Do you want games to ship weeks after the reveal or do you want a 3 year ongoing development cycle after a game is revealed.

The premium doesn't look like too many other games. Sure it has elements of other games in there, but you can't look at it and say "2 ramps, 2 loops, and a bash toy, great another generic Stern!".

When was the last time you played AC/DC Pro? You sure play that artwork.

$1000 per shot on the playfield!

Don't forget to nail off the catapult and disable the diverter to be really accurate.

By reminding people what a real upper mini-playfield looks like?

The premium looks like a totally reasonable $6000 pinball machine, makes sense to me. Drop the pro to $4500 like it should be. Baby you've got a stew going, what other changes can we make?

You could fit a whole 'nother playfield up there!

Hand drawn art? Check. Rule of thirds? Check. Lightning bolts and explosions? Check. Main characters from the movie? Check. Frame it baby.

The Pin has a spinner, inline drop targets, a spinning disc toy, physical locks, a weird half loop ramp or something, it's everything we want in a game, we need to team them up with those Zizzle art guys.

The game looks like AC/DC where the premium is the version to have and the pro is for people who want the premium but will say how great and fast the pro plays to convince themselves they don't want the premium. Making the premium art awesome would make everyone shut up about any of the other art, that would be the version to have anyway.
