Quoted from Trekkie1978:Since you seem to know so much more than everyone else, can you please elaborate on which company was going to fill the void if Stern closed up shop in 2008.
Maybe no one in 2008. But by 2012 other makers were coming onto the scene. If you think a couple years of no new pins being manufactured would kill 50 years of history then maybe in your eyes Stern could be the only saving grace for pinball.
I believe that without stern in the picture, nostalgia would have still pushed the hobby into the size it is now, and new manufacturers would have came out of the wood work. (Like they have, even despite Stern saving the industry)
