Quoted from cooked71:I'm all for boutique themes, but I think in this particular instance, Stern has to realise that (other than B66), the poker machine market and the pinball market are not aligned.
Honestly, was Joe Kaminkow's career as a pinball designer remarkable? Was his tenure at Stern so successful? (Not a rhetorical question)
The ones he was involved in that are best-regarded are probably Guns n Roses, Jurassic Park, and Phantom of the Opera (Maaaybe South Park, DE Simpsons, and Batman Forever if you're a big fan of the licenses). All the rest go from pretty forgettable to trash (TMNT). Pretty mediocre record for a 30+ pin career.
