How about at the next speech that Gary is giving people keep interrupting him when he is talking. Hopefully, he says, "Can I finish?" then you say, "It doesn't seem you have been able to since Lord of the Rings!" *rimshot*

Are we going to stop now that the higher selling games got updates? There is still X-Men with bugs including an end of game (you cannot play the villains anymore or get to danger room again). They took out the mode that reset everything as they didn't feel like finishing it.
When will they understand that by giving up on a game, sales will never increase on said game?
I am not asking for new features, just fix the bugs.
Quoted from flashinstinct:We can see how TPF will go. I would do more but I don't know all the bugs for all the games so people have to let me know here or via pm.
The worst part is that the game "ends". There was a final wizard mode, but it was the Lonnie default one where it is shoot each shot twice. After you finished that mode or lost the ball, all the hero & villain inserts went from being lit to off. After they took out the "placeholder" mode (as Stern called it), there is no reset meaning you cannot fight any further villains and also the heroes start shot counters don't reset back to default. In my opinion, it is hard to get to this, but not impossible and would be a kick in the nuts for anyone that does. Pinball is the game with no ending, yet it basically does on X-Men as everything is either disabled or takes too many shots due to the reset being removed.
Quoted from Aurich:If only it were that simple.
I've been just as frustrated as anyone at the situation at Stern. Frankly I even let it get personal, which was just stupid on my part. I won't disclose who it was, but I had a very nice phone call with someone at Stern recently to clear the air between us, and it was rather enlightening. We're good now, and I have a better understanding of his side of things.
I will say this: people are Stern are not dumb. Nor do they not care. So while I believe it's our right, and maybe even responsibility, to speak up about our concerns and hold them accountable, it is good to remember they're pinheads and passionate just like we are. There are much easier and more lucrative ways to make a living, especially as a programmer.
I don't think wearing that shirt is going to actually improve or help anything. But feel free if you like. It might take a little while, but I do believe we're going to see positive improvements. Not because of this campaign per se, but our voices do matter.
Since you have inside knowledge, can you explain (other than cheating out on a game that didn't sell well) why Stern thinks it is ok to shirk its responsibility to the people that did buy X-Men and not fix the bugs they introduced in the last update. How they removed the mode without thinking of the ramifications is beyond me.

X-Men is one of the best Stern layouts. The code is also great. Fixes needed:
1) Left inlane doesn't need to flash on the Pro in Ice-Man mode for the second shot as the ramp does not move.
(Need to confirm this still happens in 1.51)
2) "Reset" for the Hero inserts after Danger Room mode ends.
(Bug added in 1.51 when final mode was removed)
3) "Reset" for the Villain inserts after Dark Phoenix mode ends.
(Bug added in 1.51 when final mode was removed)
Really simple.
