Quoted from Silverbak:Stern went cheap with NBA in 2009. They were bailed out at around that time and continued on their cost saving ways. Their cheapness (build quality, lack of playfield mechanics and ruleset quality) has caught up with them & I don't think their last few titles have sold well
If Deeproot release 10 games at reveal, with different price points, that will be available for years, which have more innovative mechanics (which are cheaper to make) and software that is continually updated for years, they will have my business, its a no brainer
I keep hearing about DR as if they are some kind of white knight to save us all from evil stern. Come on guys, no way DR will be able to produce 10 games, let alone one in any kind of mass production way. It’s not that easy. There’s a ton of deep talent and experience at JJP, Spooky and AP, don't you think they’d be doing it if they could. The stern pro, particularly in the secondary market is the best value out there. If you want luxury, you get JJP...AP and spooky fall somewhere in the middle and compete with stern Premiums. Personally, I have zero expectations for DR.
