This is like a bookie with consert tickets.
They are contributing to the community by taking other community members money and in the long run helping the pricing on machines go up even further.

Quoted from ISayIts4MyKids:For people that claim it's "bad for the hobby" I don't agree. If you're a manufacturer and you see this type of activity does it make you more or less likely to be open to making new games? I think it makes you much more likely to make new games.
How is it not bad for the hobby when prices go up, simple because speculation?
Quoted from o-din:Who cares what's good or bad for the hobby when it has been turning out so many turds over the last few years that make some of us wonder why we are even a part of it. And also attracted so many sniveling mama's boys that will nickel and dime you to death.
Well i care, i think it sucks when community members leech on other members.
I was also really pissed in the other thread were people was making excuses for big company threatening to put pressure on employers (hypotethically), when people voice concerns or critique for products.
With such community members, how do people expect to make pinball more popular attracting new members?
Quoted from o-din:WTF would you want this? Just make prices go up even more like they have been doing over the last couple decades.
And last I checked, pinball was about man against a machine, not throwing some Tupperware party to get every Tom, Dick, and Harry, and all their women involved.
The more customers, the more demand for products, the more products, the more companies, more competetion between companies, the more pressure on companies, with a good community, more events, more notice and the good spiral.
The less interest, less companies, less products, less spare parts etc etc etc.
Quoted from o-din:Then you get more companies pumping out watered down products with shit quality and themes at a higher price like we have been seeing over the last several years.
This game is the exception and should command a premium.
You think that a bigger and stronger community and a higher demand for products, will make products worse?
Quoted from o-din:It already has. Although this community you speak of might be bigger, but not sure about stronger.
The demand is so small and the community is so weak that stern is pretty much in a monopoly situation.
How is that working out?
Just imagine a global strong community, with a demand for 2million games a year.
Williams would be a small player and the likes of lg and huawei were the big fish.
Then stern would be mentioned in the same sentence as homepin, well it would be out of buissness with the spike and shite games.
