Quoted from zr11990:

Stern will use the shit PFs and worry about replacing the ones that actually go bad later. They will cross their fingers and hope that it doesn't ghost enough for them to have to replace it. They only do what they HAVE to do. Stern is not your friend and they do not care about you or pinball. They care about making money. Do not think for a second they wouldn't pass a turd off on you and hope you wouldn't smell it.

Unless there was a health or safety risk, this is what most businesses would do. A risk analysis would be done that weighs cost to trash all the playfields from the suspect vendor still in inventory against the cost to replace a calculated percentage of bad playfields with new playfields.

The percentage would be based on number of direct complaints from buyers that received their games already.

They then apply that percentage against bad playfields still in inventory to determine if it makes sense to use them up.

Hell...even if there were a safety risk companies elect to do this analysis.

Frankly...the other end of the spectrum is the Jpop debacle were nothing ever happens because the principal cannot stop tinkering, making improvements, or even begin to execute against a business plan.
