Sterns biggest problem has always been code, not theme selection. Always will be. How many games have failed because of bad code? Too little to late, everyone has moved on to the next title. Stern leaves a lot of money on the table.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Huh?
Stern's problems history, going back through the DE days.
No top talent for design
Lower quality mechanics
Cabinet paint that flaked off
Low quality art
Spinners that don't spin
Terrible sound
This gradually started to get better with the release of Monopoly. "Code" has NEVER been one of their problems, and still isn't. Your average Stern game today launches with code that surpasses the complete release code of 90s bally/williams classics. People still don't know what they are complaining about when it comes to Stern code. And they never will.
POTC machines were shipped without skill shot code, just to start. No need to mention X-Men. But why go on, your right, unfinished code has never ever been a problem at all with Stern.
