Quoted from DCFAN:

I don't think TMNT appeals to the 50 plus crowd. TMNT was released in the mid to late 80's. A 50 year old like myself was probably around 17 or 18 before we ever heard of them and it was kid's stuff to most of us. For me it falls in the same category as Pokeman and Transformers.

Quoted from TreyBo69:

I hope they pay Jack Danger well to deal with the brunt of the criticism, even though he has little to do with these kinds of decisions. Lots of upset people blowing up his streaming hustle.
Also Stern is in a lose-lose. They issued a boilerplate PR announcement. What are they supposed to announce, "hey we have something exciting to show...well it's not that exciting for our core customers, but you should still come visit us!"

Quoted from sethi_i:

I get your point, but that's not feasible for them. They are producing a $4k pinball machine for a target market that doesn't regularly buy them. They need to generate real excitement, not just use the word in a press release. And if anyone says there isn't any excitement surrounding this game, I say 1240 posts in a relatively short time (in just one forum thread) would indicate otherwise.
Stern needs people talking about their machines, and they have that. Sure, rave reviews are better, but silence is death.
