Quoted from usandthem:And for peanuts...Enjoy your 8K game while the guy on the line makes $9/hr. or @19K per year. It is pinball's dirty little secret. Slave wages to build toys for rich people, kind of like China. I have a moral dilemma every time I purchase a newer game. I've never bought NIB though, so that eases my guilt a little bit, but not much.

Total garbage. Interesting article from 2014 perhaps some evidence to your ignorance of the truth:
"One thing Wastler and Gannon discovered while making their new "Made Right Here" video: Stern employees like what they do. Turnover is low at the pinball company, and some employees have been there for upwards of 40 years."
Hardly sounds like people being treated like slaves. As stated already.. Buying a machine is supporting the workplace not something to feel "guilty" about.
