Quoted from Hazoff:R u guys for real? Prices increase on most items every year from food to electricity so on and so on and all of these factors play a role in the increased pricing of manufactured goods and a lot of other areas, I would agree prices are too high but to make it out like ur some victim when you don't have to buy pins is really stupid, priced out then find a new hobby. Jesus am I the only one that can see whats happening here, these guys know this won't last and are capitalizing, same thing in the used market, 3 to 4K for a Shadow, WTF? don't buy anything, its quite simple.
I understand what you are saying. Don't consider myself a victim but just trying to get Stern to realize they are killing their market base. If their plan is to die guns blazing then I guess they are on schedule. This applies to JJP for that manner, there's a reason why JJP suddenly switched paths and created another tiered version of their dialed-in.
I'm just sticking with what i've got right now because there is no way I'm spending what they are asking. For me it's *f me three ways* kinda situation
1) Price increases
2) Code updates that are random, in some cases poorly tested
3) Stripping down of features on the pro to place on higher models
I love pinball but I'm not a millionaire.
