" will be back for stern once they reveal.
This isn't quite true. Come on, Spooky made all 150 AMH and they are being enjoyed by owners and standing up just fine, RZ are shipping and they are over half way through their product run, they are also making and shipping the Dominoes pins which were contracted and are already working on their next game.
JJP has been shipping WOZ now for quite some time and they are doing fine, Hobbits are now shipping too and they are revealing a third game.
Chicago has been shipping MMRs and I am sure they will do more.
Stern is the biggest sure, but they aren't the only game by any means... As far as have their BM66 games soon, well I'm still waiting for my damn GB Premium that I put a deposit on in March! Honestly I expected much better out of them for that and so help me it better not have playfield issues... If JJP shows a great third game and starts shipping them before I have my GB in hand, then I may just move my cash to there. I promise many have already pulled out of GB because of all the issues with playfields and delays.
Now, Houdini, stay far and away. That part I'll agree with.
