Quoted from Dbaum88:...They do read Pinside obviously...
of course they do, they (all pinball companies) all do
Quoted from PanzerFreak:It's now been over a year since Stern put out this October 2017 Stern of the Union address...
And the decision is, I need that developer working on the [incomplete] game that he's gonna release soon [or it will be more incomplete], and then MAYBE we can put him on to Ghostbusters...
+/- 18 monthes ago i had private talks with Dwight (i will not copy/paste them here) about GB code, in summary he already explained me what Gomez said above, nothing more, nothing less... than there's still hope, but...
Quoted from PanzerFreak:If Gomez can say that Ghostbusters code has "definitely been delayed" after a year from their Oct 2017 State of the Stern update well customers can also say "my next Stern pinball purchase has been delayed until code for Ghostbusters is properly completed"
a bit rude, but i can understand few are thinking as it
to me (as a player), have sold GB, and bought TWD to replace it, no more code probs...

may be STERN does not care (about us)
i've read few didnt want to buy NIB pin from them anymore
and to me, i've sold my GB because of the code, and only for that (i'm still thinking this pin could be a very good one if... )
than, not sure, but 1 guy+1+1 ... +1 may quickly become a prob (or simply not ?)

i have to play arms crossed, as 99.99% of us
but my son has a brain advantage : he can still play right the same (than at a good level) while not crossing his arms !!!
this is quite incredible to see, same with THE SIMPSONS...
Quoted from lpeters82:...the code is fine, but not polished...
sorry but no (from a "player" point of view)
the general idea is there, OK
but code is still buggy, scoring is unbalanced, things are missing... its actually far from being complete, and for sure need more than just a polish... :/
Quoted from Deez:...I don't get why people that are so upset with the code don't just sell the game and move on instead of having so much angst. It's a game.
you're right...
and i'm too, having sold my GB just because of the code state :/
easy (lazy) coding for LIBRARIAN insert could be : cards video mode
and than having the dont cross the scream video mode on the other scoop
Quoted from tpir:It does. It completes the mode and rewards you a jackpot
did i missed that than ?
as yes, i've done it to WARTBY...
anyway, that doesnt change what i think about GB code, and pity because as lot of others, i think this game could be at the top for sure

its a bit strange, but surelly that's the point : they're still building/selling them as it, than why would they need to update the code !?
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Don’t think you should worry about GB slipping off the newsletter. If Stern was ready to pull the plug on GB code, they would release a final update with minor bug fixes and announce it in Stern of the union. Grappling with what impediments there are besides brain power and elbow grease. My guess is the task of completing GB code keeps getting passed around from person to person and that the parameters are unclear. A Stern programmer makes progress but is pulled off and the task is reassigned. Repeat five or six times and suddenly it is July 2019.
There some structural problems with the current approach, bugs are everywhere, the final wizard mode is missing and lots of polishing will be required. GB code needs a Project Manager assigned and for an approach and schedule to be developed. I’d be happy if Stern of the Union let us know who this person was and committed to releasing it in 2019. Let’s get this one knocked out and put a big red bow on it before Christmas.
GB would be a good title to vault, or to just keep running on the line. If code was radically different or significantly better as a result of Stern’s efforts, demand would increase. Stern would benefit from new sales and increased goodwill from existing customers. Everybody wins.
we've just found the new guy who was reworking the code...
Quoted from gdonovan:ah, thank you! I'm giving some thought to buying one, it was a fun first experience playing.
pay attention ! this change every time you hit the captive ball...
and this is in the wish list : a setup choice to have this NOT changing every time by default, reverse is nice if it remain reverse during all the mode
Quoted from zaki:Just got gb. The scoralli brothers drop targets cause a lot of air balls. Is there a fix for that?
yes... selling the pin
ok, its a bad joke (as i like GB)
than no real fix (some may talk about the spring)
best way to avoid this (and its safer in gameplay) is to shoot them on backhands only
evbd with me, and on the beat please :
...
If there's something weird
And it don't look good
Who you gonna call?
...
Quoted from BrewersArcade:Thank you for the honest update Dwight. All of you that sold of your GB are going to regret it in the coming months
i absolutly do regret NOTHING !
as TWD did replace GB, and now DI replace the TWD...
but as said already, if GB code reach what i'm waiting for, than why not getting one back later !?
if you're a collector : new code should change absolutly nothing about GB...
if you're a player : new code could change all from nothing, simple as that...
we'll see what happends (or not)

Quoted from Rager170:Just out of curiosity, what are the main complaints with the current code?
while asking that question, you than must be part of the 11% happy with the actual code !?
i understand your feeling here, as i love GB too... but from a "player" perspective, really need more than just some tweaks here & there
let's see/hope than

for those talking about mystery+luck : did you check for a "competition" mode ? as for example with AFM, and than mystery always give 50.000.000 to evbd, which is than fair (if you're competing)
this is of course true for all pinball giving a mystery, the better example is BS DRACULA... as sometime you win a game with points from mystery :/
