I’ve been around long enough to have a opinion: Stern sells allot more pins for sure.... mainly because they are cheap and they can crank out the volume. I’ve owned 10+ sterns and every JJP pin (and about every Williams / Bally A game). My advise is don’t fall for the hype and pumping of any pin here on pinside - go play the heck out of what your considering first. My preference - you get much more from JJP in terms of quality, code, toys, immersion, value, lastability, and your supporting a family run organization of great people who’s focus is building the best games in the world - unlike stern whose run by an investor group and their bean counters.

Quoted from Vino:

Like it or not, Sterns sell because home owners can afford them and enjoy the gameplay while operators can rely on them to make money.
JJP is moving toward this model with Wonka as it’s been successful and sustainable long term.

I agree

Your gonna love Pirates Ice... I’m thinking I should have said the hell with it and gotten the CE but oh well. What’s nuts is how good the game is and it’s only at .99

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

It takes forever
too many potential ball traps and things that can break
thousands of "action button" hits may damage star player's hands damaging tournament's reputation
terrible streaming game for audience thanks to convoluted overbaked ruleset and difficulty in following ball/action
constant rocking of boat playfield may cause motion sickness for players and viewers
besides that it's perfect for tournaments.
When choosing games these days it's more important than ever that suitability for streaming is considered. I wouldn't consider POTC a good game for that purpose at all. Besides the issues described how am I as a commentator supposed to boom a game where there's always 15 things running at once and a good game with 4 players takes an hour?

Or maybe it’s this kind of backward, pompous thinking that makes pinball tournaments so unwatchable. Your quite the ambassador.
