Quoted from SLAMT1LT:Probably sack all the expensive 'talent'
I was never under the impression that working for Stern Pinball would make you rich. I'd guess that most of the design/engineering talent are actually working below the general market wage, but willing to make that trade off for working on a cool product like pinball machines.
I'm also guessing that the "partner" that Gary brought in to bailout Stern Pinball years ago is raking in most of the dough.
