If it was in fact a pinball company who used this cowardly method to silence one of their critics then we have the right to know who this was. Imagine of movie studios could take this tactic every time a critic reviewed one of their films badly. China tried to do this to the doctor who attempted to raise the alarm on the outbreak of COVID-19 and look how that tuned out! Personally I don't want to support a company who has little value in the right to 'freedom of speech'.
