I just think it's kinda funny that THIS is suddenly the straw that broke the camel's back with regards to you people who blindly buy every single NIB like it was a friggin' subscription service. Sorry, but I don't believe any of you saying you quit Stern. Stern's been egging you on, trying to get you to quit them for years now. You're still here.....

- Stern switching to a non-repairable node-based architecture that is prone to [daisy-chained] failures didn't get anyone to quit them....

- Stern removing the high power cut off didn't make you quit. I mean, they DGAF about your safety, but it's cool I guess....(they've since added it back).

- Speaking of power, they saved 68 cents per machine by just putting the power button in the head, where it's convenient for literally nobody. Since the savings are so minimal, you know they did this just to mess with us. You didn't care.

- Stern switching to bottom of the barrel garbage cabinets and playfield wood, so lightweight you can bench press an entire Iron Maiden over your head and throw it like Ultimate Warrior. That didn't move the needle with NIB buyers....

- Stern insisting on using up every last drop from their printer ink cart before switching to a new one, causing really light ink being put down on so many of these playfields. We're over here yapping about clear coat, but the part under the clear coat? The whole thing you look at while playing? No biggie.

- Wood grain showing? Eh.

- Higher prices? Meh.

Nothing is going to stop you. You will continue your Stern subscription and you know it.

(But I really do hope many of you can in fact stop buying NIB until they step up the quality or lower the prices.)
