Stern of the Union Address

Quoted from unigroove:
Pinball Magazine has been putting out monthly recap updates on Who's Working On What for over a year. Always nice to see a good idea being copied

You are a magazine. Pretty sure close to 100% of them are monthly.
Does not seem like a huge idea you guys just thought up.
I don't think Stern is really copying you guys.
I'm not trying to bash your mag. and I always look forward to your emails.

Quoted from TheLaw:
From what the programmers say around here, adding more people won't help anything. Apprently code is like a fine wine or some shit like hat.

Like this one?

Quoted from txstargazer3:
As long as we are gazing into the possible future, a finalized GB code might greenlight a Color DMD project. GB could use one of those.

Like I need another reason to spend $400.....
But I do.

Quoted from Shapeshifter:
So, we must be due the November monthly update soon?
Are the code updates for KISS, AS and GB any closer?

Eagerly awaiting info on Aerosmith and GB code.
But not really expecting much.
Surprise us Stern. Give us some tidbits of what is being worked on please.

Quoted from Aurich:
Very cool, happy to say I didn't expect that, but it doesn't actually address the point, which is there are no cannon modes, and Lyman said there never will be. I still see people complaining about it in the new code thread, move on already.

Maybe you are right, but we should take it with a grain of salt.
Remember back when you said the game was done and would never have an update. And that we should move on.
Well I am glad I stayed put.

Quoted from Aurich:
Shrug, I'm just repeating what Lyman said. He can change his mind, I'm not a wizard, but he said he tried it and didn't find it fun, so he scrapped it.
Glad people are enjoying the new code. Wouldn't have changed anything about me selling my ACDC if I'd known it was coming, but looks like a solid update.

I realize you are not a Wizard. Yes, Lyman messed you over a bit.
But when you speak in such finality like things are gospel, people are likely to bring it up when the opposite happens.
Just human nature.
Continue on soldier.

Quoted from Midway-Man:
What a joke... mid-summer haha...

I think we all new the mid summer thing was pie in the sky.
While I am glad they are trying to communicate better it looks like Aerosmith, KISS and GB have been back burner projects
Shame, as Guardians, Batman, Star Wars, and Maiden seem to get updates weekly.

Quoted from Rondogg:
Sounds more like they haven't even started on it.

I also believe this to be the case.
After all these months the updates should be... "We have seen what is coming in this latest code update, and you guys are going to love it. Totally changes the game."

That's the Stern code status update I have been looking for.
Sadly we get only bad news after all this time.
