I really don't like the concept of forced exclusivity. Python had it right. Someone with real passion wants to share that passion with as many people as possible, even if it's their own downfall.

Someone who wants to feel superior to other people would see limited runs as a chance to "hang a painting on the wall". That's fine if you like that kind of stuff, just don't expect a lot of support from the 99%.

Oh snap, will we get to play something at SFGE?!!?!

I definitely believe everyone should have access to the same healthcare. No child should suffer because their parents can't afford it.

My world? Sorry man, but you don't know shit about me. I actually agree with VIP, First Class Flights, etc.....

However, I don't agree with the selfish notion that basic services should be based on income. Access to healthcare, basic foods, etc... are required by human life. VIP service and pinball machines are a luxury. That's the BIG difference. Buy as many first class tickets as you want, but enjoy your wakeup call when I sit next to you. Not everyone who can afford it likes to rub it in people's faces.

Great for you man. So underprivileged kids can have access to your pinballs, just not your doctors? Got it. What have I done? Probably nothing, and not the topic of the discussion anyway.

I'm not telling you how to spend your money. Stop twisting the argument away from the original one. I'm telling you that your desire to somehow be superior to other pinheads purely through money and forced exclusivity is a position that I don't respect at all.

You want Pinball Circus to have a limited run so that you could brag about having one. That's what I take issue with.

I don't speak for the entire community, and you aren't the only person that collects things the way you do. I speak only for myself, and I think being selfish isn't cool, end of story.

Sweet!! Looking forward to it.

Don't forget to stop by the Pinside meet up at SFGE. Friday night at 9:30 in the Dogwood room.

Maybe the pinball circus team would be cool enough to bring some art or something to show off at the meet and greet?

I checked out pinball circus today. What a cool concept. The DMD is beautiful without any block lines.

Picked up a nice piece of art from the booth as well.

I totally forgot to take any picture of it. I was so star struck it didn't even enter my mind. Even my wife thought it looked like a neat game.

It's a little bit of news that production is iffy. I bought merch and supported the project thinking I was supporting getting these things designed and to production.

Is all the money raised going toward funding sample games for the team, or are those people receiving them paying a price for the machine above the money that is donated/raised?

Apologies if this has been asked/answered before, I just want to have clarity for myself.

I get that, but is the money going to fund the sample games for the team members and the giveaways?

I'm not against that, I just want to know. People should get some reward for working hard on it, but I doubt I would have opened my wallet as easy if that's the case. If production is a secondary to getting your own games paid for, just be on the level about that.

Yep, I did get what I paid for, and I'm happy with my items. Next time I will be a smarter consumer and more clearly understand what I am supporting when I purchase "just a piece of art" or " just a shirt".

Like I said, I'm happy with my purchases, and I will probably purchase more. I also have some appreciation for the amount of work you guys are putting into it. I really liked seeing the game at SFGE in June and look forward to seeing it again. I just wanted to know more clearly what the goals are, it's partially my fault for not having attended any of your seminars.

Does anyone know if the latest stuff will be at SFGE?

It would have to be a nessy instead of a snake.
