I don't mind delays that allow the game to be a better product in the end, but the unfortunate thing about The Hobbit being delayed is how it kind of offsets its timing with the movie release, and having this game available while the movie is still in theaters would probably be of benefit to operators, so it's disappointing to see operators losing out on a good opportunity due to production delays.
Quoted from JerseyJack:Hate to say this - many months ago - we offered some local operators Hobbit games for the movie opening and they never replied to us.....we offered them to Warner Bros for the Premier's too - dead silence. Pinball is like mice nuts - we all have a lot of work to do - it's big to us - the world does not know pinball - especially on location.
Not to go OT - at IAAPA - people were coming over to our booth and pulling the plunger, pressing coin returns, hitting flipper buttons trying to start the games - nobody knows to press start - or to press start to add more players - very poor job on location the last ten years - none of the operators I spoke to told me they were planning to buy any pins - new or used - I did change a few minds though.
That is an awesome solution to that issue, although it's sad to see that it got no response. Great work Jersey Jack
