Too late. I made the suggestion to Stern a few years back in one of my YouTube vids... Steve on F-14 Tomcat 2 to coincide with the release of Top Gun 2.
It was clear as crystal Maverick was going to be a monster hit. Same with Bohemian Rhapsody when I was working on Queen. Gotta get the game out at the same time as the movie to ride that free marketing wave.
Pro tip: keep your peepers glued to what big movies are currently in production.
But as we know, any old Rock band game will shift no matter what. The safest bet a pinball manufacturer can make. Provided it's a real band... not bloody Spinal Tap.
