    It's easy to get complacent at the top. Meanwhile literally everyone else is gunning for that spot.

    Quoted from kpg:

    Here is what my $8K got me with Stern...

    What a bummer man.

    Quoted from Cornelius:

    Perhaps I'm naive, but I don't understand why a pinball machine would be shipped without completed code.

    This is pretty much how every device you have works.

    Also, in a manufacturing business you aren't making money unless widgets are going out the doors.

    Quoted from Cornelius:

    Respectfully, if I buy a TV, and it has a button that says "input", but that feature is coming soon... I'd buy a different TV.

    The comparison is flawed. A pinball machine with non working insert lights or modes not yet implemented doesn't prevent you from using the machine.

    Also, a lot of people do choose to wait until the code is fleshed out before buying a Stern. Why can't both kind of buyers exist? If people want to buy games thinking that the code will get future love, who cares?
