Quoted from PoMC:JJP could say no thanks?
Listen, he may not have had a big hit for a while but this guy can still design with the best of them.
Quoted from John_I:Haha what? Just in the past decade AC/DC, ST, GoT, SW and LZ are all fantastic games (the premiums and LEs, not the pros). Not saying his originals are bad, because they are not. The bad SR games are the ones that have the main feature torn out. SW pro has no Hyper ramp. BKSoR Pro no upper playfield. GoT Pro same thing. And so on...
This is a good point...I would also say the low BOM may also be a culprit. Look at ST, or SM..they're both great layouts but suffer from one thing or another that had nothing to do with Steve's design
Quoted from RobT:So you don’t even bother to read the thread before you post in it?
Anyway it’s official now.
My source was correct. Again.
I don't understand the pushback about this....we hear all kinds of rumors on here but I guess rumors of employment is a bridge too far.
Quoted from JoeJet:Done deal?

Lol, damn, you could've waited one more minute before posting...I saw that after hitting enter.
Quoted from Haymaker:Its still available and could be used. It really doesn't have many or maybe any advantages over todays playfield coatings. Everything you've said is wrong and debunked forever ago. The problems are not due to environmental restrictions for the chemicals. Today's clearcoats are better than ever. Diamond plate isn't the end all be all of playfield coatings. If it was, you'd see guys like HEP using it instead of their clearcoats.
How has it been debunked?
Quoted from PanzerFreak:That seems like a clear indication of lower forced game budgets. I couldn't imagine having to argue for a few extra drop targets, magnets, or a physical ball lock. These games are insanely priced and should come loaded, especially after all of the price hikes.
This is was the biggest take away from that interview....unbelievable! Price hikes every year yet they're limiting designers to save 80 bucks worth of parts
Quoted from PinMonk:Tony Bennett was NINETY FIVE before just giving up touring last week. Some people love what they do.
I got to see him performe in 2016...he was awesome.
