Quoted from kpg:Hello All,
I have formally drafted an open letter to Gary Stern, requesting a public response and acknowledgment of the promised "Playfield Replacement Program".
This is combined with the petition that has received almost 100 signers, amounting to well over 7 figures of Stern Pinball Inc. purchases.
I am simply looking for Stern to communicate to us customers better, and nothing more at this point.
Please see the petition here:
https://www.change.org/p/gary-stern-replace-defective-stern-pinball-machine-playfields
Please read my open letter to Gary Stern of Stern Pinball Inc. here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23412786/Stern/Open%20Letter%20to%20Gary%20Stern.pdf
I have also emailed Gary a copy of the letter, the petition, and also the link to this post on Pinside so he sees it is a topic of public discussion.
Please provide feedback and let Gary know of your support of the requests in my letter, and how better communication regarding the significant playfield defects will only make us appreciate and support Stern Pinball Inc. in the long term.
Thank you for your support.
Kris
Almost 100 signatures, huh?
How many did that Apple Macbook petition you were talking about get?
You've got to admit this all seems kind of silly. Where you do go after the petition and the open letter? A press conference?
Maybe....and I'm not joking here, I'll be able to help out...a We Are the World-style collaborative anthem to raise awareness for this issue? Using the exact same tune and meter?
I got the first verse and chorus!
---------------------------------------------------------
We Are The Annoyed (USA For New Playfields)
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When pinside must come together as one
There are inserts ghosting
And shooter lanes that chip
The greatest insult of all
We can't go on pretending day by day
That Gary, Gomez, or Rapp will make a change
We are all part of pinball's great big family
And the truth you know
New Playfields is all we need
We are the annoyed
We are Stern buyers
We are the ones who go to change.org
And write open letters
There's a formal letter I'm drafting
I'm gettin' it notarized
It's true we're gonna make life hell
for poor Gary!
someone wanna take this over for me?
