    Quoted from snowy_owl:

    For what it's worth, I don't really think any pinball machine can really be accurately described as "a pile of shit". Sure, some machines are better than others, but it really annoys me when people go trashing other people's hard work. Why do you even bother?

    Because one is made by a reputable company probably responsible for 90% of today's NIB sales, and the other is a legit pile of shit from a racist, homophobic asshat. And said pile of shit has a center ramp that had to be replaced because it didn't work (HTF does a ramp not work???), and I believe it still doesn't have a switch to award points or trigger sounds. It's just moves the ball to the back of the PF. Good way to allocate the central shot of your PF. Meanwhile the left hand side only has one real shot because the pops are horribly placed due to the pool lock and therefore both take up all the left hand real estate. And the right side looks equally boring. Also, I think the lock bar is made of paper mache.

    DeadFlip did a SW Home stream a week or two ago. Granted he got to wizard mode I think twice in 2 balls, but at least it's a super popular Disney license in a functioning pin with half decent build, layout, and scoring. The other has more people saying "I walked away before ball 3" than BBBB reviews.

    Quoted from Agent_Hero:

    Attacks one game designer while owning a game made by a pedophile. Iā€™d like to hear the rationale for that.

    Wow, just saw this in a search for something else. While acknowledging JT is a F'ing horrible person, are we now to burn all games that he had a hand into developing (that includes all Stern Ghostbusters, and the models of WWE and Mustang sold)? That would also include all BoP, JD, Flintstones, Black Rose, Congos, and many dozen others as well. There's a vast difference between owning a game made by a team of many talented people... one of which ended up being a terrible person worthy of his punishment and his parent company discontinuing all projects associated with that person, and another being a COMPANY who is selling new products to you right now, and headed and owned by an openly racist, homophobic a-hole.

    Oh, and BTW while we're on the topic of pot calling out kettles, one of your top 10 is "made by a pedo".
