Operators aren't buying. Location pinball is dead until covid is cured. They need to make money somehow with the lower demand. Hobby keeps attracting noobs with pockets full of cash. Why not raise prices. Good job Stern!

Quoted from Lermods:I’m not sure price is the main issue. JJP makes much better games imo, and I’m ok paying more for them because I always feel like I get a more substantial machine. Compare a wonka/DI standard to a tmnt premium.
I agree JJP makes a better quality machine than Stern. I hesitate to say this as I know the JJP fanboys will come out and lash me. JJP games just lack the fun factor of Stern. I can't put my finger on it but even though Sterns are made like paper junk, they are just super fun to play. JJP code is just not fun for the neophytes (which is like most people) and takes time to figure out. Every non pinhead that comes over will play Wonka but always gravitate to the Sterns. JJP can just do a lot better on their software to make it more approachable to beginners as it's currently lacking hard.
Quoted from PanzerFreak:You do realize there's a $7500 Wonka standard right?
JJP standards are better quality than a Stern premium also.
