Quoted from MapleSyrup:Pardon??!!!
My problem with all the negativity that seems to swirl around Stern is that I think it comes from misaligned expectations.
People talk about Stern as if they are Sony, or Ford, or Apple. Yes, they are the big player in the pinball world... but they are a TINY manufacturing company, in a super small niche market. Happy flipping.
I'm wondering if anybody considered that if they didn't do these high price points they go bankrupt? We have no way of knowing either way but like what was said above small volume that could keep getting smaller.
