Quoted from robotron:stern is always after the new money. same happened to kiss. no different here with bm66, except i thought they would throw you all a bone for spending all that money!
gary stern says keep your eyes on the ball, keep your eyes on the ball and thats for new pins and future releases. old games get tossed aside very fast. its the same with every new pin.
The longevity of the title in the public's mind is shortening with each release that is for sure, but the opposite effect is now the length of time that the early adopter buyers are now having to sit on their purchase for 18 months-2 years convinced that the miracle code update that will somehow change the public perception of the title is just around the corner.
