Quoted from BoJo:

This is what I hate about Stern. They did it with TWD and now JP. For location games where I can barely hear the audio that is fine but if I'm buying a game for my home collection then I want the full package and not some generic zombie or dinosaur game just using the license as the title and art. It's one of the reasons I enjoy the Soprano's and if they made it today it would probably be a generic mafia game with Soprano's artwork.

Quoted from freakandgeek:

True most adults cannot afford a pinball...but a show based in the 80's with appeal to people that are GenX obviously has more potential sales. Rick & Morty is a show geared towards teens or people in their twenties.
I have never watched Rick & Morty, the only people I know that have watched it are my son and maybe a few of his buddies. They can afford a burger and shake after class but are years from being able to buy their own pinball machines.
I am sure their are some older manboys that are fans of the show, but in general one license clearly is more in the sweet spot here.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Spooky’s only making 750. So, I’ll bet Stranger Things. Lol.
If Stern was making both? R&M. Pinball buyers love HUMOR. Humor is rare when most licensed games are based on serious/action subject matter or music. R&M is one of the funniest shows on TV, and having it’s main funny voice guy doing custom callouts is going to be amazing.
Again, you total underestimate the show’s popularity with the pinball buying demographic.

Quoted from kvan99:

Stranger Things is of course a better license and in my opinion a better theme, I'm sure RM is a great show too but how you translate these into a Pinball game is what really matters. With SS, you have Hawking's Lab, you have the Demogorgon, you have Will's hideaway..all of these can be a central toy or sculpt...then there is the music, and all the memorable quotes. You have the struggle of defeating gov agents, the Demogorgon and escaping the upside down...What is the central theme of RM? Is it easily identifiable as SS?

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

Which brings up the old question ... if Spooky can sell all the machines in a month, shouldn’t they figure a way to churn them out faster than 18 months? Asking someone to wait 6 mo is about the limit of what is reasonable. Spooky needs to expand, in spite of what Charlie thinks.
If Spooky sells it, they need to build it, and that means quickly. Maybe the new model should be sell however many can be built in six months. In this case Spooky needs more horsepower.
