Quoted from Pinchroma:Gweem,
A europe based distrib purchased a bunch of machines day one.. That distrib backed out of their purchase and automated purchased their day 1 allotment.
Automated wants their standards first. Regardless of what "type" of game is built the same quantity of machines is still built in the correct order as ordered. There is no conspiracy here as much as folks are trying to ruffle feathers.
I still don't understand how ANYONE bought a bunch of standards on day one. Are you saying that standards were being sold to distributors from day one? If so, how much for?
