Quoted from SLCpunk2113:I like buying direct because I like as much of my money going directly to the people who actually make the product and not to a middle man who in this case literally doesn’t do anything if I get my game directly shipped from spooky which would also be my preference.
Everyone is entitled to do what they want. I see more value in building a relationship with a distributor that sells machines from all the manufactures. My distro does actually do stuff outside of just selling us the machine. In the real world outside of pinball this model of business selling through distributors is proven and successful. IMO
