GoT-LE was the only game I ever sold at a loss. I see the same for richie's newest release.

What if JJP would have done Star Wars??

I think they would have hit it out of the park.

The reason the SW machine is price rich and feature poor is certainly not due to the licensing fee.

Perhaps it is that stern is making machines today at their lowest cost of goods sold ever and their profit per machine is at its highest.

They are simply putting less dollars into a machine than ever before.

While there are no other manufactures that offer a lower cost PRO model like stern does, they are really raking in the money with prems and le's.

Sterns lowcost pro model is their bread and butter and competitive advantage against everyone else.

I completely agree. GoT was the hardest game to figure out for me and guests. I know people will say it is so simple but I never saw it after a year. If SW is the same and is what Dwight is about then I don't have any desire to own it.

Don't go advertising that fact too widely. Stern will pick up on it and pre-drill, t-nut and harness for future LE's ONLY.

Stern gives the programming lead a game with every project.

Higher prices and lower quality.

Thanks a lot stern!

That is normal for the spike system. Very annoying.
