Quoted from holminone:I’ve decided. Pinheads who don’t like DI are stupid and can’t be trusted. Yes. It’s that big of a flaw in judgement. Tired of the hate narrative that still persists in a machine that is arguably the GOAT.
Partially kidding of course.
I don't think DI is the GOAT, but when I hear comments from folks like the SDTM cast say things along the lines "theme is the only thing that matters, and DI's theme sucks" I have to wonder how many newbies think like that. I don't buy a game because I like the movie or whatever; it can get me interested in a game, but I'm not getting out my wallet based on that.
If I like Star Wars, I can watch the movies, play video games, dress up and nerd out with fans, whatever. If you bring me a SW pinball, it better be a good pinball game, as I am a pinball fan. Not some Rando who stumbled into a retail outlet with 6K to drop on a the first game he or she sees.
It could be the "Rando's" are way more of the market than informed pinball fans; if so I am glad we are getting games that are as good as they have been lately. Not every game has been "the best game ever" but when I look at what has been released over the last several years we are pretty lucky!
Even DI being released is a minor miracle.
