Quoted from Homepin:I "imagine" they don't post on Pinside because they don't need the angst from the same 20 idiots that are intent on derailing every positive thread here.
If "they" actually bothered to ship games with finished code there would be no need to update anything - get it yet?
I don't see anyone particularly trying to derail things (apart from Pinsanity who obviously wants to troll you and who you likely have on ignore anyway). It's more legitimate (imo) concerns about the ability to update code, with feedback given in a relatively respectful way. It's your first table - as you admit yourself in the interview, not everything will be perfect. If I were a betting man I would bet a lot of money your future titles will have easier software updates. My main gripe is with location machines where the code hasn't been updated by lazy operators. If they aren't even going to update with a simple USB stick, there's no way they're going to go to the trouble of sending the board off and putting their machine out of action. I get that you say the code will be 90%+ complete, but bugs/scoring exploits will inevitably appear, making it less attractive to players.
The funny thing is, Australians are also known for their thick skins. Yours seems to be as thin as paper!
Anyway, it was a really good interview, with good questions and no fluffy answers. Good luck.
