Quoted from jar155:Sort of feels like Stern is just pissing on fans at this point. They have HIGHLY questionable QA going on and they want you to start putting deposits down on games going forward? Oh, and they are going to invite some people to buy a game? So they'll reach out to you when they want you to buy something, but they can't bother to talk to you like a human if you have an issue with their products?
Total joke of a company right now.
Stern right now is very lucky they are the only major pinball company right now. If they had any real competition from another major producer then all of their missteps would result in major restructuring. As it is this is the story "The Emperor's New Clothes."
For those history buffs, this has the Ford Edsel written all over it.
