    Quoted from TwoHeartedMale:

    Ive always had a love/hate feeling with stern, on one hand they single handedly kept pinball alive, but they did that with paying VERY low *Bleep* and making crap games.

    Crap games like TSPP and LOTR your a tool

    Quoted from TwoHeartedMale:

    A stern person walked in on a meeting with spooky and TOHO(Godzilla)/(The Emery family drug of choice) and just basically outbid The smallest name in the game just to do it. Stern could have at least waited till after the meeting!?!?!?!? am I right?

    Have you asked yourself how did Stern know the meeting was taking place were they invited to start a bidding war

    Quoted from erak:

    Batman 66 was my tipping point.

    If you are going to bitch about money grabs then you need to talk JJP CE games

    Quoted from shacklersrevenge:

    Ever since the pro has gone up about $200 a year, and premium was once the pro by dividing it into two categories charging people $2000+ for more “featured filled games” it’s been the biggest fuck you to the collectors and players, never mind the fact that their code is totally hit or miss and the spike system is questionable at best- but provides a terrific bottom dollar for them....
    With that said, they make very fun games. It’s not shocking to me at all that they’d grab a Godzilla license to spite a competitor, Stern always does what Stern wants.
    Stern was the only company around when nobody gave two shits about pinball. Take that for what it’s worth.

    No the biggest FU is the JJP CE at over $12,000

    Quoted from frunch:

    Have you forgotten BM66 SLE?

    No I have not forgotten BM66 but that was sold out when they built it JJP CE is for every game and they are still trying to sell out DI CE game

    Quoted from J85M:

    +1 Ice, the BM66 argument doesn’t hold weight anymore, the pin is continually out of stock and on backorder at distributors (at least over here) and the only LE & SLE’s I’ve seen for sale since Lyman knocked the code out of the park sold for more than the price of NIB.

    The reason the game is on backorder is there is not enough demand to bother building them

    Quoted from mrgone:

    This isn't the first time Stern has pulled some shady nonsense.
    When JJP was first starting up Stern tried to ham string JJP by telling suppliers not to do business with them.
    Yeah, that's business, but it's still chicken shit punk ass clown shit. If your product is better, people will buy it.

    When JJP started up Jack was flapping his gums trashing Gary whenever he got the chance don't act like JJP is just a victim

    Quoted from Whysnow:

    Stern has been slowly pissing people

    No you are thinking about Pinside. Pinside is to pinball like Fox is to news you find if you spend to much time on either one you wind up in a pissy mood

    Quoted from unigroove:

    When JJP stepped in licensing companies all of a sudden had a choice.

    You must be kidding Woz JJP had from a non pinball game from his old company that means JJP has paid for 2 licences in 7 yrs boy that shakes things up

    Quoted from mrgone:

    So, jack talking smack about Gary Stern was to be expected.

    My God I bet you also say "it's not what you said but how you said it" "that"s different "

    Quoted from jar155:

    It's fine to buy a license, but to barge in on someone else's meeting is extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. But hey, "that guy" has never been too concerned with being anything other than a jerk.

    All the smack people are talking Gary is a bad guy boo lol I have no dought if Jack snagged a title from Gary in the same manner Pinside would have a very different reaction. There would be a party on Pinside with few condemning Jack

    #243 5 years ago
    Quoted from greenhornet:

    perphas.
    but what if Jack snagged it from spooky/charlie,
    as is the case being discussed here?

    Wow you still don't get it if Gary steals from Spooky or Spooky steals from Jack or Jack steals from Gary it is all the same. If you don't see that then get off your high horse as wanting rules selectively enforced is BS

    #244 5 years ago
    Quoted from benheck:

    The only reason people want to know what the licenses are is so they can whine about what themes Stern ISN'T making.

    #251 5 years ago
    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    "Competition is good for pinball," remember? It's what we always hear whenever anybody besides Stern does anything.
