Quoted from jfh:If this happens, there may be a lot of pissed off MMR owners thinking that PPS/CG spent time and resources on this at the expense of the way-behind-schedule MAmR project.
I'm looking forward to AFMR - would like to see one next to my RFM - but I think it would be a horrible PR move by PPS/CG to show AFMR at TPF when only a handful of MMR owners will have their game by then.
I don't understand why many people think pinball development is a linear, monolithic process. Lots of work went into developing the updated platform, testing it, adapting the original MM components to work with it, get the vendors lined up for making the custom parts, etc. Designing AFM should be a much shorter process as the platform is developed, and the other stuff is in place to reproduce existing parts. Once the task of somebody in the process is done, are they supposed to twiddle their thumbs until the games are all off the assembly line and shipped? or do they start working on something new in their task area? Really, people.
