Quoted from gearheaddropping:
If I were Jack, I would make a serious play for Lyman right now and try to lock in SRP for the next game. If not, I would work Lawlor to come back.

That would be a huge blow, but frankly, more important for Jack is to hire someone who knows how to create and run a manufacturing facility. They most likely had more games designed and in the pipeline than they could possibly get out the door, so until that is worked through, it's wasted money to have a lot of designers and coders sitting on their hands.

Look at acdc. Miles above this game in every way except the playfield art..

Yet another subjective comment with no substance to back it up. If you're going to compare games, COMPARE them.

Quoted from phishrace:
Are you new to the hobby? IM and BBH were both 99% done when they shipped. Stern publicly bragged that they were done upon release. That was 3 years ago.

New-ish. Been around for 3-4 years now. Sorry it sounds like I offended you by glazing over two of the simplest games out of 15-20 games in the past decade? Not to mention my comment was a bit tongue in cheek and was more referring to the post previous requesting a 'NIB game with complete code'. Presently it is close to impossible to fulfill that request as all the NIB IM and BBH are essentially gone.

He may be polishing games on his own time, but no way is Stern officially done with MET. They won't leave another playfield light out there that doesn't do anything. If you're going to throw stuff like that out here, you better back it up with a source.

100% agreed.

Stop worrying about code until you can conquer whats already there.

Well, that lasted about a week. Thanks.

I still will hold this game because it is my dream theme and the potential for greatness seems obvious to me. Wishing there is more to the game is how I walk away from it each time. I am definitely patient, though. It will come.

Potential is there but that 500 000 mystery hole is ridiculous. Would have take them 5 minutes to at least make you want to aim for that shot. Sure once the code is complete game will be one of the best out there.

I updated the software to 1.22 on our floor model at work Friday - usually when I do that another code update comes out right after so I have to do it again.
I'm trying!!

I think next one will be BIG. All the ones up to now have been bug fixes and hammer adjustments.

Next one needs to be big as a lot of people on the fence as regards buying. I am one of them but holding out for next update.

Huge blow? To Stern, but not pinball. Let these guys make machines with better budgets and newer platforms. SRP and Lyman are working under accountant orders right now. People can only work on things "at home" for so long before they start looking for new avenues of employment.

That's harsh and almost certainly wrong. Anyone who presumes to know how Stern operates should explain how they get all of this inside information. Personally I think it's all speculative bullshit.
