    Quoted from RobT:

    I'd still rather have more output (more choices) vs. some type of hopeful thinking that having fewer pins released per year means fully complete code on release.
    Here's a shocker: it ain't going to happen. Ever.

    Yes, but they already seem to have the problem of incomplete releases with slow updates on a 2 game per year schedule... Throw two more releases in there without increasing the programming staff by an order of magnitude, and one of two things happens.

    1... all games get updated even slower than now
    2... any game that isn't strong out of the gate gets pushed to the back and possibly never done.

    I'm not buying half baked stuff. I bought Metallica in January and just bought Star Trek. I don't want to be sick of looking at a game by the time its right.

    Quoted from gambit3113:

    Jesus, people need to cut Stern a break. All they have done is be the keeper of the flame for a decade and a half of terrible times for the hobby, and produce a buttload of games, on time and with consistent reliability. How many times do the old ops have to remind us that even the gold standard of Bally/Williams released machines with unfinished code regularly?

    I swore I'd never buy a NIB game and wound up buying two new Sterns less than 6 months. They make great games and crank them out at an amazing pace. That shouldn't mean you can't talk about the problems.

    Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought Williams updates were to fix bugs not add missing features or completely overhaul game rules. Did Attack From Mars, Medieval Madness or Twilight Zone actually ship with incomplete rules?

    Quoted from fumbleflippers:

    Leaning on suppliers to kneecap competitors is pretty much standard business practice these days.

    I think I'm the only person on this forum that isn't a shit sucking lawer (which I say with peace and love, lol), but wouldn't that be a violation of antitrust laws? I'd expect Stern could get in major trouble if that allegation was true and could be proven.
