It's been said in many other posts complaining about every manufacturer...if you don't like it, don't buy it. None of these pinball companies are perfect - either JJP is too expensive, or Stern's quality sucks, or Spooky is making pins too slowly, or there is a decal crack on a CGC machine, etc. etc. Whatever a companies motives are - either to get richer or to stay in business, it is their prerogative. Speak with your wallet. If a company truly makes bad decisions they will go out of business and perhaps that is what should happen. I don't want any of these companies to go out of business as I think they all provide something cool and unique to the world of pinball.
