ok....so they're doing like 110+ distro games up front and 150 distro games in between 143 online and 362 online....thats pretty messed up.
honestly its not even the 100 up front, thats kinda expected here. but the 150 between the first 50 and second 50 online orders...cmon guys....

Quoted from f3honda4me:

So the expectation of simply being fair to direct and distributors evenly across the board is unreasonable or abnormal? That's what I'm trying to understand. Spooky can distribute these however they see fit, so long as they are up front about it. If they are going to do something abnormal like 100+ games to whomever, then to direct for 50, and then another 200 games to non direct, they should tell us first.

Quoted from donkadelic:Do you not understand that this makes even less sense, not more. Look at the order # vs game # list. There are no multiples or very little, or they would be further spread apart....the numbers do not lie here, pretty basic math.

1818 143
if there were any multiples in there, say order 1791 was for 2...order 1792 would be 123 in line, not 122....
also....why are you letting resellers get their 2nd game before others get their 1st???
one last thing...how do you explain these jumps in production vs order #s? it goes up 57 orders but jumps 220 machines along the way?

Quoted from seenev:

Maybe licensors will take note of this whole situation and not license huge IPs to small businesses that can't meet demand. I have a feeling that general feelings toward spooky are going to be more negative after R&M because they're trying to force a big IP into their small business model and people are frustrated from not being able to get a game, or having to wait a long time, or seeing people selling spots, or having to join a paid club to have a chance to get a game, or having to decide before they see any real gameplay... Etc etc.

Quoted from bemmett:

I don't want to be Mr. Poopy Butthole here but....

Quoted from JustEverett:

I've always like Zach and SDTM, but it's starting to feel more and more like he is just a Stern shill. I've never heard him say a bad thing about Stern in all the media I've heard him on. I could be wrong, but it's just been feeling more and more like that to me. I'm sure Stern is the bread and butter of a company like Flip N Out, so I understand. Bottom line is I don't care to see him be the first one streaming R&M.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Total shill. All their Stern reviews are “weee!! Yay! This is amazing” ...then they review a classic like Addams, a game 100x what lost Sterns could hope to be, and they crap on it. Clear and transparently trying to suppress the classic game market by gaslighting potential customers into thinking new = better.

Quoted from Tilt:

I just dont care for cartoon animation shows, never have. I havent even watched an episode of the Simpsons. Now if this was a Law and Ordre pin, then it would go straight to my collection, lol

Quoted from Alwaysbrokenpins:

This release started out bad and is getting worse. If you don’t understand supply and demand you don’t need to be involved in manufacturing license as big as Ricky & Morty. Pissing off more people than you service is sort of a bad marketing plan. I am not really blaming Spooky at this point if the licensors had any understanding about Pinball production they would’ve laughed at the concept of 750 machines.
