Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but these kind of blanket topic posts are really unfair and don't really convey the whole context of the situation. To start with, everyone's idea of a "complete" or "finished" code package varies greatly from one pinballer to the next. Pulling a number out of my ass, I'd bet 99% of people that play pinball couldn't tell you the exploits or bugs in most games, let alone Dwight's in particular. Furthermore, you're comparing apples to oranges when you consider the amount of actual code in a game. When I look at GOT and SW there is a tremendous amount of code (and polish) in those games. The level of detail and time that went in to get those games where they are now had to be markedly higher than many other recent ho-hum STERN releases with "finished" levels of code. I'd love to live in a world where I can have my cake and eat it too, but that's seldom the case and usually there's trade-offs. Personally, I'd take GOT or SW where they're at, bugs and exploits and all, over many of the other titles that were released and had "finished" code relatively early but were boring with little depth. But lets be honest about that too - - how many STERN games, no matter who's programming them, are really at 100% based on everyone's opinion? easy, ZERO. Because no matter what, someone, somewhere is gonna find something to bitch about. Hell, even after all those years when Lyman came back with epic Metallica and TWD updates there were still a bunch of people whining about more things for him to add and fix.
I just hope the programmers don't tune into this forum too much, and if they do, I hope they have thick skin, as a lot of the topics and comments have to be really demotivating.
