Quoted from Whysnow:marketers suck! Pinheads don't need a company wasting time and money on silly things like viral flop marketing.
If this company is even real then they are really stupid in 3 ways.
1.TBL does not need ANY marketing. The game (if done well) will sell itself.
2. 70 days is silly long. It creates a ohhh look TBL may get made but all the questions wanted are lft unanswered for way too long. If they were smart they would try to keep people ingaged for the next 70 days. Reveal a portion of the game each 5 days. Reveal the designer at 35. You get the idea.
3. They are ONLY marketing to the hardcore pinball crowd at this point and we don't want any company wasting $$$ on advertising. We are a critical bunch and rightfully so we want the $$$ spent on the game itself.
Not sure I agree here.
1)Expo is a place for big announcements and hoopla. If you're 70 days out from being able to show anything, you've just missed the single largest pinball event by doing nothing.
2)We've seen what happens when the community gets sneak peaks of anything. Go read the Predator thread. See you in 3 months.
3)All companies have to spend something on advertising. I don't think a one page site, a couple of girls in uniform and some pamphlets is crazy. If I was making a new pinball machine I would want anyone to buy it... not just the hardcore pinball crowd.
Just sayin
Guys... there are such things as creativity and subtlety.
Some intelligent marketing is a welcome thing in pinball. Just because they're giving us a little bit of credit and not plastering THE BIG LEBOWSKI all over the place doesn't mean we're talking knock-off.
6 pages already! The propaganda machine is in full swing. I'd have to think we'll all be getting some sort of email update/teaser before the clock counts down.
BTW. This thread needs more ponies and boobs... and maybe some cowbell.
Oh wait.. sorry; I thought this was the predator info thread 
Let's hope whoever is behind this is gettin 'er done for all us sinners out there

Don't see ANY reason at all to buy into this today. Yeah... It's a dream theme, but since they haven't announced a production run of 50 units... why drop $1K plus instalments and ride the emotional roller coaster that'll be the next 3 years?
I'll be happy to order mine in 2015, even if it means a small premium.
Wish there was more to see at this stage given the hype.
But I'll be watching closely.
More pinball is good pinball
