Quoted from ThatGuyBo:

So, I got to play it a little, and chatted with the team as well as the stern employee that was there.
Price is TBA, but it’s going to be way more than it should be, above $9,000 according to one of the guys behind it.
They kept saying it was 75%-80% done.
Machine shot as expected.
Art and design were hit or miss depending upon where you look, even if you’re into the ape aesthetic.
Optional translite will have an ape owners ape for an additional fee, but the generic translite will be included with all machines.
Audio was better than I expected but still needs work.
The team behind the theme kept taking way too much credit for the machine, way over stating what they did. They made it seem as if they designed the entire machine and layout.
It will support insider connected according to the stern employee there.
I doubt it will sell out as fast as they expect, very few at the fest acknowledge it was there or went to check it out.

Quoted from jawjaw:

I think you should listen to your dad more tbh.

Quoted from DS_Nadine:

Of course you are correct, this is what Stern does.
But again, when I say NFT's are the antitheis to pinball. What I mean by that:
One thing is purely digital, basically only a link. It has a picture connected to it (that can be copied) and it's worth is purely speculative and there is basically nothing you can do with it other then speculate.
The other thing is a mainly physical machine. You get a fully functional thing in itself wich, while also having a speculative worth, will at least allways have the worth of the sum of it's parts, you can still play it and it can't be copied.
These two "markets" shouldn't collide... it's not right! XD

Quoted from Elvishasleft:

As Bloomberg mentioned today...
the smart money is already out, everyone else will likely just keep riding it to the bottom as support collapses.
Same shit happened in the .com market and history always repeats itself.
Like any form of gambling the house always wins and the people who can least afford to get plowed usually do.
