Quoted from PW79:

On a more positive note
I hope Elvira & Pulp Fiction happen... & are done quite well. Also I hope Stern gets the QC issues figured out & hashes out code nicely. I would rather praise them than "bash" them.
Because in the end, they're my favorite manufacturer. They made LOTR, TSPP, FGY, RBION, AC/DC, TWD, AS, MET & a few other bad ass games I adore.
Love my Sterns, love em. I am dealing with cabinet issues right now as well. Maybe that's why I'm so vocal in this thread? Stern is like a relative or friend that I care about... who smokes crack & steals my money from time to time. You know, they disappoint ya sometimes but they're you're cousin n shit from back in the day you were tight with.

Quoted from Procrastinator:

Well there was clearly sterns with high hardness numbers so it's not like they don't know what they are doing. On top of it, it's just data, no reason to get your titties all twisted.
You wanna know why everyone seemingly has a problem with stern? It's because most don't, they simply ask questions and are curious if there $9k pin is gonna look like dogshit in 6 months. Every time someone makes a comment even seemingly slighted at stern, here comes their army to defend them to their core. Most of the time innocuous comments are twisted around like their is some ulterior motives, and we just want stern to fail. The truth is most people want stern to succeed because they do put out some fun games. Maybe if people wouldn't kiss their ass and say, thank you sir, may I have another, maybe they would fix their issues.
What makes it even more ridiculous is I want a new stern. Trying to decide between a MET, TWD, GB or ST. But according to you, we are just a bunch of anal haters who just dislike stern. Instead of always grabbing your white knight shield, maybe try understanding some people are trying to make sure they don't end up with trash for their $9k purchase.
Otherwise if it clearly bothers you so much, then piss off somewhere else.

Quoted from MinusWorlds:

Prices may not come down, but features could come up
It's about getting value for your money. Someone please try and argue that Star Wars is a good value. PLEASE. I need a good laugh.

Quoted from CaptainNeo:

I was a star wars fan, and the DE SW blew me away. I was relatively new at the time when it came out and didn't know pinball all that well. If I would have seen the Stern SW back then. I would have been like....Meh :/

Quoted from flashinstinct:

Yes and no...afm has a drop bank in front with the scoop in the back combined with the saucer. MET has the 3 target bank with the magnet. SW is a tie fighter on a coil with one target.
It's ok. Stern can keep pumping out this shit and less people will buy.
