I was the very first one to point out Zach being biased toward certain people or products once he started mingling with people in the pinball industry. I was the first one to say the the SDTM show wasnt as good as it was when they first started it. I sure did take a lot of downvotes for expressing my unpopular opinion but i would just like to take this opportunity to say I TOLD YOU SO!
You cant become friends with people like this and still be unbiased. You would have to shit on their products to do so and who wants to shit on a friends product? Nobody is going to do that and unless you are a moron that’s understandably so and of course Zach cant shit on Stern publicly now because they would pull his license to sell and tell him to go to hell.
Here is what people need to remember. Zach got to where he is right now because of one reason, and that reason is because HE LOVES PINBALL. He loves it so much that he worked his ass off to become a distributor. He wanted to work in the pinball industry some how or another and i cant fault him for that.
With all that being said though, i truly believe in my heart that Zach is a good honest and trustworthy guy. He's loves pinball and is great for this hobby. Ive had a couple little spats with Zach but I'm here to tell you people that the Zach i know personally is a top notch guy and a good human being. If he ever gives me a reason to believe any different i will be the first to say it but right now he’s a good dude and i love the guy. We all make mistakes in life but who you are inside is what really matters, doesn't matter if you are rich, poor, stupid as hell, highly educated, ugly or pretty......only thing that matters is your heart. Theres no need to pound on him for being passionate about pinball.
Also I've bought a few things from Zach and one item in particular had a bad problem that Stern as usual dropped the ball on and Zach got pissed and got on the phone and made shit happen. He was more mad than i was about the situation. Zach wont put you off and ignore you like alot of others distributors do. That may change when he gets richer and bigger (doubtful) but as of right now he’s a great distributor.
