Might be best to move on. Everyone knows/has talked and mostly agrees on pricing. The game is there. Whoever bought at this point bought it. The other thread is 100 pages long. Conclusion has been set. Game is too expensive. Game doesn't look like a $20k game. I've complained myself and been pissed, but at some point I think we gotta just move on and hope pricing doesn't go bonkers going forward on all releases.
I always like finding new games I've never played. Saw Cirqus Voltaire and Theatre of Magic the other day. So many games you may never get to play, and this is likely going to be another one. It's just another unplayed game on my list. Been playing the other bond at local arcade lately and it's been growing on me and price is accessible. Looks more fun to me anyway. I'm never going to read 60th threads after this. Game is banished from my mind. It sucks the entire pinball community had to spend so much time and effort on this one game, but at least people are calling out Stern. Pricing aside, they should have just been honest about their 'exclusive' vs 'inclusive' press release.
