I don't see much difference. I think 2016 was a quieter year for Stern on game releases. GB, Batman and Spiderman vault and two of them were towards the end of the year (BM only just started to ship around xmas) (oh and pabst thing). 2017 we've had two big games already; a big Vault (AC-DC) and atleast one more game to come that will probably start shipping end of the year... games are a year cycle so...
It seems we either have a choice of quality or quantity...
In my view I'd like to see bugs fixed atleast; new features would be good too but thats a bonus. The features of the machine have to be delivered so that stuff on the play field is used in the game.
The only games I expect updates are BM'66 because its simply not complete and its a marque pin for Stern, if they don't sort it then future big pinball machines will tough to do and Star Wars.
My personal view is that Stern will eventually come good on all of these things. Yes we all want it tomorrow but I think Stern are pinball folks who want to do a good job thats hard in this environment.
